Professional makeup artist Helen Hand said she follows a simple rule when it comes to youthful makeup, and she used a radiant product to keep Lorraine’s complexion glowy
With a plethora of skincare and tweakments offering solutions to look youthful, Lorraine Kelly’s makeup artist revealed a makeup hack that lifts years off one’s look. Fans were obsessed with Lorraine’s dewy complexion.
Makeup artist Helen Hand shared with the ITV presenter her go-to tips to avoid looking old. In the YouTube video, she created a soft glow look for Lorraine using the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation, which is currently on sale at Boots and reduced from £52 to £44.20.
She explained: “I always think a good head of hair does make you look young. And years ago they used to say ‘cut your hair as you get older’, not necessarily. Just keep it soft, I always use that word. Even with makeup, as we get older, you can use any colour but just keep everything soft. If it’s hard, it’s ageing.”

A natural-looking foundation that infuses the skin with the radiance of a day spent in the great outdoors.
The Chanel Les Beiges foundation contains over 40% water; it is a fresh, lightweight emulsion with a formula that claims to hydrate the skin all day long and give protection. The polymer, which acts as an emulsifying agent, diminishes the appearance of blemishes and fine lines and fills in visible pores for smooth skin.
Lorraine wore shade B30 (medium shade, neutral undertone) and B40 (intense medium shade, neutral undertone), but shoppers can look online and find their match from the selection.
The foundation has a delicate, silky texture that glides over skin and forms a layer that is invisible to the eye and imperceptible to touch, like a second skin. One customer shared: “Good coverage without drying out mature skin. This is the best alternative since Channel discontinued Vitaluminier,. Typically retailing which I had used for many years.”
But a shopper disagreed and said the Les Beiges foundation ‘doesn’t compare’ with the discontinued Vitaluminier as she said: “It does not have the luminosity of your old one.”
Another embraced the dewy look, sharing: “Natural radiance in a bottle. I have been absolutely loving this foundation and the natural look it gives. It’s adaptable with the finish, depending on how you apply it, works incredibly with just your fingers and even more perfecting with a brush. But this will never look too heavy on the skin. People always comment how beautiful my skin looks and ask what skin care I use, my secret is this.”
Alternatively, Chantecaille’s Future Skin Oil-Free Gel Foundation is loved by skincare buffs who want a skin-like foundation with coverage. It is well rated by celebrities like Lisa Snowdon, typically retails at £83, shoppers can take 25% off using code BEAUTY25 to drop the price to £62.25.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin Foundation, £39, offers buildable medium coverage with a natural, radiant glow. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid, rose complex, and patented BixActiv, the base makeup targets pigmentation and helps reduce visible shine and pores.
As for the Chanel foundation Lorraine was wearing, it is formulated with Kalanchoe extract, which forms a barrier on the skin’s surface, that protects against the harmful effects of indoor and outdoor pollution. The Healthy Glow Booster pigments light up skin with a subtle satin finish, giving an increase of 77% in immediate radiance.
