The quest for healthy skin is on going. But make-up can often offset the positive effects of skincare and further exacerbate problem skin. But not any more, thanks to an exclusive new range launching at Harvey Nichols this July. Cover FX colour cosmeceuticals are dermatologists' first choice for 'Healthy Make-up'.

Since 1985 Lee Graff, a world-renowned corrective make-up specialist at North America's first CosMedic Clinic, has helped thousands of patients mask a variety of skin conditions. For these patients, corrective make-up helps deflect attention away from skin imperfections and allows the individual to face the world with greater confidence.
'After 15 years of an exhaustive and fruitless search for suitable products, the time had come,' says Lee, 'to take everything I had learned over years of using camouflage, concealers and foundations and develop the very best corrective make-up products in the world.'

Rosacea, acne, sun damage, uneven skin tone, birthmarks... you can make them all literally disappear under the veil of Cover FX foundations.
'Every woman wants healthy and flawless looking skin. Women spend thousands of dollars on skincare to achieve great skin. It is only sensible to choose healthy make-up - Cover FX colour cosmeceuticals is just that,' says Lee. 'Our current line of foundations are formulated with the highest purity minerals and dermatologist approved ingredients. Cover FX foundations were designed to offer sheer to moderate coverage for even the most sensitive skin, such as those people suffering from acne or rosacea.'

In fact, professional makeup artists in the film, music and fashion industries have already learned the benefits of the Cover FX 'DermaFix' technology. Dermafix contributes to water resistance, binds to the skin to allow for 'stay-put' all-day wear and enables you to build extra coverage in 'problem' areas. The result is a concealer/foundation all-in-one. The products have also become the darling of wedding photographers, ensuring that the bride's complexion looks absolutely perfect on her big day, even when pre-wedding jitters have caused a skin break out!

If you really want to look after your skin, then daily sun protection is a must and Cover FX cream and Natural FX liquid foundations provide a SPF 30 and SPF 15 respectively. The emollients in these formulations prevent moisture loss, protecting the skin from wind, heat and air pollution, while its water-resistant properties ensure that the make-up stays put in even the most humid conditions. All the ingredients are non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog pores.

In the line you'll find cream, water-based liquid and mineral powder foundations, as well as setting powders, iridescent bronzers, lip treatments and professional-quality application tools. The rich pigment concentration of the foundations allows the use of a bare minimum of product to achieve a flawless coverage. And with a global palette of over 30 shades, clients of virtually any ethnicity or skin tone can find their perfect shade.
'My dream was to help men and women with skin conditions face the world with confidence by offering them makeup products with therapeutic benefits that would perfectly match their skin tone, be affordable, well tolerated by even the most sensitive skins and achieve a perfectly natural, flawless effect,' says Lee. 'And, after receiving feedback from thousands of people who use Cover FX products every day, I'm proud to say we've done it!'

The Cover FX range is priced between £17 and £30 exclusively on the ground floor at Harvey Nichols London
