Heavy duty makeup

Dior forever
waterproof mascara
Lip tint
thick falsies. when I'm done you wouldnt recognise me from my casual look

My clients prefer the showgirl look

Estee lauder is so reliable, its on my shopping list

Stila Stay All Day is good, but when it's really scorchio, I used a BB or CC cream and then Lily Lolo mineral foundation (I found Bare Minerals irritated my skin a little; other brands are undoubtedly available). It looks nice and matte but natural, and the best thing is you can just refresh it easily whenever during the day. I'd recommend investing in a big, good quality kabuki brush for application.

?30 Estee Lauder double wear is perfect full coverage for my whole face then ?10 Max Factor FaceFinity for the area around my mouth as it always needs touch ups after clients, same shade and it's 3x as cheap (and has a pump).

I try to only touch my face with clean brushes and not my own hands because the oils and dirt can cause breakouts so a client touching my face really irritates me because they always manage to ruin the coverage and contouring and it's not good for skin.

A client once recommended Lipfinity to me after I wore red lippy for a BJ on request and finished looking like a clown.. Have no idea how he knew
Although to be honest I prefer just lipbalm with clients, find lipstick too messy

I am currently using Rimmel but I recently tried Estee Lauder and I literally had to scrape it off inbetween clients because it stuck like glue! Awful.

I've gone off the Rimmel colour and love Elizabeth Arden's Toasty Beige but it's the stuff you put on with the sponge and it takes too long. Their other products are all 24 hour 'glue to your face.'

It seems to me that all the foundations are geared towards women who want it to stay on all day, whereas I just want to look good for each booking and not like a patchy clown.

Has anyone found the perfect work foundation?

Kat Von D tattoo liquid eyeliner doesn't move and is the most pigmentated liner I've used and collections concealer is amazing and like 3.00

It's a pen nib type one which I find so much easier than a brush, the lock it foundation she does is also brilliant very full coverage but I don't waste that on work

I like a natural foundation so use No7 Intelligent Colour it adjusts and matches to your skin tone so you buy it in light, medium or dark its hypo-allergenic and SPF6. I love it because its so light with a fluffy mousey consistency it spreads and covers wonderfully giving a light dewy coverage that's easy to remove when you want it off.
