I love the Dior spray on mist it's brilliant but I think it was 35 quid and I kept touching up and ran out in a week , so just back to maybelline v dark love it covers but not to Matt that it shows my wrinkles, I've had every mascara under the sun , expensive and cheap but my total favourite is rimmel scandalous , big fat burgs and makes my lashes really long , plus you can build up and fan out the ends xxx

Skindinavia do good spray primers and setting spray which helps keep everything on. RCMA no colour powder is great to keep your skin matte and your foundation from shifting as well.

The best way to prevent creasing under the eyes if you use concealer or corrector there is to immediately set it with powder after you've applied and blended it.

Seventeen at Boots do an amazing liquid eyeliner called Tattoo Me which is really cheap and doesn't budge. Their mascara Falysifeye HD is the best mascara I've ever used and it's only about seven or eight quid.

Also another thing I love is making products multi-purpose - if you sweep a little bit of red lipstick over the crease of your eyelids with a dark brown eyeshadow it gives a really nice rusty/copper shade. I also really like using lipsticks as blusher - just dot a tiny bit on and blend with your fingers. The creamy texture works really well.

Thanks for the tip about the Airspray, I hate wearing foundation but have a couple of big spots at the moment so spent a debenhams gift card that has been in my purse for months. Very happy with it - I normally scrape foundation off the minute I've finished work as it feels so horrible but ended up going out shopping with it still on and didn't feel irritated at all.

My tip for cheap eyeliner is GOSH liquid liner from Superdrug. It's under a fiver and I've found it stays on from 7am to 9pm with no retouch needed, even in warm weather. Comes off without scrubbing with most cleansers as well.

Dior Airflash is the best foundation I've ever used. It's medium-to-full coverage but you can't see it on your skin.

That's the one I meant it's really good but expensive for everyday worked out I needed about 3 cans a month lol ( I kept touching up between clients) it's so easy though .

Maybelline 24 hour stay lipstick like a lipgloss but goes on Matt , doesn't transfer onto clothes etc so it's safe , my clients love it bright red , but it's impossible to get off if you need to pop to the paper shop etc .
plus even after cleansing / washing it's still there in the morning, can be quite scarey if you pass a mirror first thing in the morning and you've forgotten !

I love Bourjois' rice powder over a liquid foundation: it's only about a fiver and has an ultrafine formulation that doesn't look at all cakey.

My favourite 'does what it says on the tin' mascara is Rimmel's 100 percent waterproof, especially as you can get it in brown/black.

 Bought a Max Factor Lipfinity yesterday but not very impressed with it as it didn't stay on at all. Might try the Maybelline 24 instead.

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?


Depending on what coverage you want but you might be better off using a tinted moisturiser? Boots No7 is quite good but only for a natural look.

Chanel,  the simple fact that I can now afford to wear Chanel for work makes me happy! Plus all of my friends who have no idea what I do love raiding my make up bag when we are out. Perfume is also chanel but I make sure I get clients to buy that for me.... its amazing what you can get if you ask with a twinkle in your eye!

That seriously doesn't come off , the one with two ends , if you just use the colour one , I've even blotted on a white napkin to prove my point..it's totally safe with shirts etc if blotted a tiny bit x

Tried Maybelline 24 today and its much better at staying on than the Lipfinity.

Lipfinity will come off if you eat something oily or greasy
