Le Beiges Chanel, Vieve Complexion Balm, Nars Light Reflecting, and Dior Forever foundation stick, all have incredible application.

Lasting power isn't great on any of them though, but the Chanel seems to last longest of the 3.

The Chanel is my absolute die hard favourite.

I find it lasts all day if I fix with a slight dab of airbrush translucent powder around my T zone, and setting spray. But it still gives that glowy finish.

Any recommendations for a cheaper alternative for work?

For mascara that doesn’t smudge at all, try Clinique Lash Power. I’ve always had a problem with mascara making me look like a panda after a few hours but that stuff does not shift.

I’m currently trying Merit tubing mascara but I’m not finding it that great. It’s ok but nothing more. Their Minimalist stick foundation is a game changer for me however and I love the blusher.

Loving Benefit bad girl bang at the mo. You can sometimes get a decent deal on the big one and mini one together in a set.

For mascara, try the heroine make long and curl or volume and curl. It doesn't budge at all (I've even cried in it and it didn't even flake) and it is very impactful. I use the lengthening one and it always makes my lashes look amazing. Just need a strong makeup remover at the end of the day! Also really like the benefit magnet mascara. For bottom lashes, innissfree do a particular bottom lash mascara with a particularly skinny wand for those tiny lashes which is great.

Trolls I really need help with a new mascara after Boots changed the formula on my go to - Extreme Lash. I'm spending £££ trying to find a suitable replacement! Musts are:

Waterproof
Plastic comb/wand rather than brush
Buildable so I can have a "light" look or more drama

Ones I've tried:

L'oreal telescopic lift - smudges badly
Maybelline sky high - find it doesn't coat lashes well
Max factor lash crown - not buildable enough

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I don’t really know what kind of product I am looking for but wondered if someone can help :ROFLMAO:

I fake tan my body but not my face as it normally causes spots. I don’t like to wear foundation every day so I normally use the Rimmel sun shimmer one day tan stuff, but I don’t like how matte it is and that it comes off so easily if anything touches it. Does anyone know of anything I could use instead that would look like a natural tan? Any skin tints or anything like that? I’ve heard about elf halo filter but wasn’t sure if that would do it

Does anyone have any recommendations for a moisturizer that is a nice glowy base for under makeup? I love the glowy skin look that's everywhere at the moment but I find most moisturizers tend to dry quite matte and it makes my foundation look dry and cakey.

Can anyone recommend a lip gloss that they really like? I’ve just bought what I thought was a lip gloss but is actually more a balm (Dior Addict Lip Glow) which is really nice but quite discreet- I was maybe wanting something a bit more obvious for a special event. If relevant, I am super pale skinned (to the extent that I am that pale I often look bordering on poorly…), would love to hear if anyone has a lipgloss they would swear by.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good body concealer to cover dark thread veins on my legs? I've tried Dermablend but the coverage and colour match could be better 😊
