Get a perfect foundation base - quickly!

I was trotting around town in my lunch hour yesterday, when I bumped into a friend I haven't seen for a good couple of months,"Wow! You look great, your skin looks really good..." she said.

"What? I don't think so, I've got loads of spots" I replied, in my usual 'put myself down when someone tries to complement me' style.

But I knew why she said it.

You see, my skin isn't great - it's fine from my forehead to my cheeks, but I still get spots on my chin (and I'm nearly 30 - how unfair is that!?). So I spend ages willing them away and wondering whether it's a) my concealer making them worse b) the fact I slept in my makeup again c) my face wash or d) the Pill. Still haven't found a solution, so it's probably e) bad luck.

But, I have found a temporary answer and it's simple. Camouflage.

Not slap-it-on pollyfilla-style caked-on concealer, but, light foundation applied with a professional make-up brush. Not only does this brush cover my skin in this incredible 'no spots to be seen' sheen, but it is SO quick to apply.

Note for this morning - if you have an issue with uneven application, bite the bullet and shell out £25 (ouch) for a MAC Duo Fibre Brush.

It works!

Have a great day Busy Girls, I'm off to apply my makeup - oh, don't forget to clean the brush every week with makeup wipes.

Love Eva xx
