Mascara, a radiant face balm, lip gloss and a bit of blush.

Not that I look glam stepping off a plane, usually pretty crumpled.

clarins creme rouge. A little bit of that rubbed on your cheeks (But please DO use a mirror ) makes you look healthy and slighlty flushed.

Lots of people use beauty flash the wrong way. You can either use it like a mask, a thick layer left on for about 10 mins or in teh traditional way. If you are very dry,moisturise first but make sure the cream has long gone before applying the clarins. Basically, you apply it to the skin and instantly, while it is still wet , apply your foundation. That's the bit most people find difficult, they think they are doing it wrong as it feels odd. But it will mix with your foundation and form a seal. You won't notice muCch at the start. The thing with beauty flash is that it keeps your makeup looking as fresh 6 hours late as it was when you first applied it. When I am really busy in work, say round Christmas, I will use it everyday, or if I am working on a wedding. It is also fabulous the morning after if you have to look groomed and the wine has had an effect on the skin wink

Beauty flash balm is clarins

It Does Not work on me

But maybe at 37 I am too haggard (its not moisturising its tightening)

I have heard people swear by Ardens 8hr cream but when I tried it twas like rubbing lard in my visage (still if it works for Kath ZJ)

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
