Make up questions

[gregssausageroll]

2 things I wonder if you can help me with.

First, around my nose and slightly onto my cheeks is becoming a bit more red (in my old age!). Although my foundation covers this in the morning, it appears through towards the end of the day. anything I can use? I do use smashbox and Laura Mercier primers.

Secondly, what do you recommend in a compact foundation for medium coverage? I need something in my bag for weekends away/touchups etc.

Thanks

mac studio tech is nice and very handy to take around with you - I've found teh women who work in mac enormously helpful with colours etc too

dior foreverskin compact - amazing stuff!

Perhaps IPL skin rejuvenation to get rid of the redness?

Also, you shouldn't really need to touch up foundation during the day, just a little powder perhaps to cover a little shininess.

Maybe change your foundation and use a light reflecting concealer. A foundation that lasts ALL day is Estee Lauder Double Wear. I recommend it all the time and it really does work! Plus, Touche Eclat (YSL).

Second the vote for Double Wear, it is heavy though so I tend to wear it on my nose and chin areas and then use something a bit lighter on the reat of my face (currently Revlon Photo Ready which is lovely). DL is the only foundation I have ever found needs no retouching at all and it gives great coverage.
