February. The month when your foundation just doesn’t match

[MelonKim]

Your skin tone because you’re so fucking pale. Yet you don’t want to buy a paler one because waste of money . Right?

Absolutely although I cheated and managed to find an Eve Lom foundation in TK Maxx for £3.99 the other day and it’s in my winter pale shade

Oh shit. I’m jealous. I’m considering buying one. But I know cheap are false economy

Tinted moisturiser is the way for me. My foundation just sits on my weather beaten face. I got a nice new NARS moisturiser and it has done the trick.

But then I could just dilute my normal one. But I look weird in it. There’s no hope is there?

I mix my foundation with whichever primer I'm using during February because it lightens it enough but still gives cover. Otherwise nothing at all would match my cold, pale skin.

Course, it doesn't stop my nose from glowing like a Belisha beacon now that I've caught the inevitable February cold.

Hmm. That’s an idea

I have three shades of maybelyne superstay when it was on 2 for 3 at Superdrug. I mix it using more of the lighter shade in the winter and more of the darker going into summer and just pure darker shade when I have a bit of a tan.

Oh. My. God. THERES A THING!!

The body shop drops you add to foundation are fabulous! Come in light and dark.

So true. I am actually considering buying a shade lighter today...
