@AlmostSummer21

I’m talking after washing/cleansing

It's like you never wrote this 🤣🤣

Mine 0

Haha isn’t it just! Grin That’s fine though! Really interesting to read all the replies and will look up some of the things you use. I’m annoyed though-I forgot my setting spray! No7 stay perfect. I forgot to put it on today-wondered why my face didn’t look as fresh when I got home today!

I’m in agreement with the poster who said about working on skincare. I’ve been the same recently and (believe it or not!) am aiming to use less make-up. Am a P20 and Dermatica convert-skin’s looking so much better and tomorrow I’m definitely going to aim to use a fraction of the foundation I used today.

Keep the answers coming. I’m loving them-even the likes of the chocolate spread one! Grin

Was not happy with the result and as a consequence spent £££ on Cult Beauty today.

I've not been wearing much make up for the last couple of years and what I need (and my style) have really changed.

Excited for it all to arrive tomorrow!

@LilacSorbet

5: Avon tinted moisturiser (won't be a repeat buy - it's grey!) Laura Mercier pressed powder Stila eyeshadow Maybelline mascara Stila blush

If a base makes you look grey it's usually because it has a cool undertone and your skin is a warm undertone so look out for a warm undertone next time...
