Make up on maternity leave

Just that really.
I’m not looking to plaster full coverage foundation on everyday but I’d like something to lightly cover redness on cheeks and nose (I’ve got pink undertones and oily skin)
I’ve tried BB creams but they’re always so limited in colour (normally bright orange and so greasy)
Something low maintenance that won’t need too much blending etc.

I use The Ordinary serum foundation day-to-day. It’s super lightweight and just melts in. I find because it’s quite sheer it doesn’t matter if you don’t get quite the right shade.

Have you tried Lily Lolo's BB cream, OP? I hadn't had much success before but am very happy with that. Their mineral powder is also good, you can use as much as you like for a quick cover or a more intentional look Smile

I love this product - gives a great healthy glow when used on its own.

Also on mat leave atm - this is my favourite (can be found on amazon too):
seamagik.com/bb-cream-50ml-diamond-range.html. I do follow up with a little powder though as I’m oily.
If you want to add a little colour I recommend this kit from drunk elephant (but I’m biased as I’m obsessed with the brand): www.boots.com/drunk-elephant-catch-some-rays-set-10298809

Nars tinted moisturiser. It lasts ages and has so many shades.

You do need to get matched for it in person but I find nars products last so well as you don't need to use as much as other brands

I use tan luxe facial drops, they give you a golden glow all the time without needing to apply daily

Also a huge fan of Nars tinted moisturiser!
