A brief background, TMAM was slightly sceptical of the value of wearing a good foundation everyday (I mean everyday, honestly). Does it make that much difference to your life? I wondered. Plenty of people are spending plenty of money and doing it everyday. So I decided to root out some old Clinique stuff and wear it everyday for a week to see if it was worthwhile. Obviously it being a rigorous and strict clinical trial I put it on at the same time everyday and met the same people each day and never forgot to do it.
The results were as follows:
It made bugger all difference to my appearance and how I looked to everyone else . Also it was a bit slimy, however that might have had something to do with the fact it was 27 degrees outside.
However and this is the important bit. It got me thinking a bit about what my wrinkles looked like skin looked like. One nice MNer suggested trying mineral foundation aka face powder. An alternative was to try a more trendy expensive brand of foundation.
Very kindly the lovely LG&T send me the world's tiniest sample of the alleged miracle inducing Chanel vitafuckinglumiere.
Safe to say Chanel didn't cut it in the tropics and that night I went out feeling slightly orangey and with limited facial movements.
The mineral foundation has proved to be somewhat of a success, though only with me as still no one has passed comment on what fine skin I now have.
Frankly I have no idea how people find time to put the stuff on everyday and now I hear talk of a primer too, think of all the extra time in bed you could be having....
Any of my guinea pigs care to report in with their experiences?
