I never need an excuse to put make up on… However if I’m not going anywhere, besides washing my face and moisturising I usually go without make up. It’s important to let your skin breathe.
However I decided to do a quick spruce. Natural is fine but a little help here and there never hurt anybody.
So here I am in all my plain faced glory. Eek!!!
My skin is combination but it can often get quite oily. Which means my pores get clogged very easily and I still get spots like when I was a teenager!
– It isn’t all bad though because oily skin is thicker than drier skin it helps with resisting the elements better, i.e. weather, pollution etc. So oilier skin can slow down the ageing process.
These are the products I used.
First I applied the Nivea Visage Moisturiser, it’s oil free so it helps keep my face in place.

Next was the No7 Skin Illuminator in pink. It is the most gorgeous product ever and really it’s my secret weapon. It just does exactly what it says on the tin.
My Garnier Roll-on with concealer was then rolled under the eyes and blended using my finger.
The foundation I used was Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in Light Beige – No53. It’s a gel foundation and it also adds radiance, a little goes a long way so fantastic value for money. I used my Fräulein make up brush to do this. This has to be one of my favourite high street foundations at the moment. It’s very natural looking and is so easy to blend.
I used a small amount of my collection 2000 concealer on my spots and around the corner of my eyes where my skin is discoloured. It’s rich and creamy and gives amazing cover. I pressed a small amount of collection 2000 powder to set (not pictured as smashed to smithereens, I’m clumsy).

I then used my Givenchy Eye & Brow Prisme to fill in my brows and tidy them up a bit. It comes with a miniature pair of tweezers, brow brush and shadow brush and also has a little mirror on the inside, so extreamely handy. Its pricey at £30.50 but this is a fantastic little product and a great investment.
I applied a few layers of my Maxfactor False Lash Effect Mascara just to open up my eyes.
I also applied a very small amount of Me Me Me blush in pink to give me back some colour.
Finally I put on some of my Body Shop Lip Butter. (See my review)
And done.
