Long wearing make up - possible answer

Hi All,

Im a newly registered member to these message boards, but i always have read each thread with great interest!

ever since i was 14 (im now 25) ive always worn make - up. I have never ever found a foundation that suited my skin colour (im very pale with several scars (due to an accident)), nor have a found one that stays put!.............. Until now!

I was in my local poundland shop and i noticed that they have CVS gradual tan in fair, which i purchased (who doesnt want a bit of colour!!) Whilst in my town centre i went to Superdrug where i purchased MUA powder in shade two! This is Superdrugs own brand and it cost £1 (bargain in itself)
So i continued on my bargain hunt and went to Aldi and purchased there own foundation in transparent with is no more then £3.

On a work day i get up at seven, apply the CVS gradual tan (wish admittidely doesnt actually tan) was my hands, then apply the foundation with my fingers, and then seal the make up with a light dusting of the MUA powder....... i get home around half five and still by 8/9/10 in the evening my make up is still perfectly flawless! And that is even after touching my face several times throughout the day!!!

Just thought i would share my experience with you and hope someone else can get the same result!

For perfect flawless skin it cost less the £5!!! I say thats a bargain!!!

    You've found something that works for you for a great price . From what's been in the papers etc lately they seem to think expensive creams etc may be a waste of money . At 50+ I still like to try different products + have just had a delivery of a few E.L.F things . I found my make up stays longer by using a primer before foundation . Thanks tho' + will look at the things you used too.
