Anyhoo, I recently came home from a sun holiday, where I learned an excellent little hack for keeping the skin fresh and dewy.
I packed poorly (as usual), and kind of had a mini panic attack when I rummaged through my makeup bag before my first night out.
I had spent the whole day baking on the beach, and just wanted a light layer of makeup for the evening ahead - but all I had with me was a pretty hardcore foundation.
Not ideal, tbh.
So, in what I am calling a FLASH of genius, I basically used a little drop of the foundation, and mixed it with my moisturiser. Simple, and it bloody worked!
Yeah yeah I know, seems pretty obvious, but I just had never really thought of it before.
My original plan was to leg it to the nearest shop and drop at least 20 quid on a tinted moisturiser or BB cream.
So, not only did this beauty hack save my skin, it also saved me the cost of a bottle of wine - win, win.
Now, before you ask, there is absolutely no exact science to this - just squeeze a drop of your foundation into your fave moisturiser and lash it on.
You'll be left with a delightful dewy makeup look, where you can still see those gorgeous freckles and that casual tan.
However, it will give you the coverage you need and want for night ahead.
I personally used this Vichy moisturiser, with a little drop of MAC Studio Fix Fluid - a delightful combo.
