If I am going out and about or want to put a “full face” on I will use the above products. I have become a great fan of the Lookfabulousforever make-up range. It is specially formulated to suit older faces. I find that especially in this hot weather it stays in place, no disappearing, slipping or sliding. They have just introduced two new products Colour Balance Neutralisers. I find that the peach one is excellent for helping to cover dark under…
The heatwave in London continues without any sign of abating. The grass and flowers outside my window are looking parched and so is my skin.
