Foundations are a little bit like relationships…

You find ‘the one’ in your teens and you’re oh-so-happy for years.

At last, a make-up bag mate who just ‘gets’ your multiple skintones and those little patches of pigmentation perfectly. Yeah, sometimes you get a little bit bored and your eyes start to wonder as you find yourself asking ‘Is this as good as it gets?’ while you adulterous thoughts go through your mind as you browse through the beauty hall.

Then it happens. Something turns your head at work.

It’s shiny, it’s new and makes seductive suggestions about smoothing, softening and conditioning your skin. You flirt at lunchtime: just a little stripe on your jawline and your impressed. Before you know it you’re intrigued, you want to know more and you’ve taken to wearing it out and even introduced it to your friends. They’ve never seen your skin happier„”  they say ”You’re glowing like someone in love” they muse. ” It was meant to be” you reply and reassure yourself that all good things must come to an end as you guiltily bid farewell to your faithful friend.
