Ah the great British Weather! The last
couple of weeks have been completely boiling in the UK, with temperatures
reaching 30 degrees! Now whilst I absolutely love the warmth of the sun dancing
across my skin, sadly my makeup does not! And I have been forced to bring out
all the big guns for fear of my makeup (on days when I wear it) sliding off my
face.
Enter in my current oil control hero in the
form of Fashion Fair Oil Control Pressed Powder in Sugar – A bit of a mouthful,
but all is forgiven due to its efficiency.
Described as
“A translucent silky, pressed setting
powder that is oil – absorbent and eliminates shine”
I love the packaging; its design is sleek
and discreet enough to happily touch up on the go, even on the tube!
I decided to try it out during one of the
hottest weeks of the year so far and did the test using my normal moisturiser
(not oil free) and minus a primer, just to see how it would perform.
The results? It really does what it says on
the tin
It mattifies and controls my shine throughout
the day without leaving me looking grey or like I’m applying for a role in a
Marie Antoinette film.
