How is everyone? If you're in England, I hope you're enjoying the hot weather because I'm sure it won't last for long!
Today was like 25°C or more so it was quite hot compared to the weather we've had here in England for the past month or so. I had a BBQ to attend and wasn't too sure of what foundation to put on. My Estee Lauder
Double Wear Foundation has always been a bit too dark but it's becoming very noticeable now as my skin is getting lighter and looking healthier. As it was a hot day, I needed the lasting power of the DW (Double Wear) foundation but in a lighter shade so I mixed my DW 6N1 Truffle with my Face Atelier Ultra #10 Cocoa sample. If you look at the picture above, it's not the perfect match but it was manageable :)
I just wanted to show you how the two foundations look when mixed together. I must say, this combination lasted all day even through the heat! I'm actually wearing it now and it still looks perfect.
