As well as being smooth, light and easy to apply, this protective foundation is enriched with anti-oxidants such as Vitamin E, Vitamin B3 and baicaline and helps to form a shield and defend skin from pollution. I apply SPF separately and only when I’m at the beach or outside for longer (more than 15-30 minutes) periods of time.

I have my eye on it but my local boots stand was really messed up and couldn’t seem to find my shade. Anyway, it’s a bloody great whack of sunscreen in both the Maybelline and the IT Cosmetics CC, if you apply enough of it.Makeup meets skincare with the NEW all-in-one protective foundation: Maybelline's first medium to full coverage foundation with a lightweight, barely there feel combined with SPF 50 broad spectrum physical sunscreen. It’s a beautiful base, but you’d be hard pressed (excuse the pun) to put enough on to get to half a teaspoon – you’d get repetitive strain injury! I have to say that the full coverage is not on the extreme end of the fullness scale – for example, you’d need to go in with a concealer to really get completely rid of spots or dark circles – but it’s definitely more than a medium.

I'm six weeks into my Invisalign treatment (read this if you need to catch up on why I'm doing it) and despite the experience being relatively drama-free, so far, I've realised this week that never in my entire life have I felt such a permanent sense of.

Skincare products take up so much room in a small suitcase that there’s no room left for any clothes. But here’s where things get slightly tricky, because for something to have its stated SPF you need to apply it in the recommended amounts and the amount you need for your face is loads.

Maybelline Dream Urban Cover Foundation 235 Almond provides light- to medium-coverage with an SPF 50. It has the opaqueness you’d perhaps expect from a product with SPF 50, yet it feels very fresh and light to apply and never looks claggy.

The kind of base that doesn’t sweat off, stops shine in its tracks and requires a brillo pad and Windolene to remove at the end of the day.
