But what I’d describe as the worst foundation in the history of make-up just won’t let me go.

Here are three matt foundations I’d recommend over the Dream Matte Mousse:

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
