Beauty Feature: Make-up Meltdown

Skip to All-Nighter review here

It’s one of the most frustrating things that can happen on a night out and we’ve all been there. You spend hours getting ready; moisturiser, primer, foundation, mascara, bronzer, blush, highlighter, the dreaded liquid eye-liner application. Eventually you’re preened to perfection and leave the house feeling your best. Two hours later you’re staring at your reflection in a bathroom somewhere wondering how long ago your eye-liner crumbled off, or whether anyone has noticed that smudged lipstick, the eyebrow that’s managed to get half way across your face or the foundation that’s somehow disappeared.

Who wants their night to be spoiled by constant mirror checks though? No-one! You envy those friends who manage to stay looking perfect the whole night… cue hunt for sixteen hour foundations, miracle primers, super waterproof eye-liners and desperately spraying your face with hairspray before the next night out.

I spent years trying nearly every primer – Smashbox, L’Oreal, No 7, Benefit – not to mention really trying to force myself to like Estee Lauder’s double wear foundation (It lasts all day and more… but you look like you’ve gone swimming in foundation, not to mention the dryness of your skin once you finally get it off).  Fear no more, here at FACE we’ve done the work for you: and we can’t believe we’re revealing our best-kept secret!

Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray has been a top beauty choice of mine for a while now, in fact, since before my switch to cruelty-free. I love this product and the fact that Urban Decay is a cruelty-free brand has now made it a firm favourite. Read the full review, with all the pros and cons to using this product below.
