After painstakingly applying our face every single day for approximately 135 years (ha!) you would think we were a seasoned pro at the whole make-up malarky by now. But no! Despite looking half decent before we leave the house, we still get a fright in the work loos at 11 am and wonder how our foundation has evaporated from our faces. WHERE DOES IT GO? WHY WON'T IT JUST SIT STILL?
Luckily for us, Love Island All Star winner, Molly Smith has shared her favourite hack for ensuring your make-up survives the day and it's a steal from Amazon Prime. Oh, hun, please do tell.
Speaking to her 1.6 million followers in a 'GRWM for Wimbledon' video, Molly shares her updated beauty routine and we are chuffed to see that it's packed full of affordable products from L'Oreal and Maybelline.
One recommendation, in particular, to get our ears waggling is the Maybelline Fit Me Powder in shade 'Translucent', £7 which the star uses to set her make-up and ensure it lasts 'all day long'.
Not only have we raved about the finishing powder in the past, but it also has an army of celebrity fans including Demi Jones and Love Island's Nicole Samuel, who is regularly spotted using the product in the villa.
Demi previously told heat, "Something I take everywhere with me is the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Powder, £6. It’s a translucent powder and it's amazing. It comes with a mirror and its own powder puff as well, I always take that everywhere with me."
Hailed as a 'real-life filter', TikTok is awash with beauty fans sharing their love for the budget finishing powder and how it blends seamlessly into the skin.
TikToker @_neekamakeup shared a video of her applying the Maybelline Fit Me Powder whilst telling fans to 'watch this powder make my pores disappear 👀'. Meanwhile, @kyleefleekmakeu called the powder 'legendary' and said in a chatty video, 'Can we not forget about this powder please, it's a game-changer.'
As well as #influencing us all to upgrade our setting powder, Molly also shared the products responsible for her Wimbledon-worthy base.
"For a super glowy base, I'm starting with the Maybelline Perfector and following it with the L'Oreal Plumping Tinted Serum. I wanted a bit of coverage whilst still keeping it light, so this was the perfect combo."
Molls then went in with L'Oreal's 24-hour Concealer to 'brighten up' her under eye and the high points of her face. We stan a budget queen.
