Marilyn Monroe used a blend of white powder and Vaseline to achieve the flawless base she is renowned for. Fortunately we can achieve the same effect and increase staying power by using a combination of foundation and concealer. Undemanding make-up such as this takes little effort to apply but the trick to replicating it is in the application!

Start by applying a medium to light sheer foundation with a sponge all over the face, including eyelids and lips. Blend the base into the neck and forehead to prevent obvious lines.
