I Never Liked Matte Foundations, Until I Tried This
Anastasia Beverly Hills, known for its Dipbrow Pomade, contour creams, and classic eyeshadow palettes that once broke the internet (who didn't fall in love with that Soft Glam palette?), now has a new foundation that's joined the extensive roster of products. The Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation is advertised as 'second skin', which already makes me think I'm going to love it, but I wanted to get my hands on it and see if it really lives up to such a reputation. 1.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second Skin Matte Foundation
Described as a hydrating velvet-matte base, I have to tell you that this foundation lives up to the hype – and then some. From the first pump, you can feel that luxe, whipped texture, delivering the kind of high coverage that laughs in the face of late nights and breakouts. Despite the full coverage, it still feels like skin, thanks to hyaluronic acid, which keeps things bouncy and smooth for up to 12 hours. The blurring effect? Genuinely impressive. It melts into the skin, giving a soft-focus effect to fine lines and pores without a hint of cakiness. With 25 inclusive shades and a formula gentle enough for even dry or sensitive skin types, it's the kind of foundation that makes you wonder why you ever settled for less.
It's safe to say, this new launch has found a permanent spot in my make-up routine. Gone are the days of unflattering and patchy formulas - this new foundation deserves a place in your beauty cupboard, especially if you love a flawless finish that will not budge.

Just last month, Danny, 39, also uploaded the first picture of his partner to social media since his kiss scandal broke. Mum-of-one Georgia, 38, has endured a tough year sparked by Danny's drunken kiss with I'm A Celeb co-star Maura Higgins at a BRITs after-party, which The Sun was first to reveal in March. The incident plunged their marriage into crisis and the podcast host was reportedly "furious" at the way the Star Girl singer handled the aftermath of the debacle. Now they have put on a united front at the Wonderwall hitmakers' comeback show. An image posted to Danny's Instagram Stories showed the couple, who share son Cooper, flashing a loving look at each other after Oasis' mammoth setlist. They looked adoringly at each other in the black and white image, with Danny's parent in between them. The McFly boyband star wrote in his caption: "Oasis day one that was f***ing incredible." On her page, mum of one Georgia posted a snapshot of her Adidas outfit, with red shorts and a white top. At the gig, Oasis paid an emotional tribute to rocker Ozzy Osbourne who passed away this week, aged 76. Danny Jones' wife Georgia breaks down in tears live on This Morning saying 'I felt like a failure' PRESSING AHEAD Georgia's heart-warming upload came after a rough few months for the influencer and her family. Pals previously said she was keen to press ahead with her career and did not want to be "seen as a victim" after Danny's kiss was exposed. An insider said: 'Georgia has her head back in work and this year is already shaping up to be very exciting. 'She has got a fresh deal with Omaze to record social media ads. McFly's Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley - Love Story MCFLY singer Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley's romance is at the centre of attention after his drunken kiss with Love Island alum Maura Higgins. Yet when did they meet? Danny began a relationship with model Georgia back in 2010. He had been going out with his now-wife for four years when he proposed to her in Cyprus in 2013. They married the following August in her hometown of Malton, North Yorks, in a ceremony which featured musical performances by McBusted and Ellie Goulding. Danny and Georgia welcomed a baby boy called Cooper Alf Jones on January 27, 2018. 'Georgia is refusing to be seen as a victim and after everything that happened she wants to crack on and get back out there. 'She has already done some filming for them and couldn't be more excited about what doors this job could open.' Previously, The Sun was first to report a huge reality TV series was eyeing up Georgia after Danny's drunken kiss. DANNY'S APOLOGY The boyband star previously made a public apology to his wife following the kiss. In a statement online, he said: 'Hello everyone. Sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. "I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. "I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately. Danny continued: "I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding and support. "See you all soon, Danny." 6 Manchester rockers Oasis played Wembley stadium in their first reunion gig in London on Friday Credit: SWNS 6 Georgia has vowed not to be seen as a 'victim' during the past few months Credit: Getty - Contributor

Danny Jones and wife Georgia enjoy Oasis date night as they move on from Maura Higgins kiss
McFly star Danny Jones and his wife of almost 11 years, Georgia, went to see Oasis as they get their marriage back on track following his drunken kiss with Love Island's Maura Higgins McFly's Danny Jones seems to be back on track with his wife Georgia Horsley after the couple's 11-year marriage was rocked by Danny's drunken kiss with I'm A Celebrity co-star Maura Higgins. The couple were all smiles as they attended the first of seven Wembley gigs for the Oasis reunion tour. Mum-of-one Georgia, 38, could be seen in a black and white photo posted on her husband's Instagram Story, which showed her beaming as they made their way from Wembley Stadium. Danny was looking over at her as they shared a laugh between them, showing they've put their rocky patch behind them and have moved on. They were joined by Danny's mum Kathy, who walked in between the pair in the candid snap. It's been a tough year for the couple, with the news of Danny's drunken BRITS kiss with Love Islander Maura sending shockwaves earlier this year. Danny, 39, shares seven-year-old son Cooper with his wife, who he married in 2014. The singer and reality star eventually apologised for the incident, with Georgia temporarily moving out of the family home. But lucky for Danny, it appears Georgia was willing to give their marriage another try, although the pair lay low on social media since the video surfaced in March this year. They appeared on Instagram together earlier this week, in a family photo taken in the garden. Podcast host Georgia shared the photo, writing: "And then there were 17... My family are dotted all over the world so getting all of us together at once is near on impossible which makes days like this even more special. "Cousins, aunties, uncles, parents, husbands, wives, kids… my house was full and my heart happy. Missed you Si." Danny's grovelling apology to his wife was issued two weeks after the clip of him and Maura cosying up at a party after the BRITs went viral. He apologised to his family for his behaviour, writing: "Hello everyone, sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. "I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately." After taking a break from Danny, Georgia got back to work on the podcast she hosts, alongside Tom Parker's widow, Kelsey. Despite public sympathy for Georgia's situation, the former Miss England winner refused to be "seen as a victim." A source told The Sun: "Georgia has her head back in work and this year is already shaping up to be very exciting. She has got a fresh deal with Omaze to record social media ads. "Georgia is refusing to be seen as a victim and after everything that happened she wants to crack on and get back out there. She has already done some filming for them and couldn't be more excited about what doors this job could open." While Georgia and Danny work on their marriage, Maura has remained tight-lipped about the whole situation. A source told Closer earlier this year: "It's been a tough few weeks for Maura. She's mortified and would do anything to erase what happened. She was at complete rock bottom when it all came out. "At the same time, she feels like some of the backlash that's come her way is unjustified. She's saying that she refuses to be labelled as the villain or the sole reason that Danny's marriage is in bits. It just isn't fair for all the blame to be on her."
