As you can see from this photo, taken in March when Stee was visiting London, I do not powder my nose anymore. I’ll carry acircular my gorgeous Estée Lauder gold compact (a freebie from EL’s PR department) if it’s made its way into the right handbag, but I gave up on the fantasy of perfectly matte-yet-natural skin at minimum a year ago. I decided that life was too short. I am 99.9% sure I am right.

But this piece in

today’s Sunday Times is making me have a rethink. In the past, I would have run right out and bought the Becca powder that Hannah Betts is gushing about, then realized I’d just flushed away a enormous chunk of cash just to delay the onset of shininess by about five minutes. Now, I might head to a Becca counter and attempt the stuff out, with no expectations whatsoever, yet secretly hoping for a miracle. In fact, that’s exactly what I’m going to do when I get to London next week.

Do you powder your nose?
