Advantages: Gives a flawless finish, easily blends, affordable

Disadvantages: The price (£15) may put some off

Vie At Home (formally Virgin Vie Cosmetics, Virgin Vie At Home) One Step Face Base is an all in one powder foundation. Vie claim that one is sold every two minutes!! It is by far their best selling all in one foundation.

It is available in compact (£15) and refill £11.50). The compact case colour is seasonal, they have had red and gold in previous Christmases, but is generally a dark blue colour with a 'V' logo on the outer case and the classic Virgin 'V' logo on the powder foundation itself. I do not know whether they intend on changing the logo now that they are no longer part of the Virgin empire, since Branson sold the company. The lid of the compact holds a mirror and under the powder itself is a little stow for the face sponge which is provided with the compact only (not when you purchase a refill). The powder foundation whether in the original compact or as a refill is 12g.

I have been using this foundation for nearly 5 years since I first discovered what was then Virgin Vie Cosmetics. I have to say it is absolutely positively the best make-up product I have ever purchased and I will purchase nothing else (unless Vie fold and it goes out of production).

The foundation comes in 6 different shades; alabaster, ivory, soft beige, sable and honey. I sometimes use soft beige and sometime use ivory depending on the natural tan I may have at the time. On occasions I have actually mixed the two shades to get the perfect shade for me. The shades are so easily blendable, but they are lacking one for much darker skin (there are other products that would suit though).

The all in one foundation is extremely simple to apply, just sweep on to your face starting from the centre with stroke outwards, blending as you go. It never fails to give me a flawless complexion.

It lasts for hours and hours once applied and also the compact/ refill lasts for an age. I wore this make-up on my wedding day and only topped up twice during the day, which was from around 9am when it was first applied, until around 4am when I finally went to bed. During a working day I would not need to reapply.

If you haven't found your perfect foundation yet, give this a whirl, you will not be dissappointed

Summary: Everyone who wears make-up should try this
