This week’s Beautiful Bonus comes from Emma, who wants to know the eternal question: how do you actually make foundation last?

This one is firmly in James’ lane. Oily skin, TV studio lights for up to 10 hours, doing his own makeup — and in his own words, “I’m a homosexual, so I’ve tried them all.”

He shares a tip straight from the West End (thank you Davina Devine), including a cult primer called Ciaiplw Face Lotion (yes, that’s how it’s spelled 😂), plus his exact skin-prep routine — starting with Sculpted Liquid Glow and Simple Hyaluronic… and then it gets golden.

If your makeup slides, splits, or disappears by lunch — this one’s for you. ✨
