One of the most annoying things about wearing make-up is the constant fear of leaving traces on someone or something. There are rumours that a piece of damp kitchen paper is the solution. Sounds too good to be true.

Make-up rubs off. Often even at the slightest touch. And sometimes, a mere hug is all it takes to tarnish a white T-shirt. After all, make-up is hardly ever «transferproof». Yet, this shortcoming is said to be easily fixed. Beauty gurus on social media swear by a trick that requires nothing more than loose powder, a piece of kitchen paper and some water. Find out if this is all it took to fix my make-up in the video above. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
