- that promises to keep a face of makeup intact for 3 days, my colleagues were repulsed

It's the golden rule of skincare: never, ever go to bed without taking your makeup off.

But every once in a while, a little voice whispers in my ear: “It’s late. You’re tired. And besides, doesn’t Claudia Winkleman sleep in her makeup every night?”

But meet L’Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist, £9.99, which promises to seal your makeup in place for 36 hours. That’s right: three full days.

What better time to test this stuff than on New Year’s Eve, to see if it holds up and onto the annual limp back into work on 2 Jan?

New Year’s Day Even my foundation, concealer and blush are still holding up well, give or take the odd sunspot peeking through.

January 2nd The gold eyeshadow was clearly as reluctant as me to rejoin the rainy morning commute, as it’s mostly vanished into the night.

My workmates are impressed at the end result, if slightly repulsed by the means. With that caveat in place, I’m blown away by how well this setting spray works.
