Gordon Brown's make-up secrets have been revealed, after one of his aides left the documents in a taxi.
The sensitive documents are thought to include tips on how to apply make-up and how to get the perfect fake tan application.
According to The Sun, the file listed Brown's make-up routine with clear steps for him to follow, if he were to do it himself.
Among the tips were instructions how to apply concealer and foundation all over his face and ears, finally completing the routine with a touch of fake tan bronzer.
A Westminster insider told The Sun: "It’s an idiot’s guide to applying heavy make-up. It will cause deep embarrassment because the PM paints himself as a no-nonsense man’s man."
"The PM, like everyone on TV, is required to wear make-up," responded a No10 spokesman for Brown.
