Oily skin girls, you MUST try this!
I have discovered something AMAZING thanks to YouTube Goss...and it really works!
I find that it doesn't matter how much or how little foundation I apply, whether it be sheer or full coverage, it still breaks up on my skin within a few hours of wear...so this simple step has made my make up routine last all day with not one touch up!!
The key...apply powder before your foundation!
I know, I know this goes against everything we've ever been told, but trust me it will change your life.
Start off by doing your normal morning skin care routine. Recently I have been using Avon's Clear Skin Professional Deep Pore Cleansing Scrub and I LOVE IT! It contains both salicylic & glycolic acid which has transformed my skin.
I follow this with a few spritz of Boots Botanics 100% Organic Rosewater Toner which is amazing at removing the last traces of dirt & tighten pores. I suffer with quite enlarged pores & i find this diminishes the appearance of the fantastically!
Lastly, I apply a oil free moisturiser or mattifying lotion to help keep my oil at bay.
NOW FOR THE MAGIC...
I have been using the ELF Tone Correcting Powder as my base, however, and pressed or loose powder will do.
Apply a very fine dusting, just enough to lightly cover the skin and allow to rest for a few seconds.
The simply buff & blend in your foundation as you would do normally. Set again with a setting powder or the same powder you used previously and you are ready for a full days make up.
I have tried this technique with all types of foundation, coverage and consistencies and it has never failed me. It never looks cakey or heavy & just creates a long wearing base.
I hope you oily skin gals give it a try and even if you if you have other skin types, this will work too!
