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.

Clearskin Professional Deep Pore Cleansing ScrubStart 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.


Botanics 100% Organic Rosewater Toning Spritz 150ml
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...
Tone Correcting Powder
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!
