Whats Under your Foundation Oily girl???

Whats under your make-up??

Hello dolls, I'm coming at you with a quick review on face primers!

I have oily skin and I think I have tried almost everything under the sun!

From putting milk of magnesium (this has worked for some but for me I looked like I was trying out for a mime play but decided last second to put my NC50 powder over it-not cute!) on my face, letting it dry then putting on my make up, to using Mac prep & Prime, to oilive oil (oh yes I did...), castor oil (tried this too), MAC oil control lotion, then finally MAC matte to finally Urban Decay's all night stay lotion. The only thing I have found that actually works is MAC Matte.

This is what I do in my foundation routine that has worked wonders for keeping that oil at bay!

1. Wash my face with a soup and rag to make sure all my make up and oil is removed
2. Pat my face dry and apply MAC Matte and smooth it evenly all over my face
3. Apply MAC concealor in NC50 and use either a buffer brush (99% of the time) or my fingers and smooth it all over my face with even circular motions.
4. Use my MAC 90 brush and apply MAC Mineralizer in Deep all over my face in a circular motion
5. Then set it all with MAC Finisher powerd (white poweder that dries clear and matt)

Et Voila! My face stays Matte for 60 % of the day, I do a quick brush over with my 90 brush either dry or with some MAC Mineralize then I'm good till home time at 5 pm.

This has been theonly thing that has helped keep my face Matte. I have tried everything else with this same routine and by 9 am I am shineier then a new penny! Not cute! Its my rule of thuumb to always look my best aka amazing at the oe office because I am my own brand! If you want to learn more about branding and how you can use it to your advantage check out my blog called Power of Femininity. The link is in my profile :)

The day MAC discontinues this product I will fall crying on my knees in frontof my make up table! LOL

Hope this helped you oily ladies out there!

Ciao bellas :)
