I used mineral foundation for about a year or so before I switched to conventional type – Shiseido. I need a heavier coverage for my acne blemishes now.

If your skin is dry and you’re using a powdered foundation, trying mixing the foundation in the palm of your hand with a dab of moisturizer. Then you can buff on any additional layers without caking. For oily skin, use a primer first – either silk powder or bentonite clay are excellent oil absorbers. The silk is transparent, so you can also use it for touchups during the day, if needed.

If you like sponges, but don’t like washing them, you might want to look at the Beauty Blender – it’s very washable (it doesn’t absorb makeup – it sits on the top), and dries quickly. It’s also designed to be washed, while most other sponges aren’t.

Robyn: Thanks for sharing your tips! I must keep a lookout for Beauty Blender. Don’t know if they have it here.
