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. <font color="#990033"><strong>Robyn</strong>: Thanks for sharing your tips! I must keep a lookout for Beauty Blender. Don't know if they have it here.</font> 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.

It's part natural light since we have a sun roof. Everyone looks immaculate in the mirror, and hence dressing up in that bathroom would really boost one's confidence. Problem is, you're brought back to earth the moment you look at yourself in the mirror at work. :/ <font color="#990033"><strong>MisSmall</strong>: Ah, I know exactly what you mean.

I always go work with overly done blusher coz i thought it looked ok at home before i came out. and, i love to use spritz before i apply my powder foundation actually, the powder can settle better. <font color="#990033"><strong>prettybeautiful</strong>: I can't do without my spritz... ;)</font> i always have this problem too, i can’t apply powder or blusher nicely in dim lights.
