Is there anything more upsetting than realising that the make-up you carefully applied in the morning has all but disappeared by midday? Second to that is finding that your shine-free finish foundation has turned into an oil slick, leaving you scrambling for a pressed powder to combat the sheen. As an oily-skinned girl, I’ve been there, and I feel your pain.
Over the years, I’ve tried many things to combat this, from matte foundations to heavy-duty powders. I even once went through a phase of sweeping Milk of Magnesia across my face because I read it helped to minimise oil production (it did not, and this is not something I’d recommend, FYI). Yet, there is one product I’ve found that has done wonders for not only keeping my complexion shine-free all day, but also improving the way my makeup applies and feels on my skin. My secret weapon? A great silicone-based primer.
