    At first this felt heavy and greasy on my face but it dries into a matte, weightless finish. On my combination skin, it controlled oil for about 3-4 hours. By the end of the day my face looked...

    A salesman at Sephora recommended this to me when I was trying some blush. He told me it would keep my foundation from going orange in the heat (I live in Phoenix) and that it would keep me nice &...

    I got the trial size of this at Sephora. In the humid, hot climate of Charleston, SC summers, your entire makeup will slide off your face and not last in that kind of weather. Tired of having my...

    This works great, especially under mineral powder foundation. It seems to fill in large pores and allows the foundation to smooth on over it. It kind of reminds me of the anti-frizz serum for hair...

    This is one of the best Primers I have ever used. I used to use Laura Mercier, but fully converted. This texture is much silkier and leaves a wonderful Matte finish. You almost don't need to follow...

    This is amazing! Makes skin feel like silk, and minimizes fine lines very well. I have quite a few frown lines, and have found this to be the only thing that works at 'decreasing' lines and...
