There is just one thing I have to say to Clean & Clear’s Advantage Oil Absorbing Collection, “Where have you been all summer?” I have suffered from some pretty serious oily skin this summer — not even my trusty oil-blotting papers were doing the trick. As soon as I stepped out of my house, walked to the train station and stood on the platform, my entire face was gleaming. Gross!

Enter Proactiv Oil …

Summer is officially here, ladies! And we don’t know about you, but we can already feel the displeasure of the summer heat: our makeup seems to be melting off right before our eyes! No need to panic, though. We were able to get in contact with celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey, who works with Katy Perry, and ask him how to keep our summer eye, lip and face makeup from making us all look like a hot mess (literally!). Read on to learn 10-steps on how to make that foundation …

As much as we all love applying makeup, sometimes we have to face those inconvenient touch-ups throughout the day — especially when it comes to our foundation. Whether it be an unsightly oil slick on our T-Zone, or the effects of wearing our face makeup for more than 12 hours, there has to be a way to set and forget our application, right? I was lucky enough to have celebrity and fashion makeup artist Brigitte Reiss-Andersen share with us a few tips on how to make our base makeup last, …

I have to first apologize as my after picture does not do these products justice. I have been addicted and obsessed with how little Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer it takes to create an even tone on my face for months. Tonight, I was introduced to their brand new miracle makeup item for oily skin: The Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation. Make sure to check out my Before/After photos of the primer and foundation below!

Over the years, I have tried a wide variety of daily moisturizers with an SPF of 15 or higher, from drugstore brands to higher end products. Though there have been some very good ones, they always seem to fall short of being the one I can’t live without. Aveeno’s Smart Essentials Daily Nourishing …
