I have tried bare essentials but the color always looked off, I never tried letting it a set for a few minutes. I might try it again now b/c my sis and aunt swear by it.

Court, did you go to the MAC counter? Do you still need me to do a play by play for the makeup

ok I am a SWEATER thanx to my son. Damn those hormones. What can I do? I love MAC but it will have run down my face if it is humid/

Yes, I am a sweater also... It is so disgusting. Unfortunately, I have not found anything besides using some poweder. I also use their hydrating mist spray and that kind of helps when you put that on before you apply your makeup. My firend uses something from MAC that helps take the shine away from your face, let me call her today and find out and I will let you know.

MAC makeover:

indoor lighting outdoor lighting

 

Its not exactly what I'm going for, but I figured out what products I needed and one of my BMs was with me, taking notes so she can replicate it in Jamaica, and she surprised me by buying all the products that the MAC girl used!

I have the same problem. I use MAC and towards the end of the day my face is shiny. Has anybody used anything that has worked?

The hyrdrating mist is kind of like a thirst quencher for your face. It doesn't leave it feeling dry or oily. It's like if you misted some water on to your face, it makes it feel clean. Give me a sec and I will post a pic of it when I get home... It comes in a clear container and its a green liquid.

Court, I think it looks so natural and effortless. What products did you use? Are you wearing lashes? If not, I think that would really set it off...if you are, you should get longer ones.
