In an effort to control shine, women often touch up their makeup with pressed powder throughout the day. This powder mixed with the excess oils and sweat on the surface of the skin can result in a cakey mess. Choose a light translucent powder to mattify the skin instead of mineral or foundation powders that will add coverage.
I am obsessed with Laura Mercier Matte Shine Control Pressed Powder. This mattifying powder will not add coverage; it will just magically erase any sign of shine or oil on your skin. It will blur imperfections and the look of pores. I have one in my gym bag, in my car, and in all my bags. The sponge that comes with the product works nicely, but I often use my fingers in a pinch to press the powder lightly all over the face.
