Giving context/further explanation of something does not mean you’re justifying it. Settle down.

Try something like this: matte primer (try MUFE or Becca) then a translucent powder to set your makeup (Laura Mercier), and then spray with a matte setting spray (NYX or Urban Decay). That should keep the oil at bay!

There are awesome youtube videos - including reviews for drugstore dupes of the high price stuff. I’m 54 and just started doing the makeup thing for real. People are telling me I’m beautiful, which is really nice. My skin is dry so I can’t give you recommendations for a good mattyfing primer. I got some No Sebum…

I have the same problem trying to find a primer for my oily combo skin. Definitely ask for samples from Sephora, they are always willing to help you choose the right products. I’ve had good luck with Make Up For Ever Mattifying Primer, and Dr Brandt Pores No More. I have heard great things about NYX Angel Veil which…

I have the same skin type as you and I really like Skinfood Peach Sake Serum as a moisturizer/primer. It’s fairly inexpensive (<$20), dries matte and you can get it at Ulta or in Amazon.

Oof, nothing breaks me out like primer. I steer clear of it unless I’m going to an *event*. Moisturizer, though, I love. My favorite basic moisturizers are the Acure daily facial cream for a drugstore / clean beauty option, Aveda Botanical Kinetics for something nicer and a bit heavier, and Glossier Priming…

I have combination skin so tend to use primers for that. Moisturizer the are water and not oiled based. But that doesn’t help without a good blotting paper midday, those are amazing and inexpensive

Isn’t it amazing the difference that even just a dab of tinted moisturizer makes? Makeup is magic.

I recommend gong to Sephora and getting take-home samples of any primer you may be interested in (they’ll put some in a tiny little pot for you) and use a different one each day until you find something that works. Like I said, you may be best suited for something in the smashbox family—I used them for a while. I use t…

The Smashbox photo finish primer is pretty good. At the drugstore the Rimmel pro one is decent.

Yay beauty thread!

Mom needs a bunch of tests, because her doctor picked up a murmur.

Hi all! I created this burner to shamelessly brag about my personal life. It might get buried in the greys— oh well!

On the other hand, if he decided to report the abuse as a third party, it could have torpedoed her career just as quickly as if she reported it herself. Given that she chose to endure the abuse and get tenure before filing a complaint, I’m not convinced she would have thanked him. I think he’s doing the right thing…

Everything is terrible. I will welcome when climate change kills us and the cockroaches inherit the earth.

Ohhhh noooo. When you have a super pattable percussive butt... oh man... the joy of the pat pat patting that is soooo good. One of my dogs got them bey hips... so satisfying to pat. True story, last night my husband and I, both mid-sleep, woke up because we were both patting her butt and ended up patting each others…

Why would I want a fake cat without a head when I have a chihuahua and a sheepdog puppy? Both of whom have heads.

I can’t take credit for being this witty, but if the tenth movie isn’t called Fast 10: Your Seatbelts, that’s a real missed opportunity.

No amount of legislation will prevent a woman hellbent on getting her hands on an abortion from getting an abortion.
