Summer Perfect!
A lot of people have asked me… both male and female… on how to effectively keep their face matte all day long. My suggestion is Benefit Cosmetics Dr. Feelgood.
This balm is a mattifier, a primer that can go under or over makeup, an anti-oxidant that contains vitamin C, and best of all, although it is not the intended use… it fills in acne marks and scars and eventually makes them disappear due to the vitamin C. The vitamin C in this balm acts as a treatment for scars and enlarged pores! Talk about value in a can!
1) As a mattifier, apply this balm on your oily areas or the entire face. It will help keep you shine-free throughout the day until night. It is excellent for guys too!
A suggestion I came across from the manufacturer’s blog is to use this in conjunction with sunscreen. Summer is here and no one likes the look of sunscreen when applied to the face. It’s too shiny! Use this and it will look like you did not pile sunblock on your face. No gunky shine.
2) As a primer, it smoothens the face and fills in gaps in the skin giving your foundation a flawless finish. Eliminates foundation streaks since your face is smooth. It makes your makeup last longer and gives your face a comfortable feeling when applied.
3) Wear it over makeup to help keep your oiliest areas shine-free. Yes, over makeup. It is better to use this to blot out oil than re-applying powder over and over again because powder can build up, become un-even, and eventually cake or break apart when mixed with oil from your face.
4) As a makeup eraser. Accidental mascara dots or eyeliner overlaps can easily be erased by this hard-working, multi-tasking balm.
5) The manufacturer suggested that some women even use it to tame frizzies on their hair… I might try that some time. Feedback says it is not icky on the hair.
