It’s hard to get perfect make-up application if you’ve got oily bits on your face. Cosmetics applied to oily areas, like around the nose and eyes, tends to slide around and pool in creases. A good skin primer can help make-up and eye colour stay in place, and recently I’ve found facial blotting paper (or ‘shine control tissue’) helps too.
I bought the QVS blotting paper for under $10 (NZ) at a local pharmacy. I’ve been using it after moisturising and before applying foundation and eye shadow. It’s simple to use, just press lightly onto oily areas and the paper sucks up the oil slick.
