Help! My makeup never stays on!

Unless you’ve got a personal makeup artist at hand, chances are, halfway through the day, your makeup looks less than amazing. Oils in the skin, temperature changes, stress, exercise and environmental factors can all cause makeup to slip and slide, resulting in an oily, faded mess. So with makeup melting weather upon us, it’s time to arm your handbag with some foolproof tools for keeping your face in place.

These nifty face-savers come in a slim, attractive compact that slips easily into the tiniest of clutches. When the shine factor hits, simply dab one over your face to absorb excess oil and re-mattify your look. With 100 in every pack, it will last you forever!

Skindinavia No More Shine Finishing Spray, $24.95
Loved by Hollywood celebs for good reason, this nifty spray can be applied either under or over makeup to control oil and set your look firmly in place. Simply hold 8 – 10 inches from the face and spray a couple of times.
