It must be because you skipped a very important beauty step, which is finishing your makeup with a dusting of pressed powder to mattify your skin, blur lines and make your skin appear flawless and even.
Don’t worry, there are a lot of powders out there that won’t make you look like a Geisha. Choose one that is sheer, ultra-fine and can be reapplied throughout the day without looking cakey. On our top list:
Clinique Stay Matte Sheer Pressed Powder ($19)
Provides sheer cover, shine control and is great for acne-prone skin.
Make Up For Ever Velvet Finish Compact Powder ($29)
A long-lasting mattifying powder that’s perfect for oily and combination skin.
M.A.C. Select Sheer/Pressed Powder ($25)
Minimizes pores, creates matte skin that still looks fresh and glowing.
