Matte makeup tip!TODAY
  1. Go through your normal beauty routine of moisturizer, eye cream, concealer and foundation. Don't skip out on those important steps. You can always go for a mattifying moisturizer or foundation if you're worried about shine sneaking through.
  2. With a medium-to-large sized powder brush, apply mattifying powder to your cheeks and T-zone.
  3. Add mascara and perhaps a matte-finish lipstick and you'll be out the door looking shine free, yet still radiant!
