Can the Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 Keep Oily Skin Shine-Free?

August 23, 2011 by Bun Bun 8 Comments

Many women think they are cursed with an oily T-zone, where oil glands work overtime at the forehead, nose and chin areas. Well, if they saw how soaked my blotting sheet is after a blotting session, they’d feel blessed that oiliness is concentrated only at their T-zone instead of the WHOLE FACE like mine.

I try as many methods and products possible (within reasonable budget and common sense, of course) to keep my face as shine-free as possible, at least for a good half of the day.

Mineral makeup worked up the oils on my skin within 2 hours and accentuated my pores, makeup face primers like the Stila Hydrating Primer turned me into an oil slick, liquid foundations that claim to give the ‘glowy finish’ usually give me the ‘greasy finish’ and sometimes even setting it with loose powder barely works.

Sigh, these are just fragments of an oily girl’s woes.

When I chanced upon a review on Youtube about the Murad Oil Control Mattifier SPF 15 being a great product that helps to keep shine away, I was immediately interested! Anything that controls oil!

5 Differences Between Silicone Face Primer, Lotion Face Primer, and Cream Face Primer

March 14, 2011 by Bun Bun 10 Comments

I  have extreeeemmely oily skin so without a primer my face would be all oily and gross like 2 hours after I’m done with my makeup. Before face primers, I had to blot twice a day. I know, I know, over-blotting actually induces the skin to produce more oil. But the amount of oil on my face could save the global crisis ! I swear you can see your reflection on my cheeks if I don’t blot mid-day.

And then I got introduced to the makeup world and *throws confetti into the air!* got to know about face primers!

The MAKE UP FOREVER HD Microperfecting Primer was reviewed on a popular Taiwanese variety show that invites makeup artists to share beauty and makeup tips with artistes. When the makeup artist applied it on one of the invited guests, her skin instantly went from dull to bright right after applying the Make Up For Ever – HD microperfecting primer #5.

I was like OMFGIHAVETOGETTHIS!

I would have glistening skin and my face would be so smooth flies could slide down. All my skin woes would be over and I could finally live happily ever after.
