There are many things in this world that can benefit from a bit of a shine: an engagement ring, your hair, and that beautiful pair of patented pumps you’ve been eyeing. But we all know that your face isn’t one of them.
I am one of those people who has been both blessed and cursed with oily skin. Blessed because it keeps fine lines away, cursed because I go through enough of those blue oil-absorbing sheets in a day to make a significant carbon footprint. Sorry, planet earth.
I’ve tried it all: oil-absorbing primers, setting powders, and lotions that promise to keep me matte, but I have to say thatEve Pearl’s Invisible Finish Powderless Powder surpasses them all.
Eve Pearl is a five-time Emmy award-winning makeup artist who has made it her passion to create face products that deliver exactly what they promise. This little compact is like an instant Photoshop blur tool. You can use your fingers, a face puff, or brush to gently spread this one shade-fits-all miracle on your skin. It looks like a firm primer while in the compact but goes on light. It also has Astaxanthin, a powerful anti-oxidant that has been proven (when taken orally) to make skin more supple and healthy.
Pros:
- Pores instantly look smaller
- Shine is kept at bay
- Need much less touch up throughout the day
- Does not create any color change to my usual foundation
- No break outs
- Silicone-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, petrolatum-free
- Makes skin feel silky smooth
Cons:
- I just wish there was more of this miracle product for the price. But in all fairness, I’ve been using it every day for over a week and have not made a dent.
If you’re like me and want to keep shine to a minimum, I highly recommend giving this product a try.
