What kind of make-up should I use?

Question

I'm 19 and a light-skinned black college student so I don't have all the time in the world to be blending my makeup in and I need something that will last all day. I don't have oily skin on a whole, just an oily T-zone. I live in Jamaica where the weather is hot and I have to walk on campus to and from my classes so I tend to sweat quite a bit. What's the best make-up to use to keep my skin fresh and flawless all day? Liquid foundation, loose powder, pressed powder, mousse or what? And how do I keep my eyeliner from running from my lower lids.

Answer 1

Arbonne sells this great product! it's called a Personalizer. it's a green compact that you can put on under your makeup if you want significant oil control, or you can put it on over your makeup throughout the day to help your makeup stay put all day and to cut down on your oil throughout the day. Arbonne's makeup is made without mineral oils and without animal products and bi-products. it not only feels great on your skin, but it is beneficial as well! checkout my website for more information and ways to purchase the products: http://home.comcast.net/~chrisandlisa/si...

Bareminerals foundation is one of the best. the colors match skin really well, and its really easy to apply as its a powder. get the foundation, all over color or blush, and mineral veil.  i wear it everyday, and it stays on until i have to wash it off. the coverage is good and it doesnt sweat off. i walk a lot and this summer it's been really hot, so my face has been more moist, but when i wipe my face, it's clean and the make up doesn't come off. the blush lasts all day. as for lower eyelid eyeliner, get one that is waterproof. i suggest mac. it doesn't smear and is great for the lower lashline. before you put on the eyeliner, put some sort of powder (try baby powder) on the lower lashline (NOT THE WATERLINE) to absorb some of the moisture, then apply the eyeliner.  i personally don't wear eyeliner on my lower lashline. but when i want to, i use a damp eyeliner brush and put eyeshadow instead. hope that helped.
