Benefit cosmetics make some awesome products, too - Boing! is the best concealer I have ever used!

Here is my top picks for no melt makeup.

Mascara - Kiss Me Mascara, hands down. I have tried everything and this is the only thing that doesnt melt off my lower lashes. I like to use different mascaras on my uppers because Kiss me doesnt quite give me the oomph I want. With Kiss Me on Bottom I can use just about any waterproof on top.

Foundation - Just about any Matte Mineral Foundation
Aromaleigh, Pure Luxe, Cory Cosmetics and Everyday Minerals are good ones I've tried. The new Physicians Formula mineral wear from the drugstore is good too.

Ultima II makes an eye primer called Crease Not that will keep eyeshadow from melting and doubles as a stay put under eye concealer

For Liner I like the fluidline ones from Mac but the best non-melting eyeliner for me is Milani eyeshadow (2.99 at Walgreens) applied with an eyeliner brush that's been wet with Visine. Other eyeshadows will work too, but Milani is my fav for liner.

I have oily skin as well and use Mary Kay. Haven't had a problem since.

Love it so much that I decided to become a consultant...totally worth it as it saves me so much money.

I am a Kiss Me fan too (from my posts) When I posted a link to blinc, I noticed that they now make a lash primer and an eyeliner. I think the primer will give the length and fullness thats needed without smudge/meltdown. take a look www.blincinc.com

I love the way Lancome Mascara looks the Defincils is a great product, unfortunately after an hour or so I get mascara meltdown.


I think I am going to Sephora today and give it a try.

I ahve oily skin too. I use Revlon Colorstay foundation. It's great for oily skin. The new kind (w/ the flex stuff) is not as good as the old formula, though.

A trick I read in the Don't Go to the Makeup Counter ... book for oily skin: before you put on your makeup, apply a very thin coating of Milk of Magnesia over your oiliest parts (forehead, nose, chin, cheeks). It absorbs the oil before it comes through your foundation. W/ the Colorstay foundation, I find I only need to do this during the hottest part of the summer, not year-round. The M of M also makes a good cleansing mask for oily skin.

Lisa,
M of M? I'll have to try that. I just got my AromaLeigh samples and just like all the other makeup I've tried, by the time I got to work, I was shiny. Of course, I live where there is 100% humidity. I'm definitly going to try the M of M. Thanks.

Milk of Magnesia actually works..thanks for the tip.

Where do you find Milk of Magnesia? And how do you put it on?

 

[J Lynn]

At the drug store in the Pharmacey section. It's for an upset stomach.

OK guys, let me tell you what I just discovered. A coworker gave me Arbonne samples to try over the weekend...and...oh my gosh....my pores are disappering. My face actually looks airbrushed. Even my drug store makeup goes on better. If you've never heard of Arbonne, they have a website or you need to find an independent consultant in your area. They have skin care, haircare, makeup, diet drinks, vitamins....all natural stuff. If you have problem skin like me....this is a must try. A consultant should have full size samples of their skin care line to try. It's definitley worth the try! And to think, these guys have been around since the 70's...never heard of them.
