Question of the Week: Summer is here and the temperatures are rising. So tell us: what’s your current favorite product to help keep your makeup in place in warm weather?
Answer: I know many people love their primers, but I just haven’t found the perfect one for me. (I swear they make my skin oilier). My hunt continues for the perfect cruelty free option. Fow now, I mostly rely on the staying powers of my Manic Panic Vampyre’s Veil Pressed Powder (seen above with a few other Manic Panic goodies). I also always carry blotting papers to whisk away shine without disturbing makeup. My current faves are NYX’s Green Tea Blotting Papers.
