Absolutely agree.. I go with what I feel like wearing. Trends can't really dictate how you want to wear makeup...

Yes I tend to agree with this..... I've seen many people around wearing this trend, and it really seems to emphasize any acne, creasing, lines, etc in their skin - maybe it's heavy foundation that's the culprit and not necessarily the matte finish, but to my eye, the base they are using on their skin looks mask-like.

Do powders with spf really work? Don't you have to keep reapplying spf. Wouldn't that give you cake face. Plus would you really be able to put on enough to benefit from the spf without looking ridiculous.

I suggest a full brush to pick up a small amount of LOOSE powder if you're at home. Dust over face but by all means avoid area around eyes since powder settling into little lines is frightening. Use another big fluffy brush to REMOVE excess powder (remember to work it around jaw line down to neck). The biggest mistake I see is cakey residue so make sure you use a fine milled powder or solid that has a soft finish. Bare Minerals and Chanel are great and for no color I like Make Up Forever colorless HD powder...invisible but does the job.

i'm 40, with naturally dewy skin, but growing dryness on my cheekbones and some discoloration from sun damage. for the last few weeks, i've been using l'oreal MiracleBlur--it has a 30 SPF (broad spectrum), moisturizes, mattifies (!) and blurs out my itty bitty fine lines and discolorations. it's really all i need. check it out!!! something from the drugstore (fragrance-free) that, i think, addresses all the concerns readers have shared so far. it works for drier and oilier skins and gives a soft matte finish with no powder or color...

Totally agree.. I have oily skin and with the whole dewy complexion thing will A) not last long throughout the day and B) Can easily cross the line to greasy. A nice natural matte can easily be fixed and maintained whether its a night/day out, or a full day at work!

I've used the Stay-Matte Sheer pressed powder for years, it's really good. Doesn't irritate my hyper sensitive skin and lasts for pretty long with daily use (like 8 months maybe). And the compact is so pretty (and very retro, reminds me of my mom's make up in the early 90's).
