Hi - I always open to suggestions. Thank you I will look into it.

Hi - Thanks for the input.I started using the Strawberry BHA Pore-Smooth Blur Drops. (An all-in-one, silicone-free primer & serum that visibly refines pores over time while immediately blurring the look of skin and absorbing oil for a natural, soft-focus, satin finish) It does help with absorbing oil for a natural look. Which I am liking a lot. When I went into the Sephora store I was looking for something to help with the oiliness of my skin and blurring of my pores, uneven tone, etc. I tried the Dr. Jart+ - Cicapair color treatment SPF 20. (which I was hesitant to start bcuz I typically don't wear foundation. I only use face creams then sunscreen)I did like how it calmed & evened out my skin and did help with the oiliness too. You might want to try it first. I almost bought the big size and when I got to the check out I found the mini size which was $21 and a little goes a long way. 🙂

@emanuelviraca Do you have a favourite oil or serum or are you looking for recommendations?

@Lucygirl212 - Teint Idole used to be my go-to until the company changed the formula a number of years ago. My foundation shade changed and no longer matched. I say give it a try! I would still be using it if I had a match. My primer at the time was Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Value Size - 2 oz/ 59 mL . For the past month or so, I've been using Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Universal . I use it under my foundation, and it's great at keeping my oil under control for most of the day. Either primer should work great!

@Skyyy1996 a lot of people swear by the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Foundation 310N as well as the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation 6W2 Nutmeg (sorry, I couldn't select the product without the shades attached).

thank you very much, do you use it? does it work well?

Thank you!! That really helps, I appreciate it 🙂

Till to this day I often wondered why I broke out so so bad with drunk elephant polypeptide cream and it’s been 4 years since the incident. With in hours my skin was doing something. At first I thought it was purging my skin but from research it was definitely a breakout, even my husband was concerned asking what happened to my beautiful skin. And when I showed him what I started using he said throw that stuff away. Lol so to fix what happened I literally washed my face 3-6 times a day with the purity philosophy face wash (yellow bottle) and I got my skin back after 2-3 days. I’ve been so scared to try any products that say peptide like collagen peptide powder. However I really hope it was that one ingredient (marula oil) indeed and nothing happens when I try collagen peptide powder.

@glittervibezz Layer upon layer of hydrating serums with pearlescence in them. A silicone based primer if you have any texture at all to smooth out even the tiniest pores. A sheer tinted moisturizer and then a liquid highlighter where ever you want to glow and not simply shine.
