Hi Karen!! What’s your recommendation for people with dry skin as far as primers and settings sprays or powders? I find that the ones I tried so far only work for a few hours and then it’s like my makeup is looking bland after. Which ya know ain’t cute. Thank you for all your help!

Hey Karen. Omg. I loveeeeeeee you. What do you suggest for under eye creasing?

[iluvsarahiiBene]

Hey @summah116 

A great eye cream something hydrating like Drunk elephant or Tarte, Nars Creamy Radiant conceler and Laura M setting powder

How long did it took you to get used to fake lashes? I am starting to get the hang of it, but it’s annoying sometimes 😅

What is your recommendation for a good primer that moisturizes but doesn't make me oily. I have tried Benefit; Mac; Smashbox, but they either make me dry or oily! Help please!

[iluvsarahiiBene]

hi @kamrip

 i would mix it up especially if you have combo skin. maybe add the POREfessional in the oily areas and MUFE hydrating primer on the cheeks.

Hi Karen!!! ❤️ I have a lot of problem with creasing on my laugh lines after a few hours with wearing foundation. I have tried setting it with Laura mercia powder but I feel I still get the creasing 😞

[iluvsarahiiBene]

Hi @norysland 

i would avoid appyingt too much foundation in there but instead pat some POREfessional primer in there and set with the powder. should do the trick!
