Question Posted Wednesday September 6 2006, 6:28 pm
I use Cover Girl TruBlendliquid foundation which works really good, but it doesn't last long. Half way through school, I look in the mirror and it's all un-even and splotchy looking. I also get very oily on my forehead, nose, and around my nose. I don't think I have an even skin tone either. So does anybody know a toner that will help my skin even out? And what is a long-lasting makeup that will last atleast 7 hours while I'm at school?
Skin tone is hard to even out. As for the "splotchy" look, it's hard to say what the cure is. If it's redness you may just need something with aloe vera in it. If it's acne, you need an acne remedy. Go to a makeup counter and ask them to help.
A really good foundation for oily skin is Prescriptives Virtual Matte Foundation. It is oil controlling, which is the keyword you need to look for in a foundation-You need something designed to resist breaking down when you start to get oily. An oil controlling moisturizer is also going to help you a lot.
Before you put on your foundation make sure your skin is really clean. Cleanse it well, apply an oil controlling moisturizer and wait until that moisturizer is completely dry before putting on your foundation. If there is any part of your face that is still damp the color in the foundation will grab onto it and get blotchy.
After your foundation is dry, use powder to set it, and carry a pressed powder compact with you to touch up with as needed.

Like I think dove has one out its like regular lotion but it says touch of sun or something like that. Im not exactly sure about it but my friend used it and said it worked..
im not sure about the last one but the first two im sure of the first one like 100% and the second one too.
and a really good foundation is the origins one. It is like 40 dollars but it is worth it.. it works really good and stays on long. well unless you like rub your face alot or sweat alot then no matter what it will come off eventually... but the origins one is really good.
heres the website for it so you know which one is really good.
