It’s the mirror you want to do the reflecting – not your face. Unfortunately for some, though, the shininess tends to creep in at the most inopportune moments, sabotaging their suave entrance and subsequently any photos they’re in.

If this sounds like you, a mattifying foundation might be of interest. Certain makeup formulas contain ingredients that soak up the oil on your face so you’re left with a smooth, sweat-free look all day.

HollywoodLife.com recommends supplementing concealer for foundation wherever you can – “concealers offer more coverage than foundation and you don’t have to put it all over your face! Less is always more!” the news source suggests. Other helpful fixes include powder and blotting papers, so be sure to have a few of these floating around in your purse for any high-profile events.

A specialized oil-controlling lotion may be an even better option for ladies who wish to preemptively strike against this unflattering nuisance. Jack Black All Day Oil-Control Lotion contains a formula that helps control sebum production while simultaneously working to improve the skin’s appearance, absorbing oil for a flawless, matte complexion.
