Master the Matte Finish

Matte makeup has been all over the runways and red carpet, leaving the shimmery look popular in years past in, well, the past. But this isn't your '80s pancake makeup or the kind of spackle that you'd see on a Broadway performer. This season, the matte look is all about getting a velvety-smooth finish that doesn't look heavy. Sound like a tall order?

Matte skin starts with a prepped base, and that starts with a good skin care routine.
If your skin tends to get oily during the day, use a gentle cleanser, toner and a water-based moisturizer. "Don't over-cleanse or exfoliate”
If you have dry skin, exfoliate three times a week to reveal smooth, radiant skin and following with a creamy cleanser and a rich moisturizer to help prevent flakes.
