hi...any suggestions for a nice and affordable primer?

[khymm]

^ if you can find Monistat Anti-chaffing powder relief gel nice na sha as primer mao na akong gamit pero lisod pangitaon kay available online lang costs php 500+ for the tube. Comparable ang result to Smashbox photofinish primer =)

question : What kind of makeup should i apply for my oily face? What products?

Use products na for oily skin jud sis and makatabang jud ang primer. AVoid moisturising foundations kay makasamot na. If you have the budget, invest jud ug nice na primer and foundation. Just drop by sa MAC Counter and look for me if you need help with the products na mabagay nimo *wink*

For oily skin ang nice na products kay MAC Studio Fix powder foundation (best seller), MAC BB cream (as primer), MAC Blot powder, MAC Skin Visage primer

hi everyone! i need advice from whoever has experienced this... i'm not a pro at makeup stuff and its been worse since nag start ko ug derma.

almost 1 year nako nag derma and i avoided (except eyeliner :P) kinds of makeup on my face for 4 months kai sensitive kaau akong skin.. now, maka uyon nako ug makeup over the creams/moisturizers/etc. from my derma.

now my problem is my make up doesn't "stick". i wear foundation but only if naai special event which is rare. so, powder ra gyud ako gamit. but now, dili na gyud mu stick ang powder. the last of my medication routine in the morning is moisturizer then sunblock. then i let it "sink in" for a few minutes, then powder dayun. but not even half an hour later, mu sinaw nsad akong nawng. i keep reapplying powder (once or twice within an hour) kai di gyud xa mu pilit but mu sinaw gyud akung nawng. if i feel like subra.an na ang powder sa aku nawng, i just end up pressing a towel to my face to get the oily look off nlng.

can anyone who experienced going to dermatologists please give me advice on how to apply my makeup?

I don't know how true ha pero someone told me nga di daw angayan mag-put og powder if oily imong skin ky it will trigger for more oil to come out daw. yes, ma "dry" siya when you apply pero later on, mo produce siya much oil mao ma oily samot.

Naa na for specific skin type (dry, normal, oily) ang cleanser, moisturizer, foundation, etc... oily sad ako skin. di ko hilig mo put anything pero I've tried sa Mary Kay, okay rmn. liquid foundation pa ako nasuwayan sa ila. I don't know if applicable sa ato ang creme-to-powder and mineral powder foundation. Better consult your derma or you can try trial and error/ product testing on your skin if makauyon.

For make-ups, mineral based daw for sensitive skin. mo pilit rmn after liquid foundation. if you use powder foundation, pwede ra i-damp ang sponge pra mo pilit jud. ako use ky di mineral based pero wa rmn ko nag-pimples. (pero na pimple below sako ilong which is di mabutangan og make-up. maybe, tungod rpud ni sa hormonal imbalance ky hapit na ang mens or due to stress).

which goes first? concealer or moisturizer?

Based sa akong nakit.an nga YouTube tutorials, moisturizer first, then foundation, then concealer. Ambot kaha kung korek ba ni.

@khymm -- what's the best makeup/foundation primer you've tried? Is smashbox worth the splurge?
