Summer temperatures being what they are, a shiny complexion may seem like an environmental inevitability. But rather than excusing yourself from an afternoon picnic or evening drinks to repeatedly powder your nose, forehead, and cheeks, consider using something less expected instead: According to makeup artist Daniel Martin, a layer of eye primer along the T-zone is just as adept, if not more, at camouflaging oil or sweat. “I discovered it on a whim when I didn’t have powder in my bag on a job, but I did have Cover FX Anti-Age Smoothing Eye Primer.” After applying it to the model’s forehead, he says, “the shine was gone. I’ve been using it ever since.”
The long-lasting formula magically erases pores without a silicone film (“it visibly tightens the skin”), or beading up like a powder, which is why he touts it as the perfect summer product “for when you don’t want to wear any makeup. It doesn’t look like anything.” If you do need more coverage, a layer of Dior’s 2-in-1 Prime and Conceal multitasking formula is another Martin favorite. “It’s like a concealer, powder, and primer in one. I use it [to hide] redness, large pores, and shine.” And, at approximately the size of a lipstick, taking it with you is really no sweat.
