Question
Hi,

I am 37 years old, I have a fair complexion.  I do not get blemishes but I do get oily skin at times around the nose area.  I don't yet have wrinkles, but do have the black circles under my eyes!  What kind of makeup is best for this skin type?  Is liquid foundation better or the powder that is a combo of foundation and powder?  I don't like anything that looks cakey.  I have larger pores on my nose and tried a foundation primer but have seen no difference in the appearance of my foundation and it does not last longer like it claims it will.  I would like my skin to have a matte look.  My nose seems to be the biggest issue.  What kinds of foundation and other products should I be using?

Answer
Hi Michelle-

I love Dior Nude skin foundation. The liquid is amazing because it is a hydro mineralized water base, 100% pure pigment which means no color change, and the more you wear it the better your skin gets! It also feels like your wearing nothing. Its converted me back to liquid. They also sell a mineral powder that you can layer on top for additional coverage or can wear alone. It is a lighter coverage where the liquid is a moderate. If you decide you do not like this try the Forever foundation by Dior it is a very matte finish and non transferable.

good Luck
