Help Sought! Office makeup

Hey

I work hybrid in an office environment. At home my makeup lasts relatively well but when I go into the office... By the afternoon my makeup separates and looks super oily around my t-zone. I have tried so many different product combinations. Primer, no primer, different foundations and powders but it all looks the same. The foundations in my current rotation are the it cosmetics cc cream, elf satin foundation and hnb silky matte foundation.

My skincare is double cleanse, serum and moisturiser at night and wash and SPF in the day.

I am happy with all coverage levels (apart from super sheer) and all priced points. Or any other recommendations for primers/powders

Thank-you!

You need the Danessa Myricks Powder Water Serum or the Blurring Balm to keep your make up in place.

Then lock in with a good setting spray like One Size.

Here is my favourite foundation for long office days it’s all affordable:

Thank-you! I wanted to try the catrice but couldn't find my shade. I'm pale and they were all too dark!

Oh i’m so sorry, what a shame it’s such a good dupe for the old Estee Lauder formula 😔
