Recently, one of our readers Mayra had a Beauty Expert question:
I am getting married this October in hot Mexico. I have acne prone, oily skin. What foundations do you recommend I purchase to wear for the big day? Any other makeup tips? Thank you!
Dear Mayra,
Summer makeup in general can be difficult to deal with– even for normal skin types. When dealing with oily skin and makeup that needs to wear all day, the first thing to do is properly prep your skin. Prepping your skin with an oil control moisturizer and a matte foundation primer will 
help your skin hold makeup all day with minimal touch-ups.
Check out these products:
1. First Apply:
Natural Born Cosmetics Anti Shine Serum
2. Then lay a foundation primer over:
Natural Born Cosmetics Foundation Primer

For foundation, try Makeup Forever’s HD Invisible Cover Foundation and Loose Powder. This foundation glides on seamlessly and has beautiful coverage that is virtually undetectable. Best part is that this product is formulated for hi-definition television and is built to withstand hot temps!
To maintain a matte skin finish throughout your day, touch-up using oil blot paper. Nurturing Force Continuous Roll Blotting Paper is great to remove oil from your skin rather than moving it around. Take a piece of the paper and press in areas that are shiny to remove oil.
Mayra, by properly prepping your skin for makeup your look will last through hot temp. Hugs, kisses, and congratulations!
Best Wishes!
Victoria (BBB’s Celebrity Makeup Artist)
