Mattifying Lotion

If you read this post here, you know that I am constantly on the search for makeup and beauty products that keep my skin from looking too oily. Well I have found a product that I think is a keeper and it works wonderfully to combat shine.

My new fave beauty product is Matte Chance Mattifying Lotion by mark.

I use the lotion each morning before I apply my foundation and I have definitely seen a difference in the way my skin looks during the middle of the day. By using this lotion, I have found that I don't need to touch up my powder as often as when I don't wear it. I can certainly tell a difference when I don't use mattifying lotion. The lotion leaves my skin feeling super smooth, but with no grease or oily residue. Plus there is no shine!

One trick I learned is that I should let the lotion dry completely before I begin applying my makeup. So I usually apply the lotion as soon as I get out of the shower to allow it some time to soak into my skin and dry. Then I just go about my morning routine and apply my makeup as normal.

The bottle is so cute and upon first use, I was uncertain how to get any lotion to actually come out of the bottle. So I did a little searching on youtube and found this video (from another beauty lover who likes the product) and she demonstrated how to use the product and get the lotion to squirt out (squirt is such a funny word to me). Don't worry if yours doesn't squirt out, the cap does twist off.

So check out the avon site to find all of the mark products and if you have oily skin like me, I highly recommend this great lotion!
