Overcoming a Shiny face- Blotting Powder

It is often common to find our faces shinning excessively as a result of sweat when exposed to heat or sunlight at a point in time.
Applying foundation or powder to the face does not help to cover up the shine, as a matter of fact it only makes the face to sweat more as the pores of the face are clogged up reducing the air that circulates.
We notice that our powder/foundation disappears from the face after a while and we often think there's need to re-apply when all we see is just our shiny faces. The truth of the matter is that the powder is still very much on the face but less visible to the eyes when it has been covered by sweat. This can be proved by dabbing a white piece of tissue/facial cloth on the face - what we see is brown stains which is the powder!
The solution to keeping our powder in place and taking off the shines to reveal a flawless look is to us a blotting powder to finish up .
Blotting powder is good for taking off shine from the face and touching up at intervals especially for brides who may constantly be conscious of their looks all though the day.
Blotting powders have been created with vast of different skin tones in mind and are available at the major cosmetic boots in the store.
