"Options for removing shine from your T-zone"

Good morning,
In the past couple weeks I have had several friends ask me how they get rid of the shine on their face? Therefore, with the hands on experience that I have and some minor research, check out my opinion and the link below to help you out with your T-zone shine problem. :)
I always tell my models you have two faces when it comes to the entertainment/fashion industry; everyday professional look and on the cat walk look. When you go to events you always need to wear a little more so if shows up on film but not blinding the camera with shine from your forehead etc. I have found that people with already natural flawless skin do well working with only concealer and a mineral powder foundation. Since you have naturally oily skin no need for a heavy tinted moisturizer. Use a very light oil-free face lotion.
This is a base so the makeup is applied evenly and light. Its very important to make sure the face is dry before applying any makeup. You may already use a lotion, I'm not sure. Another tip is clean your brushes on a regular basis. Everything you use them you are putting all the old oils back onto your face. Another problem I've seen with oily faces is the hair products being used so close to the face. Try to keep your canvas(your face :)) protected from any preventable contact with oils. If you do use liquid foundation... NEVER apply using your hands. Always use a sponge and throw them away daily. I would also recommend in quality applicators. Brushes from Sephora are awesome. One more great trick is to keep your eyeshadow vibrant and from sweating off by applying concealer to the lids before applying the color. If you really want the colors to pop use a black base all over the lid and then apply colors in pigments collections. Mac of course has a great variety. So, not really knowing what you're currently using that's all the tips I have lol. Let me know what you're using because if you're a fan of liquid base then a liquid moose might work as well for your skin type. I personally don't like heavy makeup but still want to achieve that flawless look for myself and my clients. Everyone has their preference so I'm here to help.

I was doing some research on how to block out shine and came across this. I forgot about the option to use the loose white powder that blocks shine as well. Anyway, check out the link below. There are more options you can try to help your t-zone! Hope you find something that works better!
