Wonderful, Affordable primer and powder for oily skin. REJOICE!

*Croons to Miguels adorn while holding a lighter, you gotta knowww, you gotta know that i adore you babyyyyy*

*insert high pitched yelp*

I don't know where to start with the greatness of these products. I just don't.
Fyrinnae Velvet Gel silica primer and finsihing powder oil control, are two of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

For some bizarre reason in the past few years after years of dry skin i know have oily skin. Skin so oily you could fry fish on  it. Skin that requires me to use blotting papers throught the day. Skin so slick i could get you out of jail. Thats how oily my skin is. Want to know how Jermiane Jackson gets his hair like that? Its my skin's oils.

Anyway after trying a few primers i was aghast. My skin would be oily an hour after applying makeup. So i decided to take a chance on Fyrinnae. Now i absolutely love their eyeshadows and their products are top notch. I generally love indie companies and their prices are fantastic, and quality on a par with( and many times better!) any department store brand. 'nuff said.


Now is my skin suddenly oil less. No way, its not a miracle cure. But it greatly decreases both my oily time and need to blot time.

The powder is great stuff. I was never a powder fan, but with this i realise what powder is made for. It gives a wonderful finish and just makes your skin look better. It likes some sort of vanity lighting. ( Once its on i peer into my mirror like Norma Desmond. Alright Mr DeMille, I'm ready for my close- up. Crazy eyes and all)

Its been at the bottom of my bag. Sorry about the dirt

I'm black and it doesn't leave a white cast( if it is you're using too much) and even if i overdo it with the powder it settles into my skin within minutes.

The Powder contains Zinc Oxide which is a great ingredient for sun protection. ( Click on individual pictures for full ingredients)

Seriously if you have oily skin, no matter your skintone, try this. Its affordable, its effective- why not?
