According to In Style Magazine,Courteney Cox Arquetteis a big fan of the matte look. During thesummer, I think we’re all fans!!Nothing’s worse than heavy make-up on a hot day (even powders!), but if you must wear it (weddings, etc.), oil-blotting sheets and pore minimizers can be your best friends!Try these out to combat the shine this summer!:

Clinique Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector ($16.50) – This comes in four different shadesand does a great job of keeping things where they are, even when you throw in humidity and sweat.Perfect!!

Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper ($16.50 for 100 sheets) — You can feel thesepaper-thin sheetsimmediately soaking up excess oil on your face, and the powder finish is so silky and smooth.There’s a cute little plastic carrying case too, which makes toting them around look kind of chic!

Neutrogena Shine Control Blotting Sheets ($7.05 for 60 sheets at Amazon) — These are remarkable at controlling shine andleaving your make-up undisturbed. They alsohave that same silky feelingto them,and theymake your skin feel pretty silky too!
