I have not found that to be a problem with either the Cover Girl or the Revlon if you apply it sparingly. However, I do remove it after I eat a meal and reapply.

I hate the dewey foundations as they look oily to me. The problem with matte, though, is that it will accentuate any fine lines that you have.

There are some tinted moisturizers with SPF that are good for those who don't want to use foundation.

Check out the mineral make-ups if you are into natural ingredients. Jane Iredale has a nice line, but if you need more coverage, it is not the best. Mineral make-up is also good for those with rosacea.

Be careful, though, almost lost an eye with one of those.
Eyelash curlers are great, too.

Eyebrows are the key to looking polished. Without doing something to your eyebrows, you look unfinished.
