The Touchup: Blot and Brighten The reason your eyeliner moves two inches by lunchtime? According to Soliz, makeup has the tendency to oxidize, which means slipping and sliding as the day progresses. "To eliminate shine and remove excess oil opt for blotting paper instead of powder to refresh your complexion," says Soliz. "To give skin a quick pick-me-up, I recommend YSL's Touche Èclat, $40. It's an easy way to brighten underneath and around your eyes, especially when you're showing signs of fatigue."
