One generously dabs matt powder on her forehead and nose: "Hardly left the house and I'm already shining like a yeast braid again." her friend is still fishing for the concealer. "Be glad it's just that, I'm getting pimples out of nowhere." "Oh, boo..." thinks the third. In this cold air, your skin feels ultra dry. Cream and facial spray are her constant companions.
