Mom here… One thing that always annoyed me is that I would get done with my makeup in the morning and by the time lunch came around it would either look cakey or look like I didn’t have any makeup on! I’ve got TWO easy (and cheap!) fixes for that! Use a setting powder and setting spray.
Setting your makeup with a powder is an important step in finishing your makeup. The powder creates a shield that keeps humidity, moisture, and pollution from making your makeup come off or look cakey.
For my setting powder, I use the Mary Kay Sheer Mineral Pressed Powder. I love it because it is feather light, it allows my true skin color to show through, it never shows shine - bottom line! It lasts! Get it online for $16 on Mary Kay's website: Click here to go to the Mary Kay website.

Important things to remember:
Don’t wipe or rub on your setting powder on your face – you’ll rub away your foundation.
Don’t tap it on your face. Too much powder gets transferred to your face giving an instant cake effect.
Do roll it on your face. Using a powder puff, start in one spot on your face and using a rocking motion roll the powder onto that area. Roll the powder all over your face. Don’t put too much, just a light covering will work. Lightly use your powder puff over your eyes before putting your eye makeup on. This works like a base for the eye makeup and mascara.
One last step in setting your makeup is to use a setting spray. Take an atomizer, fill with distilled water, hold 8-10 inches away from your face and lightly spray on your face. The small amount of the moisture gives your face an instant flawless appearance. My mom did this in 60s, I did this in the 80s, and my daughter does this now! Sephora (www.sephora.com) sells quite a few good atomizers for $6 - $10.
By the way, as much as I want to agree with you... CUPCAKES aren't a breakfast food.
Love,
Mom
