Korby's makeup troubleshooting tips
HM: My skin is excessively shiny. What can I do to prevent that?
KB: Use mattifying cream and blotting tissues. We use mattifying cream on models in the photo studio (Banner is a also a photographer) under the hot lights and their makeup stays on.
HM: What can I do to keep my eye shadow from creasing on my lids?
KB: Put a little bit of primer on your lids. You need just a micron of a dab. Apply it before the shadow and use good quality eye shadows. Try primers such as: Cover FX Skin Prep or Smashbox's Photo Finish. Apply it on lids and all over your face, under concealer.

HM: Lip gloss travels into -- and emphasizes -- the lines around my mouth. Do you have any tips for stay-put lip colour that's not drying?
KB: For moist and shiny lips that don't "move," take your liner and sketch an outline around your lips. Next, use the liner to feather in its colour onto your lips, then take a Q-tip and completely remove all of it and just leave a slight, residual tint of the colour. Then put on a topcoat sealer. The sealer looks like clear lip gloss and it "sets" the colour.
Korby's tip: If you want even more shine, take a little highlighter -- like a frosted highlighter that you'd normally use on your brow bone -- put it on your lip, before you put the gloss on, and then make the gloss look even more 3-D for that really pouty look.
When facing summer heat and humidity, you want to avoid makeup build-up. Keep your application light and aim for a dewy -- neither greasy nor chalky -- complexion. Use waterproof products to avoid smudges and to keep your makeup from fading, and keep those blotting tissues handy!
This summer, don't fear the sun's attack on your makeup. Armed with Banner's tips for meltproof makeup, you'll be ready to face the world with your mascara, lip colour and eye shadow intact.
Put these tips to good use with your sheer makeup for the season's hottest look.
