The look: set only where you shine
A Full Moon in your house of public image points to being seen at work, and Mars arriving in your sign is read as practical, detailed action. Powdering the whole face flattens it; pressing a little only where oil shows keeps the cheeks and temples looking like skin, and lasts through the afternoon.
- Find where you actually shineMidday, by a window, with a tissue pressed on each area. Where it picks up oil is where powder goes.
- Tap off the excessLoad a small brush or puff, then tap it on the back of your hand. Most of the powder should stay there.
- Press, do not sweepPress and roll the puff on the sides of the nose, the chin and the centre of the forehead.
- Leave cheeks and temples aloneThey rarely shine, and they are what keeps the face from looking flat.
- Blot before you add moreLater in the day, blotting paper first. Powder on top of oil goes patchy.

Questions
What does Mars in Virgo mean for Virgo?
Mars moves into your 1st house on November 25, which astrology reads as energy for how you come across. In this column it sets a Work mood: precise, quick and finished.
Should Virgo use mattifying foundation instead?
Not for this look. Matte across the whole face flattens it. Pressing powder only where you shine keeps the rest of your skin looking like skin.
