Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,
I wear foundation, but my nose is very shiny and I probably powder it every hour. Is there a face powder that lasts longer than an hour?
Signed,

Dear Shiny skin,
An effective product that is good for the oily areas of the face is L'Oreal Cashmere Perfect Powdercreme. The liquid turns into a matte powdery finish and face powder is not necessary.
Do not put any of your regular foundation on your nose. Instead apply L'Oreal's powdercreme. You might need to apply two coats of the powdercreme. A tiny bit goes a long way, so only use a pin head drop each time on your nose. Let it set a minute before applying the second coat. The product states that it lasts 12 hours, but it depends on the heat, humidity and what activity you're doing. But, you probably won't need to reapply any for several hours at least.
Unfortunately, the product does not contain any SPF (sun protection factor). So, use a moisturizer with sunscreen underneath your makeup.
