Yay!  I have been hired to travel with the SEC Network for all the college games this fall.  I'm just so thrilled!

I got the list of the on-air talent, and one of them includes a bald guy.  I typically use  MoM as a primer for those heavy lights, but my issue with it is that it turns white if not carefully blended. 
I will be doing four men and one woman every morning at 6am, and I want to be quick about makeup application, and therefore MoM makes me nervous.  (what if I miss a white streak?!  eep!)

Is there a surefire way to apply it?  I typically apply with a sponge, and blend quickly. 
I like it because I use Yaby cream foundations, and the Yaby looks great over it. 

Or would a different product be better? 

Has anyone tried these:  http://www.norcostco.com/hidefmattingspray.aspx

Thanks, y'all!

I have Nuturing Force's Blot Out Offensive in my kit. It is a primer, anti shine and moisturizer. Can be used alone or under makeup:

Jennifer I'm booked frequently for male grooming... URBAN DECAY De-Slick in a tube has been my go to for years... sadly they only have it in a spray now... my second choice is MAC Anti-shine Matte-ifying cream... it's a lit' more expensive than De-Slick however it is highly effective also...

Important Note: Have learned to not use scented product with males... they do not feel comfortable with the aforementioned...

Also I've been highly successful with airbrush for male grooming... seems guys are intrigued with anything mechanical...

Enjoy your gig... sounds like fun smile
