I've seen mixed reviews on whether or not it's actually effective, but I have a bottle of foundation I wanted to see if I could make work. As much as I like the way my L'oreal True Match matches my skin color, it applies and wears like crap. When worn with primer and it's accompanying powder, it doesn't last long before making me incredibly shiny all over and starts to separate.
When I used it according to the Goss method, and with different powders, it actually worked! I got shiny in a normal amount of time, and it looked fine when I reapplied a bit of powder to dull the shine. Best of all, the foundation didn't separate. I'm eager to try this technique with different powders, and to use blotting paper to see if it can still retain coverage without more powder throughout the day.
The first photo below shows about 10 hours of wear with one powder touch-up midday. The second photo is the results of another powder touch-up just before taking the photo. Not bad!
