You may recall this unfortunate post, where I berated my very own shiny forehead.
And you may recall that my dear, loving, well-intentioned viewers left suggestions such as these as how to deal with the mirror above my eyes:
"I once had a beautiful table with a very high gloss finish...I sanded it down, and put a sealer on it. The sealer was optional to prevent moisture damage, something your forehead shouldn't have a problem with. But..I like your forehead just the way it is. Maybe bangs?"
Sand it down? Put a sealer on it? Bangs? Grandma J?!
"i recommend an oil free pressed powder. neutrogena makes a good one. seriously. if you get one of those little sponge applicators and barely put any powder on it people wouldn't even be able to tell you had any on...just a little powder to buffer the shine."
This sounds like it's two shakes shy of make up. But I did consider this, Natalie.
"One word my dear:
HATS."
HATS."
Katy, I hate hats. I feel silly in hats. I only wear a baseball cap when it is really sunny and I'm going to be outside for a while and I don't want to burn. And I hate every minute of it. So not HATS.
"Have you tried spackle??"
"Let Mama tell you what works: Smashbox anti-shine compact (semi-solid) followed by Bare Minerals powder foundation and mineral veil. As a bonus it has SPF 15 so your handsome forehead doesn't get skin cancer.
Don't even try to tell me you don't wear make-up either. I know all that handsome on you isn't natural."
You know I love MOM#1. And I thought about her suggestion for a while, until I saw the comment from my sister that threw me into an even deeper conundrum:
"You + Me = 'shiny happy people holding hands...' "

So you're saying all that handsome on you IS natural? Tres chic!
I didn't even know about that mattifying moisture. Something new for me to try. Yummy!
I am sincerely glad you are not wearing makeup. :)
And I totally would've suggested something similar to what you have... how did I miss that post?!
Hey! It was so much fun to be first to comment, that I thought I'd abuse the privilege and be second too! ;-)
Who would have thought that a moisturizer would eliminate the shiny forehead.
I agree...thank God you're not wearing make up.
Amen for the mositurizer! : )
I swear to God (I KNOW, you're agnostic, but whatever...) I came to say hello.
Hello.
I miss you.
And then I saw a sweet little bit of love with my name on it.
Aw.
But I swear to God (Are you there God? It's me, Shiny.) that I came to say hi.
Hi.
ok...i'm trying to figure out if you are embarrassed by my suggestion of make-up that you linked to some unknown place or if it was a mistake. and michel's link went into the oblivion as well.
my shiny face loves make-up. most of the time!
OMG, some of the suggestions you got were just hysterical. Yeah, like you're going to put on bare mineral foundation with a coat of veil to give you that glowy look. Heeheehee
If this stuff really works, why didn't you show us a picture of your new, non-shiny noggin?
Justine :o )
I know this won't keep you down... you'll find a way to shine again.
::sending good thoughts:::
:-D
I dunno Jason, be careful.
I once shaved my beard and the kids freaked out.
I once lost my glasses and the kids freaked out.
This might be too much for your students. You might have to take it in stages. =)
Isn't it the best feeling ever to find a solution to your problems...without surgery or murder????
Congrats on marrying a genius.
My apologies to Natalie and Michel. I linked all of these from memory, which doesn't seem to be serving me too well! I will go back and fix those links right now.
That Giancarlo is a KEEPER. Super shiny skin saver!
But I still say you'd look cute in a hat. How about a straw panama one?
Giancarlo is a GENIUS!
I think that might be make-up!
I'm glad you took my advice! That moisturizer looks great. It will keep your face shine free while keeping the lice away! If you didn't know, Tea Tree Oil gets rid of lice. I know from experience that Tea Tree oil stinks so bad it makes your ears burn while gagging! Does your face now stink?
I want that.
awwwwww shiny foreheads are a bitch! people try to look at themselves at your expense all the time, pidgeons try to land on them, and bees try to pollinate them! i am glad you found a solution!
bwahahahahahahaha whatta wonderful husband you have!
c [lmao]
Would that *my* husband were so helpful in the personal hygiene arena! I do like those little blot strips though.
How nice of Giancarlo to come to the rescue. Glad you got your problem solved!
There is a way to get rid of the shiny forehead. Go to a wind tunnel. Make sure that there are 50 tons of sand in the tunnel with you there. No face shields, eye glasses are okay. Turn on wind the wind tunnel full thrust enough to call rolling blackouts. Run for 5 minutes at full throttle. Turn off machine, clean up blood, and allow scars to heal on forehead and other exposed areas. Wa La! No more shiny forehead, face, arms, legs....
Is this a California thing? I think northern foreheads are covered in ice, which is a different kind of shine....
Btw, had to move my blog, ran out of memory

Ahh, now what am I going to use as a mirror? Just kidding, I've never noticed a sheen on your forehead. But, it is a nice feeling to find a beauty, or in your case, a handsome product that actually works. Congrats! I hope they don't stop making it, too!
So even with the mirror on your forehead, JLo still didn't notice she had pepper teeth?
glad you worked it out but i have to declare that "mattifying" is not a word nor "mattify" and this makes me think that "huile d'arbre a the soin hydratant matifiant" has a word in there that's not a word too. of course nucular wasn't a word 9 years ago but it probably is now.
OMG this post totally cracked me up!!
And I'm with Justine - where's the picture of your newly non-shiny noggin?
:)
I personally don't see anything wrong with you wearing makeup. At least while they're filming the reality show on your street.
Mattifying, eh? Bossy thinks she needs to apply this to her life in general.
Brilliant solution. Simply brilliant!
"You + Me = 'shiny happy people holding hands...'"
That just cracked me right up. LOL
Hey, thanks for naming the miracle product. I've always been prone to oily skin and still get the shine, particularly in summer. Now, to check out the nearest Body Shop! :)
