There are some other makeup artist tips you can use. The reflection is either from sweat or oil. For oil, there are matting skin creams that inhibit sebum (oil) production to keep that matte complection. Dermilogica makes a good one. For sweat the solution is even easier. Get a gel non-scented anti-perspirant. Just a regular under-arm anti-perspirant that you get at the store and apply a little bit with a makeup sponge to the face. Both of these solutions should solve your problem without creating something that would be apparent in the photos.

Sage advice, Laura. How about the related problem of post-processing in Photoshop after you have taken the pic? I have tried the clone stamp tool and also the healing brush, but neither seems to work well for that shiny look of sweat on a nose or forehead (PS CS). Is there a simple way of flattening reflections in photoshop, that doesn't look so artificial?

Use polarizing filters over BOTH the light source and the camera lens. The filters on the lights must be cross-polarized (oriented at 90 degree angle)to the filter over the lens. Large polarizing sheets can be purchased for use at the light source.
