People with oily skin encounter many problems when it comes to makeup. Makeup on oily skin fades and melts away easily. It oxidizes too soon and causes many other problems, such as clogging of pores, etc. Just because you have oily skin does not mean you have to miss makeup. It’s a matter of knowing certain tips, tricks, and tools that work for an oily complexion.
Always Prime Your Skin First:
If you have oily skin, apply makeup primer after you’ve cleaned your face but before you put on foundation, powder, or other makeup. Using a makeup primer not only helps in better application of makeup by working as a base but also works as a shielding layer between makeup and your skin, deterring the makeup from clogging the pores. It also ensures that your makeup stays put and lasts longer.
At least one should prime the oiliest areas, such as T-Zone (forehead, nose, and chin).
Tips For Selecting Best Face Primer For Oily Skin:
Look out for a face primer, which is:
(i) oil-free and anti-shine;
(ii) not a silicon-based as oily skin tends to be very sensitive and silicon-based products cause allergic reactions to such skin type, like leading to acne & pimples;
Prep Your Eyes:
To cut back on eye makeup creasing, avoid priming your eyelids, which many women with dark circles or redness are tempted to do. In its place, use a primer specifically meant for eyelids. This will establish a perfect base for eyeshadow and liner while soaking up oils during the day.
Foundation:
You need to take care while buying a foundation suitable for oily skin. Most foundations will fade or melt away easily and would need a constant touch up.
Tips For Selecting Best Foundation For Oily Skin
The best foundation for oily skin is a powder based foundation as this keeps away shine and does not feel heavy on the skin. And for those who like a liquid foundation, we recommend a water-based foundation or a mousse foundation that like the powder foundation works really well for oily skin. When buying a foundation, look for words like noncomedogenic and mattifying.
Face Powder:
Everyone with oily skin knows it’s key to keep powder with you at all times! It works to get rid of shine and sets the foundation to last longer. But don’t overdo it. Alternatively, you can just apply powder on areas that are shiny.
Tips For Selecting Best Powder For Oily Skin:
Use a matte translucent formula as it can get rid of shine on any skin tone. Although both loose powder and pressed powder work fine on oily skin, one should always go for using loose powder as it does what a face powder is supposed to do without making your face oily. On the other hand, press powder is very handy to carry anywhere and do fast touch-ups.
