10 amazing and useful makeup tips for oily skin

That no one can understand better than me

PS: I have an oily skin and that literally piss me off

Most people with oily skin face a lot of problems when it comes to makeup.

The makeup fades and melts off easily 

oxidises too soon and many other problems 

like clogs pores and they causes a number of other skin problems. 

Fortunately, now we have makeup for oily skin 

that not only prevents the shine but also helps in controlling oil. 

• Makeup Tips For Oily Skin 

• Prime Your Skin First 
• Find The Perfect Foundation 
• Use A Powder Every Time 
• Opt For Matte Blushes 
• Try Mineral Makeup 
• Less Is Always More
• Prep your eyes
• Choose An Oil-Free Makeup Remover
• Blotting Paper
• Long Lasting Makeup Products

#1. FIRST APPLY PRIMER TO YOUR SKIN
We all know that the primer not only helps in better application of makeup by acting as a base 
but also acts as a protective layer between your makeup and your skin, 
preventing the makeup from clogging the pores. 
It also ensures that your makeup lasts longer. 
When you are choosing a primer, make sure that it is 
not silicone-based as oily skin tends to be very sensitive and 
silicone-based products can cause allergic reactions to such skin, leading to breakouts. 
Also, look for a primer that has salicylic acid, which helps in fighting acne. 

Pro Tip: Use a toner to wipe your face 
as that would soak up the excess oil without stripping the skin of its essential oils. 
A great way to prevent excess oil on the skin is by using your primer over your foundation. 
Use the primer with your fingers and just dab it on the oily area and see the oil get absorbed quickly.

#2. CHOOSE THE CORRECT FOUNDATION
Finding a foundation for skin that is oily can be a little tricky. 
Most foundations melt off quickly and require constant touch ups. 
The easiest way to tackle this problem is to use a powder-based foundation. 
This minimises shine and does not feel heavy on the skin. 
If you wish to go for a liquid foundation, 
go for a water-based foundation or a mousse foundation in a matte finish. 
Apply a sheer layer on the oily areas and apply powder over those oily areas. 
Go for foundations that contain silica as it has oil controlling properties. 
Also, opt for products that are non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic.

#3. USE YOUR BFF PRESSED OR LOOSE POWDER
Most people get confused about whether to use loose powder or pressed powder. 
Even though both work on oily skin, 
one should always prefer using loose powder as this kind of powder soaks up more oil. 
A face powder is your best friend. 
It helps in getting rid of the shine and sets your foundation. 
Avoid using powders that provide shine/shimmer 
as that would make your face look more oily. 

Pro Tip: Use a blotting paper/blot film through the day 
to get rid of the excess oil as blot papers absorb the excess oil without disturbing the makeup.


#4. STOP ADDING A MATTE PRODUCTS  TO YOUR MAKEUP LIST
When you have an oily skin, you sparkle like a grease – ready to shine all the time. 
So, always try to go for a matte blush instead of one with shimmer. 
As makeup tends to melt easily on oily skin, powder 
but blush tends to last longer than the cream based ones.

Pro Tip: In case you want to apply a cream blush, 
make sure you set it properly by applying a translucent powder over it.

#5.  PICK MINERAL MAKEUP 
Mineral makeup is a big blessing for oily skin. 
Since they are made up of inorganic minerals and are oil-free, 
they prevent the growth of bacteria, making them the ideal makeup for oily skin. 
The main ingredients in any mineral makeup are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. 
Both of these act as natural sunscreens, saving you from applying that extra layer on your skin. 
Zinc is also known for being an antioxidant, thus preventing the makeup from oxidising and maintain it stay longer.

#6. APPLY THIS SAYING "Less is always more" TO YOUR MAKEUP 
Oily skin is not at all an ideal base to wear makeup, 
so if you end up putting multiple layers of makeup on your face, it is bound to melt or cake up. 
Try and apply minimum layers on your face. 
For example, you can easily minimise 
the amount of makeup you use by switching to a tinted moisturiser that contains SPF.

#7.  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 eye shadow and liner while soaking up oils during the day.

#8. OIL FREE MAKEUP REMOVER
Always keep in mind that it’s easier to apply makeup on any skin type if it’s cleaned properly. 
So always ensure that you clean your skin with an oil-free cleanser and toner before applying any makeup. 

#9. USE BLOTTING PAPERS
Even if your makeup looks faultless and matte in the morning, 
but if your skin tends to be oily then you will spot shine by midday. 
The solution is to use blotting sheets. 
Some types of blotting papers just lift the oil from your skin and others deposit a bit of powder to mop up the oil. 
The right technique of using blotting sheets without taking off all of your makeup is to press the sheet where the skin is oily and then roll it off your skin, 
instead of wiping oil from your skin. 

#10. BUY LONG LASTING WEAR
Both water and oil can do same things to your makeup. 
They can cause it to smear, smudge, or slip. 
So I recommend using eye products that are waterproof, water-resistant, or long-wear.
