Oily Makeup

[makashaa]

Hey everyone looking for help! So I’d do my makeup in the mornings but within 4 hours I’ll be oily again. Can anyone drop some suggestions of primers? Skin care? Or anything to help

@makashaa I've always suffered from oily skin. I went into a Sephora, and asked for something (I can't even remember what) and she asked if I was using a face cream. I said no, I found most face creams just made my oily skin worse. She then explained to me that if your skin is dehydrated, it produces excess oil. I always thought there was no way my skin was dehydrated since there was so much oil! Anyways, long story short. I changed my skin care routine. Oil free face cleanser. Toner. & face cream! I also found using some of The Ordinary products helped, for a reasonable price!

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum 1 oz/ 30 mLthis one actually helps balance the excess sebum, and balance the oil. I swear by this product! (Especially for the price point!). I use this everyday after toning, before moisturizer.

OH WOW!!!! Thank you so much!! I never would have thought of producing more oils. That’s so weird. But I’m going to have to go and talk to a person in store and see what other suggestions! But I’ve heard a lot about the ordinary! Thanks!!

Hi @makashaa,

If you have oily skin, make sure you're using a foundation with a matte finish so you won't look greasy. My favorite is the GIORGIO ARMANI BEAUTY - Power Fabric Longwear High Cover Foundation SPF 25.

For extra matte staying power, I like setting my foundation with a matte powder on top. I really enjoy the SEPHORA COLLECTION Matte Perfection Powder Foundation 04 Porcelain Pink.

Stay Gorgeous,

Penelope

Thank you for this! I’m going to look into the powder as the foundation isn’t available.

You're welcome! I recommend looking into the foundation when it's back in stock. <333
