Hello friends,
Today we would be talking about how to make makeup last longer on oily skin. Women with oily are often faced with the problem of their makeup not lasting long. Due to excessive oil production on the face, the makeup melts down easily. The makeup does not stay for a long period of time which also results in clogged pores on the skin.
Although wearing makeup on oily skin can be a challenge sometimes but it truly does not mean that you can’t have fun with makeup. So, here are a few ways to make your makeup last on oily skin.
1. Using Primer:
Using primer is of utmost importance in order to make your makeup last longer. Using a primer not only helps to mattify your skin but it also makes your makeup last longer. It does not leave your skin with an unwanted shine or glossiness. Some ladies avoid using primers but if you have oily skin, you should consider taking this seriously. Use The Ordinary High-Adherence Silicone Primer or Tarte Clean Slate Timeless Smoothing Primer for best results.
2. Look For An Oil Free Foundation:
Not every foundation available in the market will suit your skin type. For those with oily skin should opt for using oil-free foundation as it is quite light on the skin. Using thicker foundations may give you a matte finish but oil-free foundations will leave you with a dewy complexion. An oil-free foundation will keep your face free from excessive oil and also prevent pore clogging. You can use Chambor Sheer Delight Ultra Matt Oil Free Foundation, Chantecaille Future Skin Oil Free Gel Foundation or Smashbox Oil-Free Photo Finish Foundation Primer for oily skin.
3. Cleanse Your Skin Properly:
Before applying your makeup, you should cleanse your skin thoroughly. Cleaning your skin with an oil-free cleanser will help to slough off the dead skin cells and also remove the dirt and excess oil from the skin. Both oil and dirt on the skin may clog the pores thus allowing your makeup to wash off soon. Not cleansing your skin can make your makeup look cakey. Use Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser or Beauty Formulas Oil-free Control Foaming Facial Cleanser for best use.
4. Always Keep Some Blotting Paper Handy:
If you apply makeup on your skin regularly, you should be using blotting paper. Always carry blotting paper in your purse, so that it can be used to remove the excess oil from the face. Keep blotting intermittently so that it removes the excess shine from the face. Instead of rubbing the blotting paper against the skin, press it gently and roll off. Blotting paper helps to remove the excess oil from the face easily thus making your makeup last longer. Use The Face Shop Oil Blotting Paper or Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Dear Brachiosaurus Blotting Paper on oily skin.
5. Use Loose Powder:
Before applying foundation on the face, you should be applying some loose powder. Applying loose powder will prep your skin properly thus allowing your makeup to last longer. The powder will help to fill the pores which prevent your oil production. Use Suqqu Frame Fix Liquid Foundation Lightness and Suqqu Nuancing Loose Powder Natural or Yves Saint Laurent Souffle D’Eclat Sheer and Radiant Loose Powder for best results.
6. Use A Mask:
Using a clay mask once in a week can help to make your makeup last longer. It preps your skin and also keeps the oil under control. You should be using face mask specially designed for oily skin so that it clears the pores and also keeps your skin supple. You should never leave your skin dehydrated, as dry skin may lead to the production of more oil on the face.
7. Do Not Exfoliate Daily:
You should not exfoliate your skin daily as it may worsen the condition. Exfoliating can open the pores thus allowing your skin to produce more oil on the face. Also exfoliating your skin everyday may harm your skin. So it is always good to wash your face with clean water and avoid using too much scrubs or exfoliating gloves.
8. Oil-free Moisturizer:
Always use an oil-free moisturizer in order to make your makeup last longer. It’s a common myth that oily skin does not need to be moisturized. But the fact is you should be using a lightweight and oil-free moisturizer in order to keep your skin hydrated. You should always choose a moisturizer which contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. You can use the Natio Daily Repair Oil-Free Moisturizer or Garnier Moisture+ Matte Daily Oil-Free Moisturizer
