MAKEUP TIPS FOR OILY SKIN

Oily skin can be very tricky when it comes to makeup, from knowing fully well that you can not use just any products you see in the market to know how to apply the right products so they sit well in the skin without looking messed up. Some people who don’t know better wish they had oily skin because of the everyday shiny nature of the skin by people who have oily skin. Be careful what you wish for, you really don’t know what these people go through. The truth is any other skin type is way better than an oily skin. Most people who have oily skin can attest to the fact that when makeup isn’t applied properly, then it doesn’t last hence, makeup on oily skin have very short stay before it looks messy. But there are tricks to apply if you have an  oily skin.
• Regular exfoliation : if so many people fail to realize the importance of exfoliating, those with oil skin should not ignore this. In fact, the general rule of thumb, is exfoliate once a week but for those with oily skin, it advisable to exfoliate three times a week. Even those this does not get rid of the oils in the skin. It greatly reduces it. So regularly getting rid of dead skin cells which exfoliation is all about will help make the makeup sit well on your skin and last longer when compared to some other person who has oily skin but doesn’t exfoliate.
• Regular moisturizing: I understand why you might want to skip using moisturizer because of fear of accumulating more oils to the skin. But the truth is, moisturizer will not add more oil to what your skin is already producing. Hence, you need to moisturize and hydrate your skin so the makeup application will be smooth and even thus creating a more natural look.
• Finding the right makeup product: So yeah you have cleansed your skin and moisturized making sure it’s hydrated. The next step is finding and using the right products that will make the makeup look even and natural and elegant. Products that are known to be labeled matte tend to make for a right choice when it comes to those looking for the right products for an oily skin. If it isn’t labeled matte, it could be labeled something along the lines of long lasting wear. When it comes to foundation or concealers, the liquid matte products tend to perform the best hence should be a number one choice to consider to deliver a seamless look. Which implies that creamy makeup products is a no-no for anyone with an oily skin. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTqc_7aN6QHEjYM5x6_LvaTc5b5LFz01ooB6S3HdL3__klhoDZJ
• Setting the makeup look with powder: one thing you should never forget to do is setting up your makeup with powder. This important application step is needed right after applying all the liquid foundation and/or concealer etc. This step can also be done during midday to keep the overall makeup look in check. You should note that this does not mean applying the whole make up all over again. So, skip the foundation and only touch up with your powder. The right powder for oily skin is the loose powder this helps to keep every other makeup in place by locking up the pores on the skin thereby reducing and controlling the amount of oil from ruining the whole makeup. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQ3AC2h1pdqS6iZCnyrd3Qns2pMI9kzH8mwhz9sJwHao3w2A0aC
• Remember to prime your lids: After applying makeup in the right order and way following the tips given above, sometimes or should I say most times during the day, your oily eyelids most likely will start falling apart getting the best of your eye makeup but this is very much avoidable if you use a proper makeup product for prepping. Prepping with the right eye primer also locks the eye makeup putting it in place thus absorbing the oil on the face that would have either led to smudging or creasing or even sometimes fading. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flookaside.fbsbx.com%2Flookaside%2Fcrawler%2Fmedia%2F%3Fmedia_id%3D10156701013095569&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpharmaca%2Fphotos%2Fstep-1-prime-your-lids-and-set-with-the-lightest-shade-from-the-misty-blue-eye-s%2F10156701013095569%2F&tbnid=TpwatLMxIn_EZM&vet=1&docid=MOPQj16DqAQX6M&w=350&h=239&client=ucweb-b&ved=2ahUKEwj_u6ym7KzhAhUS4BoKHVBzDigQMygEegUIARCWAQ
