How To Apply Makeup For Oily Skin

   Just because you have an oily skin does'nt mean you have to forever forego makeup. It is a matter of knowing what works with your skin type. Here we are giving you 5 great ideas, solutions for wearing long lasting makeup for an oily skin

(1). Always prime your skin first: When you have an oily skin, using a makeup primer helps everything stay put, says los Angeles based makeup artist Emily Kate Warren. You should prime oilest zones I.e the T-zone: forehead, nose and Chin with a oil free, anti-shiner primer. Put it on after you've cleaned your face but before you put on foundation or other makeup.

(2). Don't overdo powder: It sounds like the right thing to do to pile on the face powder. But going overboard could backfire by making your pores push out more oil. If you do apply too much powder, dampen a makeup sponge and blot it over the powdered areas.

(3). Think soft skin not slick skin: Those heavy, anti-aging creams are fine for night time use, but before you put on your makeup, reach for a lighter moisturizer that hydrates without being greasy. Also don't forget your sunscreen look for an oil-free formula.

(4). Reduce excess oil: Once or twice a week, use a treatment mask. Those made with kaolin or bentonite clay are best for oily skin types, as they naturally absorb oil and impurities while calming irritation. Apply a quarter-sized amount for the mask with your fingers. Leave for 15-20 minutes then rinse with warm water.

(5). Go oil-free: Since your skin naturally produces more than enough oil invest in makeup products that contain little or no oil in the ingredient. You can request for a oil-free product at the nearest cosmetic store better still, you can request for a product review in the comment section.
