What makeup is good for people with oily skin?
For oily skin, definitely use something with a matte finish. If you have problems with acne, also make sure that the product is labeled “noncomedogenic” or “nonacnegenic” -products labeled “oil-free” don’t have oil but may have other pore-clogging ingredients.


Another makeup tip : If you are using a liquid foundation, also look into buying a powder to wear on top to help set your foundation, make it last, and cut down on oil. Loose powders are best pressed powders often contain waxes or oils used to press the powder into the compact, which in turn can clog your pores. If you want to use a traditional liquid foundation and powder, I would recommend Prescriptives they have a good color selection, and you can also pay extra to get makeup custom-mixed to match your skin exactly.

Come back for more tips and let me know how this one has work for you.

    I love these tips. Especially the one that says “products labeled ‘oil-free’ don’t have oil but may have other pore-clogging ingredients”. It shows we need to be more skeptical about companies and their products!

    I also have oily skin and use Milk of MAgnesia under my powder. It really helps prevent the oil from getting you shiny! lol
