Oily skin can be considered both a gift from nature and a real punishment.
Its owners stay young longer without wrinkles, and their skin looks well-groomed.
However, applying makeup to a shiny surface requires real skill and knowledge of makeup artist secrets. Otherwise, the girl's appearance will leave much to be desired.
Makeup base
The use of a base is necessary for oily skin types. And the product should have a matting effect.
Makeup under this condition will remain perfect throughout the day. The base should not contain glycerin, oils or other intensively moisturizing components.
Giving up concealers
You can hide dark circles under your eyes with concealer. This is a real must-have for girls. But it is contraindicated for oily skin.
The point is in its creamy texture, which can roll off the sebum released during the day, taking with it eye shadow, pencil and mascara.
Professionals recommend replacing it with a matte shadow base. Its texture is much lighter than concealer, so it can even smooth out fine wrinkles.
Face tone only when absolutely necessary
Oily skin does not tolerate layering. The less cosmetics, the lower the chance of ruining the makeup. But if a foundation is necessary, it should be chosen from a specialized line and be lightweight.
It should be applied in a thin layer and exclusively with a brush, as a sponge gives a thicker layer of the product.
Dry textured shadows
Creamy eyeshadow bases are strictly prohibited. They can clog pores, highlight wrinkles, and crease.
Only dry shadows with a matte finish are ideal. Glitter, satin and other shiny textures do not look good on shiny skin.
Makeup artists recommend applying them with a brush, especially if there are wrinkles on the eyes. The applicator will not be able to work well into the hollows, so the makeup will not be perfect.
Apply powder in an extremely thin layer
Many women try to apply a thick layer of powder on oily skin in order to prevent shine, and this is a mistake.
First of all, it will create a mask-like appearance, which doesn't suit anyone. And most modern powders dry out the skin.
Oily skin will secrete even more sebum. Professionals choose translucent products and apply only to the T-zone in a thin layer.
Eye cosmetics with waterproof formulas
Not all eye cosmetics are suitable for those with skin that actively secretes sebum. Many products do not have a lasting effect and simply smear.
Therefore, experts recommend choosing waterproof formulations. They will definitely be able to withstand activity from morning to evening. And they can be washed off without problems with hydrophilic oil or micellar water.
Using Dry Blush
It is known that blush rejuvenates the face, adds zest and color to the image. However, in the case of oily skin type, this can only happen with the right choice of product texture.
The dry version in pressed format, unlike the cream one, remains on the skin longer and transfers sebum even in hot weather.
Opt for matte lipsticks
It is better not to use glossy and satin finishes of lipsticks and glosses when sebum is active. Even without them, the face often shines, attracting attention.
The image will be much more expensive and advantageous if you choose a matte lipstick. And if you still want to add a drop of shine, you can do this with a highlighter, applied in a thin line on the tick of the upper lip.
Taking into account the recommendations from professionals, you can achieve an ideal appearance even with an oily skin type. Correctly chosen textures are the key to successful makeup.
