Make-up is a girl’s best friend, but when you have oily skin, your best friend is nothing less than a battle. With the mercury rising, and keeping in mind Pakistan’s hot and humid summers, anyone who is brave enough to put on makeup is going to struggle, but what about those who already have enough oil on their skins to deal with? Absolute chaos!!
Fortunately, for those who have oily skins, we got your back on this one as we bring you the ultimate guide to the must have, oil-free make up products, giving you the absolute flawless oil-free look you desire.
First things first, the best way to combat oily skin is by using a primer, before applying any sort of makeup. For oily skin, The Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer is one of the best and most budget friendly products available in the market. It smoothens, blurs and absorbs any extra oil, giving a matte finished look. Other than this, Mac Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage is another good option, which is readily available all over Pakistan.
Now, the trickiest part of the whole oily skin make up routine is that you need the right kind of foundation. The wrong kind of foundation on oily skin looks unnatural and melts off immediately. For this, Revlon’s Colorstay Foundation will do wonders for you, because its lightweight, has full coverage properties and is perfect for oily skin types. For an even lighter, matte finished look, you can go for Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation. It is one of the best choices keeping in mind the scorching summers coming up ahead.
For those of you, who find foundations “heavy”, consider using compact or pressed powders. The best part about compact powders is that not only are they easy to use, but they also give off a light matte refreshed look (by occasional touch-ups of course). Neutrogena Healthy Skin Pressed Powder and Maybelline Dream Matte Pressed Powder are the best options, and not too heavy on your wallets too ladies!!
Lastly, after so many struggles with makeup and its application, it is HEARTBREAKING to see your make up just melt off in the hot summer sunshine. For this, the most intelligent thing to use is the makeup fixing spray. If you wish to lock up your make-up in one place, Urban Decay brings you De Slick Oil Control make up setting spray, which would give you a more hydrated and natural look (because no one wants the dead matte look).
So there you go, this is the end of a complete guide on the best oil free products available for you to apply, love and buy over and over again.
