Basic Makeup Tips for Oily Skin

So there are 10 tips for you to help doing your makeup on oily skin and make you look so classy.

1.Ice cubes before makeup

Always use an ice cube before doing your makeup. As ice cubes will shrink the pores and make makeup smudge proof and also it make the application easy.

2.Cleanser 

Always use a mild and gel based cleanser for your skin. You can also use gram flour for washing your face. Harsh cleanser or cream based cleanser will increase the sebum and do harm to your skin. There should be no residue left on your face but you have to be gentle also. Cleansing is the first and important step before starting makeup.

3.Toner

Toner is must if you want less oil on your face. Always search for a toner which have tea tree or green tea as active ingredient as these two are good for the skin. Always use toner after cleansing your face than apply a good moisturizer.

4.Moisturizer

As a cleanser a mild and gel based moisturizer is a must have. Don’t trust the myth that if you have oily skin you don’t need a moisturizer. Moisturizer make a layer on your skin and help in dealing with large open pores. For this you can opt for aloe vera gel or cucumber gel. Always apply moisturizer after toner than go for primer.

5.Less is more

Always do less makeup as it will look good on oily skin. Lesser the amount, more prettier you will look. Use less foundation on face and just smudge it like a pro. So this will create a natural no makeup, makeup look.

6.Primer

Always use a primer first before applying the foundation as it will act like a shield between pores and foundation. If you don’t use a primer then the foundation will set in the pores and create more problems.

7.Concealer

Don’t use too much of concealer specially the liquid one as it may smudge after some time and make you look ugly. Always use a stick concealer and wait for it to settle down in your skin.

8.Tissues

Always carry some tissues with you as they are great helpers for oily skin people. They absorbs extra oil from your face and doesn’t ruin your makeup. Just dab tissue paper on your face but don’t rub it otherwise you will see some rashes.

9.Face powder

Always apply face powder after applying foundation and concealer as it will create a matte look and also it vanish the oil from your face for some time. Also carry a face compact or powder with you whenever you go out.

10.Everything Matte
