Is your skin slicker than a skating rink? Does your face look like you've used vaseline as a facial moisturizer? Your pores making you look like you're sweating butter (giving butter face a new meaning)? Trust me I've got oily skin jokes for days . . . but the truth is I've been "blessed" with oily skin, and for those of you like me, know that you're not alone.
Though I love to shine bright like a diamond (literally and figuratively speaking), I prefer to keep the oil slicks at bay. I thought I'd share with you, some of the products I use and love for combatting the greasy. . .
Even with oily skin, I've learned that moisturizing is extremely important. After cleansing and toning, I make sure to moisturize. Used alone or under makeup, this moisturizer fails to disappoint. Not only does it keep me shine-free all day, but it also works as a sunscreen . . . badabababa I'm lovin' it!
After moisturizing and before foundation, I always use a primer. Trust me when I say that BECCA's Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector is AH-MAY-ZING! For a night on the town, I use this primer to keep my skin matte and looking flawless (like Beyonce of course). Yassss, now you know I love that!
For everyday wear, bareMinerals Prime Time is my go-to primer. Paired with my bareMinerals Matte Foundation with Broad Spectrum SPF 15, this light primer helps keep me matte for hours. FABULOUS!
Oily skin and makeup can be well . . . vewy scewy, but with Clinique's Stay-Matte makeup fear not! With this foundation I don't have to worry about breakouts and not only is it oil-free, but it keeps me oil-free for hours. Great for a night out or when I'm looking for a full-coverage look. FACE BEAT!
Last but not least is this little gem! I actually picked up this Matte Finish Spray as a last grab at my local Nordstrom Rack (also available at ULTA), and I love it! Not only is it affordable, but it keeps my makeup in place with you guessed it . . . a matte finish! Perfect for ALL THE TIME!
Last Words . . .
Stay beautiful and remember, you'll be thanking the powers that be for your oily skin when you're 80 with no wrinkles! But until then I hope this helps :)
