Want that glowing skin for the 'look'? Here's what you need to do.
When the skin goes a bit too oilier than it should, it gets frustrating. While oily skin comes with some benefits like aging well, nourishing, it could be annoying that make-up will not usually be in place, it tends to wear out and how frustrating can constant reapplication of make-up be!
I have provided tips on oily skin fixes and i hope you love them:
1. Prep Your Skin
Use a primer to make for a smooth make-up application. A primer sets your make-up and will keep your face dry, helping your make-up stay in place all day or night
2. Mattify
Before applying a foundation, i suggest using a light moisturizing mattifying lotion, this would absorb the excess oil the skin produces which helps to keep you matte. it works well under the foundation and keeps too much oil mixing with your foundation. It is important though to choose a lightweight lotion that absorbs into the skin and not one that clogs it.
3. Blot Before Touch-Up
Someone with an oily skin should always carry a blotting paper, they help remove shine without actually cleaning off your make-up. You can then re-apply your make-up if you think you are not wearing enough afterwards. Use the blotting paper on your T-zone especially to absorb excess oil.
Re-apply make-up sparingly but never pile on over the shine/ when the skin is still oily.
4. Hydrate
Drink water as often as you can to keep your skin hydrated, if the skin is dehydrated, it produces more oil! Surprised? Us too. Make sure to drink at least your recommended eight glasses a day to stay hydrated. It is equally important to wear lightweight non greasy moisturizers; do not skip moisturizing.
As frustrating and high maintenance as oily skin can be, it almost never wrinkles, be glad you have it!
Thank you for this wonderful information

ReplyDeleteLiquid foundations are suitable to all skin types and if you have oily skin,it is better to go for Mary Kay Timewise matte liquid foundation which blots shine better than the normal oil free marykay foundation. It provides long wear and is so convenient to use.

ReplyDeleteThank you Tope for the like on my picture,you are greately appreciated.
DeleteA primer is a base that goes on after moisturizing, but before foundation. It's mostly made of silicone. It keeps your foundation from absorbing into your pores, therefore keeping them cleaner. It also creates a smoother complexion for your foundation to stick to.
