PROTECT
Before we learn: how to make makeup last on oily skin
and what products to use, let’s not forget about sunscreen!
2. PRIME
These tips to make makeup last wouldn’t be
complete without primers. You’ve probably already used face and eye primers,
but sometimes I like to take it a step further by adding another mattifying
cream to my T-zone. Some ladies find that traditional primers just don’t work
for them so they use things like Aloe Vera gel and Monistat as face primer
or lip balm.
3. LIGHTEN UP
When you’re learning how to make makeup
last, know what foundations work best for your skin type
! Thicker foundations might seem like the way to go since you
want a long-lasting finish but actually, staying on the sheerer side is better!
4. POWDER
A tip to make makeup last
that might seem a little counter-intuitive is to go easy on the powder. It
sounds a little crazy, right?! I know, but too much powder can look cakey, fake
and make your pores produce even more oil!
5. BLOT
Once you’ve applied all of your makeup, how to
make makeup last on oily skin is to use blotting papers. Blotting papers are a quick
and easy way to blot away excess oil without piling on even more makeup.
6. WATERPROOF
Another one of the tips to make makeup last is
to consider using waterproof eye makeup. I know, waterproof eye makeup can be a
real pain to get off but honey, it lasts! If you’re not too hip to that idea, a
great alternative to waterproof is a long-wearing formula.
7. REDUCE
Tips to make makeup last also include reducing
excess oil from your life! Give your skin a nice break from all the primping
and treat it to an oil-absorbing mask. Look for a deep-cleansing, clarifying or
clay mask to draw out and absorb oils, impurities and tighten pores. Use a mask
once or twice a week for best results!
