Oily Skin Besties: 6 Base Makeup Products You Should Buy RN

If you have oily skin and are looking for fitting base makeup products, we already know what you’re going through. Not all makeup products out there truly cater to your needs, but that doesn’t mean you should settle for less. Oily skin tends to sweat through makeup which makes products like foundation and concealers look shiny and cakey. Even blush and contour products don’t last long after application. That may be the case because you never came across the right makeup products in the first place. 

With much cherry-picking, we found our favourite base makeup products that actually work on oily skin types and we aren’t about to let them go. From foundations that control all the shine to blushes that blush all day long, here are the best base makeup products that anyone with oily skin should get their hands on right away.

Powder Play

A skin-perfecting compact powder will change the game for you. You can easily opt for this product for your everyday makeup looks and find that it keeps your skin looking radiant and fresh all day. This compact powder has a lightweight, breathable formula that your skin will oily love. You can even use this over foundation to get more coverage.

Comfort Matte

When you find a foundation that is mattifying and has skincare ingredients to keep breakouts at bay, you marry it. The Body Shop Matte Clay Skin Clarifying Foundation actually stays matte and allows no shine on your skin even after 6 to 8 hours of wear. It is infused with tea tree oil to prevent pimples from occurring which is also an oily skin concern. The coverage is very good and it is super long-lasting on oily skin.

The Cover Up

As the name suggests, the Smashbox Studio Skin Flawless 24 Hour Concealer will stay on all day without budging. The formula won’t clog your pores and it will actually provide that extra coverage you need without looking cakey or causing cracks after a while. It’s the perfect concealer to use over foundation or even by itself for a lighter base.

Blush & Glow

We love the pigmentation and wear time this palette gives us. The POPxo Makeup InstaGlamm Face Kit serves up two super pigmented blushes, one highlighter, and one setting powder. It is perfect to customise your own blush shade and highlight and set your makeup while at it. The formulas are enriched with vitamin E and the colour payoff is immense.

Sun Goddess

If you ever feel the need to contour your skin but are afraid you might overdo it or it will just melt away, reach for this bronzer by Physicians Formula. It is easy to apply and it adds warmth to your visage which lends a soft contouring effect. The powder formula is perfect for oily skin types.

Glow Game

Looking for a highlighter that looks silky like a liquid but stays on like a powder? Behold the Maybelline New York Face Studio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter. This highlighter can even give high-end brands a run for their money. It offers a chrome-like shine to the skin and the powder sits well on your skin and doesn’t budge even if your skin tends to get oily after a while.

Now that we’ve put you on these makeup products for oily skin, you won’t be complaining about your base makeup vanishing ever again.
