Hey there lovely ladies! 👋 Are you tired of your makeup sliding off your face by midday? Do you have oily skin that just won’t let your makeup stay put? Fear not, I am here to help you keep your makeup fresh and flawless all day long! 😍

Let’s dive right in! 💦

Use a Good Primer First 👍

Primer is your best friend! It creates a base for your makeup to hold on to and lasts longer. For oily skin, a mattifying primer works best as it helps control shine. Apply a pea-sized amount on your T-zone and blend it outwards. Once it dries completely, you can start with your foundation.

Choose the Right Foundation 💄

Oil-free, lightweight and long-wearing foundations specially designed for oily skin will do wonders. Make sure to test the foundation on your face and let it sit for a couple of minutes before selecting the shade. Opt for a shade that matches your skin tone and blends seamlessly. Use a small amount and blend thoroughly.

Blotting Papers to the Rescue 🎉

Blotting papers are a lifesaver! They absorb the excess oil from your face without disturbing the makeup. Instead of piling on powder (which can make your makeup cakey), gently blot the oil with blotting papers. You can find blotting papers in your local drugstore.

Lightly Powder Your T-Zone 💁‍♀️

If you do need to touch up your face with powder, go for a translucent, lightweight formula that won’t add any extra colour to your face. A matte powder will help control oil and shine. Use a fluffy brush and very lightly sweep the powder over the T-zone area.

Use Setting Spray to Lock Everything in Place 🌟

Finally, use a setting spray to lock everything in place! A makeup setting spray aids in longevity and helps prevent makeup from fading, smudging or creasing. Spray once you’re done with your makeup and let it dry.
