We all love a glowy, dewy, luminous makeup on-screen but these all look good only on people with dry skin. Trying these makeup looks can sometimes feel like a challenge for people with oily skin. Especially in the season of heat and humidity, oily skin is prone to produce excess oil and you get acne and pimples. Acne can leave behind marks on face and makeup is very prone to slip away on textured skin. But with the right makeup techniques and product choices, you can completely transform how makeup sits on oily skin. Let's walk you through a proper makeup routine for oily skin type using Colors Queen products.
1. Prep the Skin with Proper Skincare
Any great makeup look starts with a fresh, prepared skin. If your skin isn’t prepared correctly, even the best makeup products will struggle to stay in place.
Follow all the steps religiously. Follow all the steps from cleaning your face with Anti-dust Facial Cleanser to remove oil, dirt and follow up with toner, moisturizer, serum and sunscreen. After your skincare, allow atleast 10 mins for all the skincare to get absorbed in the skin properly.
2. Start with a Mattifying Primer and Use Oil-Control Foundation
Once your skin is all prepped, you can start with your makeup. The first step is preparing your skin for makeup. Use Colors Queen Grip Primer, this creates a tacky surface for all the makeup products to stay effectively and controls the production of oil to give you matte finish makeup look.
A mattifying primer helps:
-
Control excess oil
-
Blur the appearance of pores
-
Smooth out the skin texture
-
Increase makeup longevity
After primer, move on to your foundation. For oily skin, Colors Queen Ultra Definition Foundation is best to use as this foundation controls oil effectively and provide medium to high coverage to even skin tone.
Apply the foundation using a damp makeup sponge or a brush, blend it evenly across your face. Use thin layers instead of applying a thick coat. Building coverage gradually prevents the makeup from looking cakey and helps it last longer.
3. Apply Blush and Use Loose Powder to Set Your Makeup
Once your base makeup is complete, you can set your base by using Colors Queen Bake & Finish Loose Powder. Apply in generous amount on the parts of the face where you get most oil, like forehead, T-zone, under the eyes and smile lines. Leave it on for 2-3 minutes and with the help of a powder brush, dust off the excess. This will help lock in your base and less production of oil and keep your face shine-free all day.
Loose powder helps:
-
Lock foundation and concealer in place
-
Absorb excess oil
-
Prevent creasing
-
Keep the skin matte for longer
No makeup is complete without blush and for oily skin, powder blushes often work best because they absorb excess oil and stay in place longer than cream formulas. Use Colors Queen Blush and Highlighter Palette, take some blush on with the powder brush and apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend it gently upward toward the temples for a natural lifted look. To apply highlighter, you can even use your fingers, swatch a little product and apply it on your cheeks, nose and chin area for a radiant finish.
4. Eye Makeup
Oily eyelids can cause eyeshadow to crease or smudge, which is why eye primer is essential. Apply a small amount of eye primer on your eyelids and blend it evenly using your fingertip or a small brush.
To add more fun and dimension to your eyes, apply eyeliner if desired. Gel or waterproof liners work best for oily skin because they resist smudging. Finish your eye makeup with Colors Queen Lash Curl Look Mascara to lengthen and define your lashes.
5. Fill in Your Lips
As you start your makeup, prepare your lips using a lip balm. This will keep your lips hydrated and prevent you from getting chapped during the day. Use a lip liner to create definition and fill in with your favorite lipstick.
6. Seal Everything in Place
The final step to seal everything in place and keep oil production in control is Makeup Fixer. For oily skin, use Colors Queen Ultra Setting Luxury Makeup Fixer Spray, hold the bottle about 8–10 inches away from your face and mist lightly across your skin in an “X” and “T” motion.
A Makeup Fixer Spray helps:
-
Reduce the appearance of powderiness
-
Blend all makeup layers seamlessly
-
Increase longevity
-
Control shine throughout the day
Once the spray dries, your makeup will appear more natural, matte and will stay intact for hours.
