Makeup Steps for Oily Skin

Step 1: Cleanse Your Face

Before you start applying makeup, make sure you are prepping your skin for it. Whether you have oily skin or the normal one, this is a must-follow step. Use cleanser to clean your face, then apply toner. This won’t only clean and exfoliate your skin but will also help it stay hydrated.

Step 2: Moisturize Your Skin

Now fix your toner in the skin with moisturizer. Pick up a moisturizer that has SPF in it, so that it can protect you from harmful sun rays and make it look oilier.

Step 3: Apply Matte Primer

Just primer won’t do. Go for the matte primer if you have oily skin. It will prevent your makeup from melting down. When purchasing a matte primer, go for the powdered form, or the liquid primer with no oil content in it. Don’t forget to prime your eyelids as well.

Step 4: Apply BB Cream

Apply BB cream to protect your skin from getting too oily and melting down your makeup. BB cream has SPF in it, which can make your skin tone even so that you can apply more makeup without having any cakey effect left behind.

Step 5: Conceal Flaws

You can’t conceal the truth, but you can at least conceal the flaws on your face, right? For skin that's free of dark circles, red marks, and blemishes, choose the right concealer. Add the light layer of concealer.

Step 6: Apply Foundation

Now, it’s time to apply foundation. Choose the foundation shade as per your skin shade. Apply it on the skin with the makeup brush for a flawless look. Go for the matte or airbrush finish foundation instead of glossy. 

Step 7: Ace the Eyebrow Game

Now, it’s time to ace up your brow game by defining your eyebrows with a brow pencil. Define a brow shape with the pencil, fill it, and finish up with the brow gel for the perfect look. It won’t be necessary for everyone. If you already have defined eyebrows that frame your face gorgeously, you are good to go!

Step 8: Apply Eyeshadow

Which makeup ends without the application of eyeshadow? You have already prepped up your eyes for the eyeshadow, choose the right eyeshadow palette for your look. If you are getting ready for the wedding season, the glitter and shiny palette will catch your attention. Apply eyeshadow with keen focus!
