Makeup Essentials for All Skin Types and Issues! Part 2: Oily Skin!

The struggle is real for all you ladies out there with oily skin. Makeup just doesn't want to stay on your face but I think with a LOT of investigation I've found the best products out there to keep you lovely girls looking fresh and matte!

PRIMER
Makeup Forever has really come through when it comes to all our primer needs and it's no different for you oily lassies! Their Step1 mattifying primer is the answer to all your unwanted shine, it fights oil all day long to keep you looking matte! It contains sebustop vegetel complex which is a mineral oil which actually suppresses the natural oil on your face but keeps your skin looking fresh and not flat, win win! It also has blurring qualities which will help minimize pores, yay! €33 is a bit of a bummer but it works and a little goes a hella long way!

FOUNDATION
When it comes to foundation, if you have oily skin and don't use Revlon ColorStay then what are you doing with your life! ColorStay has been around for years as Revlon's best selling product and there's a reason why! A lot of foundations aren't formulated to deal with the oil our skin produces so our oils melt through the foundation throughout the day ruining all our precious work. ColorStay on the other hand is made to absorb the oils your skin produces, so it just adds a subtle glow throughout the day rather than an oil slick for only €17.79.

CONCEALER 
Oh concealer! How you love to smudge and crease and fall half way down our leg, but we need you why you do this!? As I mentioned in my post Makeup Essentials for All Skin Types and Issues! Part 1: Dry Skin with Redness! my favorite concealer for all skin types is Mac Pro Longwear! As it says in the name this concealer lasts all day without fail on any skin type, a bold statement to make but I stand by it! It's lightweight and provides a medium to full coverage with a comfortable matte finish. I bought a little bottle of this about a year and a half ago and I'm still using it today so for €21 it's well worth it! I'm not the type to be sparing it either!

POWDER
With this trio of primer, foundation and concealer I say who even needs a powder but lets be real we all do. Benefit's Hello Flawless powder is technically a powder foundation but it perfect for setting oily skin for an all day matte feeling and awesome coverage! It has a really silky formula which I love in a powder cause it means no hard pan (ew) and feels great when your applying it! Available for €35 at all Benefit counters and online!
