What you need
Steps
Wash your face and pat it dry. Apply an oil control moisturizing gel all over. Oily skin still needs hydration, and skipping moisturizer can make it produce more oil.
Mist a matte setting spray over your bare face. Let it dry for a few seconds.
Press a thin layer of powder over your face with a puff or brush. This absorbs excess oil and gives you a matte base.
Apply a soft matte or lumi matte foundation with a damp sponge. Use light layers and build only where you need coverage.
Dot concealer under your eyes and on any spots, then blend with the sponge or your fingertip.
Mist matte setting spray again over the foundation and let it set.
Sweep blush and bronzer onto your cheeks and jawline, then set both with a light dusting of powder.
Apply a blurring eyelid primer to your lids and set it with powder. This controls oil and stops mascara from smudging.
Coat your lashes with mascara. Finish with one last mist of matte setting spray to lock everything in.
Tips and common mistakes
Spray setting spray before, during and after makeup, not just at the end.
Keep powder layers thin, because heavy powder can cake on oily skin.
Set cream blush and bronzer with powder so they do not slide off.
Carry blotting papers for touch-ups instead of adding more powder.
Questions
Do I still need moisturizer if my skin is oily?
Yes. Oily skin can also be dehydrated, so a light oil control gel keeps it comfortable without adding heaviness.
How often should I use setting spray?
Use it three times: on bare skin, after foundation, and as a final step. Each layer helps hold the makeup.
Why does my mascara smudge under my eyes?
Oil from your lids breaks down mascara. A blurring primer plus powder on the eyelids helps stop that.
