<h2>Oily Skin Makeup Tips</h2>by Nedra_HinesWearing makeup when you have oily skin can be troubling at times. I know because I have extremely oily skin myself, so I�m constantly looking in the mirror every couple of hours to see if my nose is glaring. I�ve asked my dermatologist if there is anything he could prescribe to suppress the production of oil, and unfortunately his response was �no�. He did point out that I will still look great at 50 years old, which does help the situation. 
 
Over the years I�ve learned how to cope with some very useful products and tips that I�m sure will benefit you as well: 
 
1. Blot powder � This is a wonderful product that I carry around with me everyday in my purse. It comes in a compact with a powder puff, similar to sheer powder. Instead of touching up with more makeup or sheer powder, I use blot powder. It�s translucent, so I can get rid of the oiliness without caking more makeup onto my face. Another advantage is that my makeup lasts longer because I�m not reapplying it throughout the day. 
 
2. Blotting papers � These can be found anywhere � from beauty supply stores to cosmetic counters. These are small oil-absorbing sheets of paper that come in a small package that you can easily carry around with you throughout the day. All you have to do is dab the oily areas of your face � typically the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. The papers will absorb the oil without leaving a powdery substance on your face or removing your makeup. 
 
3. Oil-control lotion � You can purchase this at almost any cosmetic counter. It�s very easy to apply and you can wear it under your makeup. Just dab a little on the oily areas of your face and blend outward. It controls shine and provides a matte finish. Most oil-control lotions work really well, but you may have to decrease the use if you find that your skin gets dry and starts flaking. 
 
4. Facial Tissue � When all else fails, grab a sheet of tissue paper! Besides using a blot powder, facial tissue is another product that I use throughout the day as well. Most are 2-ply, but it works better if you separate them and use 1-ply. They�re almost as useful as the blotting papers, and a lot cheaper too! Try to avoid buying ones that have fragrance or color because it may irritate your skin and cause breakouts. 
 
5. Cleanser/Moisturizer � Neither of these will absorb oil or block out the production, but they should be part of your everyday skincare routine. Always opt for a cleanser that is oil-free, and there are some great ones that are specifically made for oily skin. Your moisturizer should be water based with SPF15 or greater and be labeled as �noncomedogenic�. Your cleansing and moisturizing routine should be implemented morning and night to avoid clogging pores. 
 
6. Foundation makeup � Should be labeled �oil free� to prevent adding unnecessary oil to your face. Because I love a matte look, my everyday foundation contains powder, and comes in a powder compact. Foundation that is water-based or oil free come in various shades for many cosmetics lines, so you shouldn�t have a problem finding one that is right for you.Nedra has been a freelance makeup artist for the past 5 years and she understands the needs women of ethnic backgrounds have in regards to makeup and beauty.
