The Best Makeup Base for Oily Acneic Skin
We can’t stop our skin from producing oil, such as the kind that can cause acne. But with a good makeup application and some simple makeup tips and techniques, we can help to minimize shine and keep oils at bay for longer, without having to flood the skin with excess product that can look really unnatural upon the skin.
The following article looks at makeup products that are great for highlighting our best features and masking any imperfections:
Preparation: In order to create a flawless finish it is important to first cleanse, tone and moisturize the skin before applying your base. It should then be rested for five minutes and any excess moisturizer should then be blotted off the skin before applying the base.
Concealer: This is an essential part of your makeup routine for helping to cover any breakouts and imperfections. However all to often those who suffer from acne can have a tendency to overdo their concealer, which can end up drawing attention to imperfections, rather than having the desired effect.
For best results when using a concealer use a shade that is only one shade lighter then your foundation, a creamy formula that is not to matte is the best texture to use.
Apply using a small firm brush, one that will gently layer on the concealer to help hide redness and imperfections. Ultimately a good product combined with a good application technique will ensure that any flaws are covered effectively.
Foundation: The main purpose of foundation is to even out skin tone and texture and cover any imperfections. Ideally the best makeup for oily skin is a formula that contains a lower percentage of oil and a higher percentage of water.
An all in one foundation formula that contains a mixture of cream and powder will help to give a nice smooth even coverage on the skin, that is not to matte. Another great formula is pure mineral makeup that comes in powder form.
Underlying inflammation is often associated with acneic skin conditions and these formulas are great to use because they are completely natural and don’t contain any chemicals, meaning they are gentle enough to use on even the most sensitive of skin types..
They are also non comodgenic meaning that they don’t block pores and because mineral foundation comes in compact formulas they are great for those occasional touch ups, helping to keep oil under control though out the day.
Face powder: To complete your look your face power is going to help set your makeup in place and give it longevity. For best results use a translucent powder, as color powder can end up adhering to oily areas, making the skin look patchy in places. Translucent powder helps to give minimum coverage, helping to create a flawless finish.
