I truly believe that a good skin care regime is the foundation to a flawless complexion, alongside adequate sleep and hydration of course! Here is my list of tried and true products for oily skin.
Eyes That Wow: Get the perfect brow, eyes, and lashes
A few months ago I wrote this post on my favorite beauty products for oily skin; give it a read to see what I recommend for foundation, primer, and concealer. Today’s post is all about the eyes aka “eyes that wow,” and getting the perfect brow and lashes. I also share two of my favorite red lipsticks at the end!
Shop Kroger (Fred Meyer or QFC) for Affordable Beauty Products
This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Kroger and DiMe Media. However, all opinions are my own.
I love a great deal as much as the next girl, which is why I’m recommending that you stop by your nearest Fred Meyer or QFC and pick up your favorite beauty essentials! They literally have some of the best buys when it comes to affordable makeup, skincare, and miscellaneous beauty products. You can also shop online at Kroger Beauty.
Beauty Products for Oily Skin: Face
Whenever I meet someone new, they compliment my skin, which I credit to three things: good genes, a great skincare regimen (thanks mom), and my beauty products! When shopping for makeup, my main goal is to control my oily skin and to stay matte. If I could only use one beauty product for the rest of my life, it would definitely be my Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation. It is the holy grail of foundations and gives me a flawless matte complexion.
Whether you have oily skin or not, this roundup of products is great for most skin types, so definitely check them out.
4 Setting Powders that Work
In junior high, a boy asked me why I was sweating after looking at my face, but I wasn’t sweating, my skin was just oily. I was mortified! I have always had oily skin and have trouble keeping my makeup in place, which is why I’m so obsessed with having a shine-free complexion. Having a good skincare regime helps a lot, but a great finishing powder is what can really make a difference. I know that when I get older I will appreciate my oily skin, but for now I still like to use products that keep my skin matte.
If you are looking for a way to make your makeup appear flawless or you struggle to keep your makeup in place, this is the post for you!
4 Setting Powders that Work
- Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder: I recently tried this powder via Influenster. It’s one of the first translucent medium deep setting powders for dark skin. My first thought was, it’s a translucent powder why the heck does it need to be brown! I have to admit, though, having a powder that matches my skin does make it easier to blend and not have to worry about residue. This powder is long wearing and keeps my makeup matte. It also comes in the standard Natural Finish for all skin tones.
- Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Setting Powder. This was the first finishing powder that I tried. It is amazing! It absorbs oil, mattifies the skin, and minimizes the appearance of pores. It comes in a compact and loose powder option. I prefer the compact (less mess).
- Pixi Quick Fix Powder. The Pixi powder is an inexpensive alternate to the Tarte powder and provides a flawless matte finish. I really can’t tell the difference between the two, and for $12 dollars less, it’s a great choice. If you want to learn more about other Pixi products check out: Capture Your Natural Beauty With Pixi by Petra, The No Makeup Look with Pixi by Petra, and Bedtime Ritual with Pixi Beauty.
- Estée Lauder Perfecting Loose Powder: I am a huge fan of Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-in-Place foundation in addition to the Double Wear powder so I decided to try their translucent powder. It does control shine and helps minimize imperfections, but for the price, I feel the aforementioned brands are a better option.
