Foundation For Oily Skin

Find the best foundation for oily skin, learn how to prep with skincare, and create long-wearing complexion coverage with a matte finish.

Prepping skin with skincare is essential for your best makeup application. Even with oily skin, moisturization is key. The right moisturizer helps prep oily skin for smooth foundation application and helps prevent dryness. Apply our Vitamin Enriched Face Base to help create a smooth canvas to grip makeup. This 2-in-1 moisturizer and primer has a lightweight, non-greasy formula that absorbs instantly.

It’s important to choose the best foundation for oily skin. Our Weightless Skin Foundation is a great option because it helps control oil. This formula features a weightless feel and natural matte finish in a range of skin-true shades.

Apply your foundation with a brush (seen here is our Full Coverage Face Brush) instead of your fingers to avoid adding additional oils to your skin. Work the foundation into skin using a stippling motion to build coverage, focusing on any shine-prone areas.

Finish with Hydrating Eye Cream to prep for undereye makeup. Use your ring finger to gently pat into delicate skin, avoid the lid area so that you don’t interfere with any eyeshadow or eyeliner that you may apply later.

Roll our Powder Brush into the powder on all sides, until you can see powder on the brush. Then work the powder into the skin with a pressing motion. This technique helps skin absorb powder to target shine.
