We all have different skin types and all of those different skin types react differently to the various cosmetics
out there. I've worn some brands of makeup that make my skin break out and some that give my skin that desired porcelain look. With all of our individual skin characteristics it's no wonder there's no many cosmetics out there and apart from the basics of skin type, you have skin tone and a myriad of other variables. That's why choosing the right cosmetics is so important!
For me, choosing the right cosmetics is trial and error. The cosmetic that gives me the most problems is foundation because I have naturally oily skin and so I need to be careful about what kind of cosmetics I buy. There are so many different brands out there and so many different cosmetics targeted toward almost every skin type so sometimes it just takes some time in the makeup aisle to find something that could work.
It's worth it to invest in good makeup. I know good makeup can get pricey, especially if you buy it all at once, but you won't regret it. If you have good, quality makeup, your face will look good and quality. However if you're trying to save money, you could incur cost on your complexion and overall look. Cheap makeup looks cheap on your skin; it can cake on there and make you look plastic rather than beautiful. Remember also that cheap doesn't inexpensive. You can find some great deals at department stores on great makeup, but avoid the cheap, low quality makeup; don't buy makeup for the sole reason that it doesn't cost a lot. Buy it for its quality and for how it make you look.
So, back to the original question: how do you choose the right cosmetics?
* Accommodate your skin type—makeup that dries out or aggravates your skin isn't worth it
* Use cosmetics to work with your skin tone—darker shades with darker tones and lighter shades for lighter tones
* Investment in quality makeup, even though it can be expensive, results in a quality look. You'll pay more on your face if you use cheap products.
Choosing the right cosmetics is a quandary only because it's completely personal. Your skin is so individualized and so these tips should be so individualized. No rule regarding what kind of cosmetics to buy is hard and unchanging. Now you know to work with your skin instead of changing it, cosmetics will be a breeze!
Oily skin is nothing but excess oil produced by the sebaceous glands, which cause the skin to have large pores, acne, whiteheads and blackheads, oily appearance, and dullness. The skin tends to be shiny, thick, and has embarrassing blemishes. The oils tend to ooze out from the enlarged pores. The causes of oily skin can be heredity, hormone levels, pregnancy, humidity or hot weather, birth control pills, or certain cosmetics.
What is the Best Makeup for Oily Skin?
Before finding the best face makeup for oily skin, let's see how you can take some easy home remedies to get that beautiful skin. It's important to drink at least 8 glasses of pure water per day. This helps keep the skin hydrated and will make it shine less. Use of cucumber juice or witch hazel on face maintains the pH levels of skin. Use water-based foundations and blotting paper for oily skin care.
Best Foundation Makeup for Oily Skin
There are cosmetic companies that make skin-tone specific foundations. Make sure to get a high-quality foundation makeup for oily skin that doesn't aggravate or clog your pores, and evens out the appearance of your skin. Here are some tips that will help you pick the best foundation makeup for oily skin.
Foundation sticks
Always buy foundation that is one tone lighter than your skin tone. This will give a natural look to your makeup. Foundation sticks cover up the blotchy look and can hold for long hours.
Mineral foundation
Don't use mineral foundations during winters. This season is generally dry and the mineral foundation will make your skin look dry and oily at certain areas. Liquid foundations with mineral powder can be one way to escape from such issues. The foundation should be 100% pure minerals. Here's some more information about mineral makeup for oily skin.
Foundation powder
Instead of using a liquid foundation, powder foundations are much more effective. They stay in place and absorb excess oils from the skin.
Foundation with SPF
If you choose to go with any liquid foundations, check the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) on the label. The number indicates how many hours the SPF lasts. There are many foundations with SPF 15 and SPF 30 available in the market. That is a big bonus for foundations because it provides maximum coverage for your skin. Choose which works best for oily skin tone.
Check for full-coverage matte foundations, rather than light or medium coverage foundations which won't be long lasting for oily skin. Check the ingredients on the foundations that says "For oily skin". Don't use your fingers to apply the foundation, only use a make-up sponge. This will prevent from spreading more oil onto your face.
Tips to Select the Best Makeup for Oily Skin
- Buy foundations that contain titanium dioxide, a natural sun protector.
- Avoid products that have alcohol in them, especially SD40.
- Kaolin clay used in foundations will prevent excess oil formation on your face.
- Zinc oxide foundation is the best makeup for acne-prone skin, as it is anti-inflammatory.
- To get the best makeup for oily skin, make sure it contains sericite, which reduces the appearance of large pores and helps to absorb excess oil.
At-Home Remedies for Oily Skin Care
- Cleanse your face daily with cleansing milk, at least twice a day.
- Moisturize with an oil-free lotion that contains SPF 15.
- Use blotting paper to absorb excess oils. You can also use it, while you have makeup on.
- If you must use a soap to wash your face, use sulfur soap.
- Avoid eating too much oily foods.
- A diet rich in proteins, plenty of green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits.
- Knowing how to take care of your skin and which products to use will not only be beneficial for now, but also in the long run. Use as little foundation makeup for oily skin as possible, it will last longer and won't look heavy as if it's caked on. Only you can decide which is the best makeup for oily skin and implement it into your daily routine.
