Makeup for Oily Skin

Discover how to apply makeup for oily skin and create a smooth-looking, long-lasting makeup look.

Applying makeup to oily skin can be challenging as the skin's natural oils can cause makeup to budge and break down. Discover Charlotte's makeup for oily skin routine and unlock her tips and tricks for creating airbrushed, flawless-looking makeup that lasts!

HOW TO APPLY MAKEUP FOR OILY SKIN

  1. Light beige foundation in a frosted glass bottle shade with a gold-coloured lid.

    Step 1: Apply Long-Lasting Foundation and Concealer

    As the skin's natural oils seep through foundation, they can cause product to break down and slip and slide around the face. To create a fool-proof foundation look for oily skin, Charlotte recommends applying a long-lasting foundation that sets down and stays all day. Her Airbrush Flawless Foundation is a full-coverage, natural-matte foundation that's designed to keep skin looking FLAWLESS while feeling weightless. The long-wearing formula is perfect for oily skin, providing the perfect base to help with the longevity of the rest of your makeup.

    Airbrush Flawless Foundation pairs perfectly with Charlotte's Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer, a brightening concealer with medium-buildable coverage that helps to conceal and blur the appearance of pores, blemishes and dark circles.

    Step 2: Set Makeup with Powder

    Powder is the secret to making makeup last, and Charlotte's AWARD-WINNING pressed powder, Airbrush Flawless Finish, is perfect for setting down your foundation and concealer while giving the complexion an airbrushed, flawless-looking finish! With the Powder & Sculpt Brush, apply a light veil of powder onto the face, focusing in the oiliest areas such as the T-zone and around the mouth.
