Makeup for Oily Skin
Discover how to apply makeup for oily skin and create a smooth-looking, long-lasting makeup look.
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. Your powder will help to reduce unwanted shine and blur the look of pores.
Tilbury Tip: Keep Airbrush Flawless Finish in your bag for touch ups throughout the day as the skin begins to produce excess oil.
Step 3: Use a Powder Blush, Bronzer and Highlighter
Liquids and creams can be prone to slipping around on oily skin, so it's often best to choose powder formulas with greater longevity. When choosing a blush, bronzer and highlighter for oily skin, reach for Charlotte's pressed powder ICONS! There's Cheek to Chic blush, a two-toned, satin-meets-shimmer formula for beautifying the apples of the cheeks, Airbrush Bronzer, a modern, matte bronzer for creating an eternally sun-kissed complexion, and Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter, a soft-focus powder highlighter to give the face a Hollywood glow! With Charlotte's cheek-perfecting beauty secrets, you can create a gorgeous blush, bronze and glow for oily skin!
Step 4: Prime the Eyelids
Charlotte's Matte Eyes to Mesmerise cream eyeshadows are perfect for priming the eyelids for eyeshadow. Available in 5 neutral colours, these beautiful shades are perfect for mattifying oily eyelids and look gorgeous worn alone or alongside your favourite Luxury Palette. Apply lashings of Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! to complete the look!
Step 5: Add a Pop of Matte Lipstick
To match your natural-matte makeup look, apply a matte lipstick such as Matte Revolution in Very Victoria for a natural-looking pout, applying straight from the bullet to give the lips instant colour with a comfortable, non-drying finish. For added definition, line your lips with Lip Cheat before going in with lipstick to sketch out your perfect lip shape.
Step 6: Lock in your Look with Setting Spray
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray is the ultimate makeup fix, helping makeup to last for up to 16 HOURS!
