Go-To Make Up for Oily Skin

Hey everyone!

Jessica here, today I just want to talk about something that might benefit a lot of you and that is my summer make up routine for VERY oily skin. I have seriously oily skin (ugh!) and if you also have oily skin you know what a drag it is to wear make up during the hot, humid summer. Here in the North East we have very humid summers that usually leave me a greasy mess. I have discovered a few products that I recommend to try if you have oily skin like me!

First, I want to talk about primers and foundation. I use the Olay Fresh Effects Clear Skin Swirled Mattifier ($9.99 at Ulta) to mattify my entire face, NYX Pore Filler ($13.99 at Ulta) to fill my very large pores, Soap & Glory One Heck of a Blot Instant-Perfecting Power Primer ($14 only at Ulta) to mattify my T-zone and last but not least Soap & Glory One Heck of a Blot Foundation ($19 only at Ulta) in Happy Medium.

I know it seems a little excessive to use 2-3 primers but I have to say pairing these products together keep my skin very matte and smooth looking ALL day! I'm not over the moon in love with the foundation because in some spots on the tip of my nose and chin it sits in my pores and gets a bit cakey but it does a really great job at keeping my face matte. Cakey-ness aside I think it's worth a try if you have oily skin, it may work better for you, everyone's skin is different.

Now on to the powders! To set my under eye concealer I use NYX HD Finishing Powder in Translucent ($9.99 at Ulta), to set my T-zone and other oily areas I use Soap & Glory One Heck of a Blot ($16 at Ulta), and to set my entire face I use NYX Mineral "Set it & Don't fret it" Matte Finishing Powder ($9.99 at Ulta) in Light/Medium.

Now for some color. I use the every so popular Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess ($30 at Ulta) and for blush and highlight I use the gorgeous Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Glow face palette ($52 at Sephora, Limited Edition, Available in stores June 16th) in the colors Amaretto, Rose Spritz and Champagne Pop.

I have A LOT of wrinkles under my eyes and the NYX HD Translucent Finishing Powder is amazing, it doesn't emphasize my wrinkles even more than they already are, their Mineral powder is so light and fine it feels weightless on my face. So those are both thumbs up in my book.

Soap & Glory hit it out of the park with this blotting powder and the primer of the same name, absolutely incredible for my very very oily skin, I HIGHLY recommend. I will continue to repurchase these forever (or until they stop selling them lol).
