My Top Makeup Picks for Oily Skin

If you have oily skin, you know the challenge of keeping your makeup fresh, shine-free, and long-lasting throughout the day. With the right products, though, you can create a smooth, balanced, and beautiful finish that holds up no matter what. Below are my top makeup picks for oily skin that I personally recommend and use in my kit.

A Lightweight Serum

• Clarins Double Serum Anti-Aging to Firm
  This serum is a great first step. It hydrates the skin while helping improve firmness and elasticity - all without feeling heavy.

• Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
  I love this serum for adding a soft glow without making oily skin feel greasy. Plus, niacinamide helps balance oil production over time.

A Lightweight Moisturizer

• Tatcha The Water Cream
  This moisturizer is perfect for oily skin types. It feels refreshing and weightless while delivering the hydration your skin needs to balance oil production.

A Blurring Primer

• Make Up For Ever Step 1 Pore Minimizer Primer
  This is one of my favorite primers for oily skin. It smooths the appearance of pores and creates a blurred, matte canvas that helps makeup last longer.

A Mattifying Setting Spray

• One/Size by Patrick Starrr On ‘til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
  This setting spray locks makeup in place with a matte finish that truly lasts - even through heat, humidity, and long wear days.

A Good Setting Powder

• Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
  This powder is great for baking and setting your makeup in areas where you need extra oil control and staying power.

• Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
  I use this powder to softly blur and set the entire face without making the skin look cakey or dry.

Touch Up Powder

• Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder
  This is my go-to powder for touch-ups on the go. It instantly absorbs shine and refreshes your makeup without leaving a noticeable powdery layer.

Oily skin doesn’t have to mean shiny, melting makeup. With these products, you can create a balanced, long-wearing look that feels comfortable all day.
