FAQs

Are stick foundations good for oily skin?

Stick foundations are great for combination and oily skin because once applied and set, they do not move. Even mouse formulas are great for oily skin. Whereas for drier skin types, the stick foundation needs to be very creamy but liquid ones work the best. 

What type of foundation is best for oily skin?

For oily skin types, look for formulas that contain pigments and other ingredients that help in absorbing oil and keep your face looking matte. Look for labels that say ‘suit oily and acne-prone skin’ ‘matte formula’ or ‘shine-free formula’. And to further keep the grease at bay, set your base with a pressed powder.

How do you keep foundation on oily skin?

The trick with makeup is to prep your skin properly before applying it. First, start off by cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser and then applying an alcohol-free toner to maintain the pH balance of the skin. After that apply a gel-based moisturiser and let it soak for a couple of minutes. Then go in with a primer to extend the wear time of your foundation and minimise the appearance of pores. Post that you can pick a matte foundation and dab it with a beauty sponge or brush. Don’t forget to set your base with a loose powder to keep it shine-free. And finally, spritz some makeup setting spray to keep it locked in for good.
