Choosing a foundation for your oily skin can seem like a very tricky undertaking. You may know from many failed attempts that having oily skin presents its own set of unique problems. But don't sweat it; all of the guess work on how to choose your foundation for your oily skin has been done for you. Follow these simple steps to pick out the best foundation that you have ever worn. Does this Spark an idea?
Choose the formula of foundation that you will be the most comfortable applying. The best types of foundation for oily skin are: liquids that dry to a matte finish, powders, and mineral foundation. Any foundation that is oil free and comfortable for you to apply will work for your oily skin.
Pick a spot along your jaw line where you will test for color match. If you happen to have an oilier T-zone, then you will want to pick a spot there to test as well. Different spots on oily skin may change the color of a foundation so try a couple of places.
Pick a shade that you believe most closely matches your skin tone. Pull that shade, one shade lighter, and one shade darker to test in the foundation.
Put a small line of each shade of foundation on the test area of your oily skin. Do not rub the foundation in.
Look at each foundation shade closely. When any of the shades of foundation look pink or yellow against your oily skin they are not the shade for you.
Blend the foundation shade that most closely matches your skin tone into your oily skin. When the shade blends in with out leaving a line, this is the perfect shade of foundation for your oily skin.
Repeat Steps 3 through 6 until you find the perfect shade of foundation for your oily skin.
Tips
- Check your foundation shade for your oily skin every six months. Any change in your skin will lead to the need to change your foundation shade.
