Begin your makeup routine with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt. This creates a smooth base for makeup application.

Apply a mattifying primer before your foundation. This helps to control oil production and creates a smooth surface for your makeup to adhere to.

Opt for oil-free and non-comedogenic foundations. These formulas are designed to control excess oil and prevent clogged pores.

Set your foundation with a translucent powder. This helps to absorb oil throughout the day and keeps your makeup in place. Focus on areas that tend to get oilier, such as the T-zone.

Keep blotting papers or oil-absorbing sheets in your purse. Use them to gently blot away excess oil during the day without disturbing your makeup.

Look for oil-free formulations in your makeup products, including blush, bronzer, and eyeshadows. Water-based formulas are often a good choice for oily skin.

Steer clear of heavy, creamy products, especially if you have oily skin. Opt for lightweight, water-based products that won't contribute to excess shine.

Choose waterproof mascara and eyeliner to prevent smudging due to oiliness around the eyes.

Dirty brushes can harbor bacteria and oil, which can transfer to your skin. Clean your makeup brushes regularly to ensure a fresh application.

Touching your face throughout the day can transfer oils and break down your makeup. Try to avoid unnecessary contact with your face.

Look for makeup products that are labeled as long-wearing or have a matte finish. These formulations are designed to last longer on the skin.
