Hello beautiful ladies!

It's getting hot and humid now. And I really need some help >___<. My skin is oily and my makeup is usually off by afternoon O.O

I have problem using primers: they're causing me break out w(T_T)w

Please help me. Touch-ups is my only option now, but I think it makes my brushes dirty...

do u use a liquid foundation? i had that same problem for years, then i switched to a powder foundation. i really like loreal or physician's formula. i still have to blot thruout the day for shineyness. but @ least my make doesn't look like it's melting off my face anymore..lol.
good luck hon :)

Hey girl hey!
So I had the same problem with the makeup!!
Best advice! Before applying your makeup make sure you have the right moisturizer for your skin! The best formula now would be "oily to combination" skin type! Check out my website! Www.marykay.com/cdagayray they have perfect moisturizer for your skin type! (: works like a charm!
Then sun screen is optional...I use a sunscreen from the website I just gave. It has so much benifits towards the summer tho! (:
Then next!! No need for primer! (: check out the "MOISTURIZER TINT" best coverage it leterally covers your skin like a foundation but keeps your face moisturized throughout the suns hotness!! ((: love love love it!!
But for eye makeup just use a really good base (:
Hopes this helps pretty girl!

Here are a few options that have worked well for me:

1. Use lemon juice as a toner - this will absorb oil from your skin and has many other benefits for healthier-looking skin. If you do this in the morning, make sure to use sunscreen or stay out of the sun because your skin will be more prone to sun damage.

2. Use Milk of Magnesia as your foundation primer - apply a very thin layer either before or after your moisturizer, whichever works best for you.

3. Invest in a good foundation - Estee Lauder's Double Wear is AMAZING and stays put!

4. A great powder for touch-ups is MAC's Blot Powder.

use a liquid foundation and set it with a powder foundation, you should keep a loose powder and blotting papers in your purse or bag if you get oily through out the day so you can touch up your makeup if it does come off. You should use a makeup mist& set from e.l.f. to have your makeup last longer or urban decays all nighter spray (the e.l.f. one is less expensive and you can get it at a target)

start off by applying a decent face primer to the face after moisturising it, and then apply your foundation.

another good foundation is avon's extra lasting foundation, once on, it don't budge, hence why i use it!

Maybe the primers you were using were silicone-based. I know a lot of people who have bad reactions to silicone-based primers. Try using a water-based primer, like the Laura Mercier oil-free foundation primer. It is expensive, but totally worth it and you only need a pea-sized amount of it.

I would also recommend a makeup setting spray to make sure your makeup doesn't budge. I like Urban Decay's De-slick setting spray. Also pretty expensive, but totally worth the money. Model in a Bottle also works very well, and is a bit cheaper I believe. Hope this helped!

Try a oil free tinted moisturizer and Skindinavia has make up setting sprays. They have a specific on for oily skin (it's called the NO MORE SHINE MAKEUP FINISH). Hope that helps :)
