Hi all! My mac concealer, the one in the tub is about to run out and I'm looking to buy a new one. I'm so lost with what to buy! This concealer is okay, but my skin is quite oily so by the end of the day my skin feels like it's seeping with oil.. Fyi I use oil sheets throughout the day, but it doesn't seem to make a massive difference :( my skin care rountine is that I firstly use a exfoliating facewash and then a oil free moisturising cream. I apply a lot of the concealer as I have a lot of scarring.
Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!

Sometimes if you aggressively (or too frequently) strip the natural oils from your face, the skin with react by producing an excess of oil to compensate. Do you think this could be the case for you?

Ya it could be you are exfoliating too much so try to be more gentle with your skin and keep moisturizing also powder over any liquid face products help to absorb oil but make sure it's noncomedogenic and try a mattifying setting spray as well.

Agreed with Erika & Diana.

After a life of super oily skin, it came as a shock to learn that moisturizing was the key! For example, if my cheeks get dry, my nose and forehead go crazy with oil. So I'd suggest using a light moisturizer in your T-zone, and something more emollient on your cheeks and see if this helps.
