When you think of summer, dewy skin might come to mind. But if you have oily skin, you know that a glowy look will have you looking sweaty and greasy by noon, especially when it's hot out.
For those with oily skin types, the only answer is a matte makeup look. And the right makeup products will help control shine and cut oil, even in the summer.
To start, use an oil-free moisturizer and mattifying primer to prep skin prior to makeup application. Whether you like light or full coverage, opt for a concealer or foundation with a soft matte finish.
Perhaps the most important step is a setting powder. Whether you prefer a pressed powder or one that is loose and finely milled, applying powder to areas that tend to get shiny is a must for those with oily or combination skin. Not only does this step keep skin matte, it also ensures your makeup lasts in the heat. Finally, seal it all in with a mattifying setting spray.
