Types of powder for oily skin types
Powder for oily dermis is produced in two types: loose and compact.
Most girls use compact powder for oily skin, as it is more convenient to apply. Compact powder is a pressed cosmetic product that fits in a handbag. You don't have to worry about it falling apart. There is another type of compact powder - balls.
Professional makeup artists use only loose powder in their work, applying it with a wide brush. Loose mattifying powder is applied evenly to the face, thanks to the brush and composition, removes oily shine and makes the skin velvety. It is hypoallergenic and does not clog pores. However, it is inconvenient to carry and use loose powder outside the home. In addition, it will not stay on your face for long.
As with any procedure, there are precautions when using powder on oily skin. Under no circumstances should you apply makeup if you have a herpetic infection, burns or inflammatory processes. This will complicate the healing process and may make the situation worse.
Makeup artists advise using two types at the same time: apply loose powder in the morning, and as it falls off, use compact powder to correct makeup.

Features of applying powder to oily skin
To create perfect skin, you need to know how to apply powder.
Makeup with loose and mineral powder should be carried out taking into account simple rules. First of all, it all depends on the purpose of using the cosmetic product. To set or correct makeup, use a wide brush. For oily skin, apply the powder with a brush from top to bottom to smooth out fine hairs. Before application, you should get rid of sebum or sweat, the dermis should be dry.
To create a dense coating, use a finely rubberized sponge. The powder is scooped up and lightly patted into the skin. This procedure should be carried out on foundation that has not yet been absorbed or by slightly moistening the sponge. To mask small imperfections, use a small brush moistened with water.
The variety of products is great, but you need to choose the right one that will eliminate oily shine, mask pigmentation and skin imperfections. This product is applied with small movements and strokes, starting from the forehead to the chin, the nose being treated last. Apply cream-powder around the eyes with a small brush.
For a healthy and beautiful face, it is not enough to use special mattifying products. Powder for oily skin only fights protruding sebum and masks, but does not cure. You should find the cause of the shortcomings, and then these remedies will not be needed.

How to choose powder depending on texture?

Pressed powder
Translucent and matte powder
It's perfect for touching up your makeup throughout the day. Use the first one if you want to give your skin radiance, the second one to make the tone even and the pores less noticeable.
How to apply tone on oily skin?
- First, make sure that the concealer and foundation are applied in a thin layer. This is necessary so that makeup does not weigh down the skin and the powder does not look unnatural.
- Secondly, if you have combination or oily skin with enlarged pores, apply a mattifying cloth to it before applying powder (work the T-zone properly).
- Apply a small amount of powder to the puff.
- Distribute it in a thin layer over the skin, lightly blending it so that the layer of foundation and concealer applied before does not roll off. Then gradually apply the powder in a thicker layer.
- On hard-to-reach areas - for example, the areas around the eyes and nose - apply powder with a powder puff, first folding it in half.
- You need a wide fluffy brush.
- Take a little pigment onto it, brush it off, and then apply it to those places where oily shine first appears - cheeks, center of the forehead, wings of the nose. Then use the same brush to cover the rest of the face.
- Apply the brush as close to the skin as possible to achieve a natural finish and translucent glow.
Look at the instructions for applying powder from blogger Olya Red Autumn.
Oily skin: makeup rules
Primer is a must-have for oily skin: it prolongs the durability of makeup and prevents the tone from fading during the day. You can not apply it to the entire face, but only to areas prone to oiliness: first of all, to the T-zone - the center of the forehead, the back of the nose and the center of the chin. Choose options that control sebum production and apply before foundation, powder and other makeup products.
Many girls - especially those who often experience redness on their eyelids - apply a layer of concealer to them. If you have oily skin, you shouldn't do this. Instead of foundation, use an eye primer: it will create the perfect base for applying eye shadow and eyeliner, and will also absorb sebum throughout the day.
In this case, the pores can at least become more noticeable, or at most become clogged. To prevent this from happening, use translucent finishing powders - they are suitable for any skin type and color. And apply them only to those areas of the face where shine appears.
After applying makeup, the skin usually looks smooth and matte. But don't let your guard down: if you have oily skin, it's likely to develop an oily sheen by mid-day. In this case, you should always have matting wipes on hand. Just gently apply them to the “shiny” areas of your face and remove them so as not to damage your makeup.
Since your skin is producing more oil than it should, invest in quality makeup products (foundation and brushes first) and use oil-free versions and ones that say “non-comedogenic.” These do not clog pores.

- Oksana December 10, 21:56 Hello everyone! I would like to tell you about a powder that is great for combination/oily skin! This is a compact creme puff powder from max factor. As the owner of combination skin prone to rashes, I really appreciated this product). This is not the first time I have bought this powder and there are several reasons for this: firstly, it covers minor redness and rashes well, so you can safely wear it solo; secondly, the price, it cannot but please (costs about 300 rubles); thirdly, good durability (in warm weather it lasts about 3 hours on me, with the onset of cold weather, when the skin is not so oily, its durability can reach up to five hours); fourthly, a large selection of shades (by the way, for my fair skin with slight redness, shade 50 “natural” is ideal). The packaging of this powder is made of high-quality plastic, which will not be damaged after several months of active use of this product, there is also a protective film and a thin sponge (it is more convenient for me to apply the powder with a brush, since the coating is more natural and does not create a mask effect). A small disadvantage of the packaging is the absence of a mirror, but for me it is not so important, since I can powder myself without it)) Thank you for your attention) I hope my review was useful to you.
- Alexandra November 29, 16:39 I’ve been using Maybelline Affinitone leveling powder for several years now. I like its light texture, it applies smoothly, creates an even complexion tone, beautiful and flawless, and does not clog pores, which is very, very important. I have combination skin, the powder suited me perfectly, although I believe that in fact it will suit absolutely any skin type due to its light texture. I have tone 20 (natural beige), ideal for foundation of the same brand “Perfect Tone”. It is very convenient to use the powder, the packaging has a convenient mirror and sponge, the powder is always with me in my purse and, if necessary, I can touch up my makeup at any time. I am grateful to this powder for my perfect and ideal complexion anywhere and in any circumstances!
