Make up for oily skin

morocha

Thank you for that, i have used Estee Lauder Double wear for my wedding and my skin was shine free the whole day...i mixed it with a moisturizer to make it less heavy, really dont know what i never bored and bought it.
I am 28yo,i went to the docs and he gave me some lotion, it did not do much, so i sticked with freederman. To be honest spots come and go, usually in odd places like in my chin, around my mouth or in my hairline.
I just want to control the shine a bit, the rest of my skin is nice, so dont want to use full foundation.

Spots on the jawline and the chin area are usually hormaone related, spots around the hairline are usually conditioner not being washed away thoroughly, after you rinse your conditioner out wash all skin with shower gel/soap to remove residue - hth:)

I looked at some mineral make-up on saturday but it was all far too orange for me so the search continues....

^^ That's why I said not to purchase from a non-mineral specialist. Generally the shades are far too limited. The L'Oreal one in particular is horrifying.

It was mainly the bare minerals one I tried. There was no way of mixing them that made them anything other than orange lol.

Lily Lolo is the way forward. My friend has completely translucent skin and their most pale one is perfect for her. I have pale but rosy skin and Candy Cane works for me. Mix a bit of their fixing powder in and you're flying.

You should try Korean BB creams it works well for me.

Treating the oily skin and calming the oil production will be more beneficial then spending loads on cosmetics which will change colour and slide off as the day wears on

Use the mildest most natural products you can find for your cleansing routine. The harsher the product them more oil your face will produce to combat it and the more spots will appear

I now use oils to cleanse but love Liz Earle and decleor when i can afford it

I still use the Smashbox at night to remove make-up - on my last bottle. But I use the Superdrug Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser for the mornings. Its "almost" as good as LE & loads cheaper, def the second best to it.
