Keeping make up on... ?

Question

I have oily skin. so my make up always comes off, within two hours of when I put it on. does anyone have any tricks to keep make-up on... and don't say visit a dermatologist, that's not what i mean.

Answer 1

I f u use foundation it might cause it to b oily so try using those powder ones they mite  b better for  u hope this helps =]

Answer 2

i also have your problem... the best thing to do is buy some blotting papers with or with out powder on them. Take then when your face starts to get oily and gently blot your face with them and it will help to preserve your make up longer.... if on your eyes use a liquid eye shadow that turns into "powder" hope this helps

Answer 3

Since you have oily skin, I hope you are not using Liquid Foundation. Try using Mineral Foundation. It's going to suck up all your oils throughout the day so you will be less shiny. My favorite Mineral Foundation is MAC Mineralized Loose Foundation with SPF15. Apply this with a MAC 187 brush. Then spray some FIX + all over your face to set the makeup.

Good Luck! =)

Answer 4

maybe before you apply makeup, you could dab those areas with alcohol? like, rubbing alcohol. it'll help temporarily dry out the skin.  

Answer 5

hmm... try applying a base or primer, that might help: )

Answer 6

I always have this problem. For long make up wear, after i put all my make up on i set it with Makeup Forever Fixer Spray. it really works, it looks like water and really refreshing and you spray it on and let it evaporate. it doesnt smudge your make up whatsoever if you're wondering. the spray prevents oil and everyday pollution from ruining your make up. I use the Smashbox Compact Anti Shine. You just blot some on your nose and chin and it creates a matte look. no shine, promise.

Answer 7

Well, maybe you should see a dermatologist. They could resolve your oily skin. Make-up just covers it.  

Answer 8

Well, you could try just doing your makeup normally (foundation, concealer, etc.), and then set it with an oil-free powder (try Maybelline DreamMatte Powder.....I use a big makeup bursh to apply it, it sticks to my pores better and also gives a more natural finish), then do powder blush (if you do that) on top of that. That's what I have to do....and for eyeshadow, you can use a separate product called primer, which you apply before your eyeshadow, which prevents smudging, creasing, etc. I use this one: http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/Eye...

Hope this helped! :)
