Oily skin:5 ways to make
makeup last.

have to forever forego makeup. It's a matter of knowing what works with your
skin type.

When you have an oily complexion, using a makeup primer helps everything stay put, You should at least prime oiliest areas (think: the T-Zone -- forehead, nose, and chin) with an oil-free, anti-shine primer.

2. Prep your peepers.
To cut down on eye makeup creasing, avoid priming your lids with concealer, something
that many women with dark circles do. Instead, use a primer
specifically designed for eyelids. The base creates a perfect canvas for eye
shadow and liner while absorbing crease-causing oils throughout the day.

3. Don't overdo powder.
It sounds like the right thing to do, to pile on the face powder. But going overboard could backfire by making your pores push out more oil. Apply powder just on areas that are shiny. Use a matte translucent formula, which can cut shine on any skin tone. If you do apply too much powder, dampen a makeup sponge and blot it over the over-powdered areas.

4. Carry blotting papers.
No matter how flawless and matte your makeup looks in the morning, if you’re prone to oiliness, you’ll spot shine by midday. Some blotting sheets simply lift the oil from your skin. Others deposit a bit of powder to sop up the oil. The trick to using blotting papers without taking off all of your makeup is to press the paper where you’re oily and then roll it off your skin, instead of rubbing the paper on your skin.

5. Go oil-free.
Since your skin naturally produces more than enough oil, invest in makeup
products (especially foundation and blush) that are oil-free and
noncomedogenic, which means they don't clog pores. Also use facial cleansers and
toners that are infused with glycolic acid which cut down on excess oil
