Important! Before buying a particular primer for oily skin, you need to familiarize yourself with its composition in detail.
How to choose for oily and combination skin
Oily skin is characterized by an abundant secretion of liquid fat, which serves as a lubricant and protection for the skin. However, this is not always good for makeup and aesthetics. To always remain beautiful, girls with an oily type need to pay special attention to choosing a makeup base.
- Choose a face primer strictly according to your skin type. This is very important, as sebum can affect the effectiveness of the foundation. For example, a crumbly foundation will clog your pores and curl into pellets on your face. In turn, the liquid base will quickly flow due to the abundant secretion of fat. The ideal option is a gel-like base that adheres well even to oily skin.
- You only need to buy a certified product. On the Internet on official websites or in special cosmetic stores, beauty salons.
- It is imperative to study the composition of the foundation: it should not contain components that cause an allergic reaction or unnatural substances (residues from oil refining, silicones, fragrances, etc.).
- To check for individual intolerance to the product, you can use a sampler. It is available in all specialized stores.
- The primer should match your skin tone. If you choose a tone lighter or darker, then no amount of beautiful makeup will brighten up the contrast between the color of your neck and face.
It is imperative to check the expiration date and never use expired base. Whatever they say, such an action can lead to allergies, rashes or even more unpleasant consequences.
What to choose for oily skin
The best choice for oily skin is a gel primer. These same formulations are ideal for combination skin types.
When applied to the face, they lie smoothly and evenly, hiding enlarged pores and wrinkles. But you need to cover it very quickly - primers dry out almost immediately.
Also suitable:
- liquid primers with universal properties - do not contain alcohol, dry quickly, hide inflammation well;
- compact foundation or powder - is a universal composition for any skin (the main disadvantage is the unnaturalness of the base with poor shading).

In just 10 minutes, the skin becomes radiant from the inside, looks healthy, toned, pores, defects and creases, and small wrinkles disappear.

The main thing when choosing a base is to focus on the type of skin. There are different products for each type of dermis:
For normal skin, a primer containing minerals and natural elements is suitable. This product will take care of the epidermis and help the makeup last a long time. A large number of primers have been invented for oily skin. The main thing here is to purchase products whose instructions indicate a mattifying effect. The epidermis, deprived of the required amount of moisture, needs a moisturizing base. Combination dermis requires a product with a minimal mattifying effect. Mature skin with wrinkles will also benefit from foundation. But you need to choose a product that removes dullness, moisturizes, and fights wrinkles.
Makeup artists advise owners of such skin to pay attention to sunscreen primers.
