Makeup For An Average Coloured Girl

I have been struggling with oily skin and it sucks when I’m wearing makeup so I have a few tips either from searching around or from trying new things myself

 Don’t overdo the moisturizing. Especially with moisturizers that have lots of oil, only use a thin layer and never double up on serum!

Don’t dry out your face either! Theres a common misconception that if you skip moisturizing altogether, your face will be less oily. When you have oily skin, drying out your skin increases oil production, which makes things worse. Moisturizers help lock on natural moisture while providing key ingredients for healthy looking skin on their own.

Baby Powder and a damp sponge. If you use liquid foundation, especially one that isn’t matte, applying a VERY SMALL amount of baby powder to your face acts as a more affordable version of setting powder and prevents oil and bacteria buildup. If you feel like you’ve put too much powder, blot over the area with a damp beauty sponge.

Don’t layer the Cake. Covering up with layers of makeup can stimulate oil production, and makes for a bad combination of a caked, oily face.

I found a store near my house that sells drugstore makeup cheaper than the drugstore prices! I thought their products would be bogus but i got this beautiful palette and they actually have name brands at good prices. 

The Colossal Mascara was only $2!!

And this palette? 6!!!!!!
