Powder for oily skin

Oily skin sometimes causes inconvenience to a woman and involves not only high-quality cleansing and further care, but also the choice of the right cosmetic products like face powder, which would not clog pores and eliminate oily sheen at the same time. Modern brands produce powder for oily skin types, offering it in various formats and shades.

A mattifying cosmetic product for oily skin has characteristic features and is suitable for women with a certain type of epidermis, which has a pronounced shine in the T-zone and the formation of comedones, acne, has enlarged pores.

• Powder for oily skin does not contain vegetable oils (fats), wax, starch;

• Among the varieties of a cosmetic product, there are those that can satisfy a woman’s desire: eliminating oily sheen, matting the skin or toning it - giving a fresh shade;
• The product is designed to hold makeup and eliminate shine throughout the day, however, new methods of using the product allow it to be used as a corrector, highlighter or bronzer;

Powders differ from each other in the form of release: compact and crumbly. Compact powder is a pressed product in a small round flat jar that fits easily in a lady's purse. It is convenient to apply it "on the go" and "correct" the face at home or outside its walls thanks to a sponge or a compact brush.

All cosmetic powders for toning and use on the face are divided into several more categories according to the type of their action:

• Matting;
• Cream;
• Mineral;
• crumbly;
• Rice.

Oily skin "spoils" its owner with a greasy sheen on the face: in the T-zone or in its entire area, which encourages the use of a dry matting agent - powder. It strongly masks problem areas of the skin and makes the surface of the face completely matte, which requires the use of highlighter, blush to refresh the face and give it a contour.

The creamy texture of the powder is more dense; it can replace foundation and be used as a corrector for problem areas of the skin when applied wet, but this product is also used separately to create a dense coating and a lasting make-up.

It makes the surface of the epidermis moderately matte and revitalized, eliminates excess sebum and prevents it from “penetrating” over makeup, while maintaining the natural shine of the skin. The composition of the mineral tinting agent includes natural components such as zinc oxide, kaolin, iron, boron nitride and quartz, which ensures its hypoallergenic properties.

Despite its light coverage, the powder perfectly preserves makeup for 2 hours or more, depending on the intensity of the sebaceous glands.

It has been used since antiquity to give the skin a matte and beauty, and today is used by fair-skinned beauties to create the perfect coverage.Rice beauty product is not as affordable as other types of product and is sold exclusively by professional beauty brands such as Sweetscents, Polverederiso and others.

A transparent, often mineral-based facial treatment that has no tint and is ideal for oily and combination skin. The composition mattifies the surface of the dermis and does not add additional color, it emphasizes the natural skin tone or the tone of the foundation used, acting on the skin of the face as delicately as possible. The transparent product is ideal for use on oily skin to eliminate shine and is suitable for even epidermis with small imperfections (almost imperceptible). Its disadvantage is that the powder does not mask the imperfections of the skin.

Tinting powders allow you to emphasize or complement the color of the foundation, if they are used together. The spectrum of powdery shades differs from almost transparent light to the darkest and most saturated; its choice is determined by the skin tone for which a dry cosmetic product is selected.

Makeup artists say that with the help of ordinary powder you can correct the face: for a narrow shape, choose a lighter tone of the powder - this will visually expand the face. For a wide shape, use dark powder and apply it along the hairline and on the cheekbones.

The right choice of powder provides an even tone on the skin. When choosing a cosmetic product, it is worth fulfilling a number of simple conditions:

• Upon arrival at the cosmetic store, test the different textures of the dry matt composition on the arm: the wrist or the back of the hand. This technique will help determine the favorites among the powders and move in the next direction;
• To choose a shade, apply a little powder from the tester to your hand at the wrist, then to the bridge of the nose, jawline and forehead to evaluate the color of the product;
• It is worth remembering that the composition of the powder for oily skin should not contain fats (any vegetable oils), wax, starch and light-reflecting particles (the exception is mineral);
• When choosing a powder, professional makeup artists recommend paying attention to the brand of your foundation.
• Thick mattifying powder for oily skin types suitable for use in the cold season; for a warm and hot period, it is better to do without powder or pay attention to mineral counterparts;
• For problem skin choose mineral bases - the natural composition of the product will not clog pores and will not cause additional irritation. It should be borne in mind that it is not recommended to use a dry composition on inflamed and irritated skin, no matter how natural it is;
• For combination and oily skin, including with epidermis with enlarged pores, matting, mineral, and creamy textures are suitable.Before buying, it is important to determine the expected effect of the product: fixing makeup, toning the skin or eliminating oily sheen;
• For summer choose a mineral powder with a protective factor SPF and do not forget to renew the layer every 2-3 hours to create a protective barrier on the surface;
