Foundations & Powders
The key to an oily-skin-friendly base is a foundation that controls shine without caking and a powder that locks it in place.
My ride-or-die foundation. It keeps me matte for hours and covers every spot without looking cakey. It feels surprisingly lightweight despite its amazing coverage.
Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Foundation
My pick for long days when I need bulletproof wear. It doesn’t budge, even through heat, sweat, or oily skin flare-up
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
Perfect for when I’m too lazy for liquid foundation. Fast, easy, and keeps my skin looking smooth.
L’Oréal Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation Powder
A budget-friendly gem that keeps my T-zone matte all day. It blurs pores and sets foundation without ever looking chalky or heavy. Perfect for quick touch-ups on the go.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Powder
Concealers & Blushes
These formulas cover blemishes without clogging pores and add just the right amount of color without disturbing your base.
My go-to for spot concealing acne and brightening under-eyes. It has a creamy, blendable texture that stays in place without creasing or slipping on oily skin.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
A little goes a long way, and it doesn’t disrupt foundation underneath. The formula dries down nicely, leaving a natural, transfer-resistant flush that lasts all day—even in humidity.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
When I need to fully erase a zit or dark circles. This stuff does not budge.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
Drugstore product but makes me look like I’m naturally sun-kissed. One of my first faves and still a keeper.
Milani Baked Blush
Creamy, blends like butter, and doesn’t break me out. A staple for no-makeup makeup days.
Tower 28 BeachPlease Cream Blush
Bronzers & Lips
Long-wearing, non-greasy formulas that enhance your look without adding extra shine.
The matte finish is perfect for oily skin, avoiding unwanted shine while still warming up the face naturally. It blends smoothly and lasts all day without fading.
Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Powder Bronzer
A comfortable matte lipstick that doesn’t dry out lips. It’s long-lasting, smudge-resistant, and the perfect everyday nude-pink that complements any look.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick
A non-sticky gloss that feels light and hydrating. It gives a healthy sheen without looking greasy or sliding around.
NYX Butter Gloss
Smells like vacation and gives me a soft, natural bronze. Love this for everyday looks.
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
If you need lipstick that survives a whole meal, this is it. A bit sticky, but worth it.
Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick
Brows & Lashes
Waterproof, smudge-resistant picks that stay put even on the oiliest skin days.
Easy to use and makes my brows look natural. I’ve repurchased this like five times.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
Makes my lashes look huge and doesn’t smudge, even when my eyelids get oily. It holds up beautifully, which is a must for my straight lash girlies.
L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara
Gives that fluffy, laminated look I love. Lasts through the day (and my oily forehead).

My brows literally do not move when I use this. It’s glue but in the best way.

Gives me length forever. I love it for natural makeup days.

My budget pick that still gets the job done. Keeps the shine away for hours.

Blurs everything and feels like silk. Pricey, but worth every penny.
