Foundation for Oily Skin

Oil control begins with cleansing and applying a lightweight moisturiser that’s specially formulated for oily skin. Then you can apply a primer for oily skin which will help to keep your skin supple and hydrated without clogging pores. After that, it’s time to apply a foundation for oily skin such as our Blot Powder/Pressed, which controls oil while creating a silky finish. Mattifying powders are great for soaking up any excess oil, for a look that’s satiny rather than shiny.

The MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation is a specially formulated foundation for oily skin that can control shine for 12 hours. It gives the skin an ultra-matte finish while allowing it to breathe. To find a shade that’s right for you, use our Foundation Finder.

Primers are great for oily skin because they provide hydration while helping to reduce shine and minimise pores. It’s the secret weapon in every professional makeup artist’s toolkit.

If you’re looking for the best primer for oily skin, our PREP + PRIME FIX+ MATTE is a lightweight mattifying spray that controls oil while refreshing the skin.
