admin My secret weapon? Primer. These days, many of the best makeup primers are designed to hydrate skin, to add glow and radiance, and to give skin a fresh, dewy finish. But if you have oily skin, then you probably want the exact opposite. The best primers for oily skin will mattify your complexion, reducing shine, preventing oil from disturbing your foundation, blurring the appearance of pores, and keeping your makeup locked in place from dawn ’til dusk.
The best formulas rely upon ingredients like silicones to create a physical barrier between makeup and skin, while creating a smooth canvas for makeup. What’s more, many primers for oily skin contain ingredients like niacinamide and salicylic acid, which help in the long term to control oil, reduce breakouts, and balance skin’s moisture levels.
I’ve tried and tested hundreds of primers over the years, so there’s no better person to share an ultimate list of the best primers for oily skin.
