I don't wear much make up and suffer from a really oily skin. I had my make up trial yesterday and looked unrecognisable, both my dad and h2b think I do my own better. so can anyone please recommend a brand of make up that won't 'melt' please?
younique foundation is amazing Kerry Gill x
I'd go into boots or somewhere and talk to a few make up companies and they'll be able to advise you on what's best and you try them out before parting with what can be a lot of money for make up x
Bare minerals has a powder range which is really good they may have someone who can come out to you
I'm a beauty therapist and have the most oily skin! This is the only product that's worked for me under make up to keep it in place x https://www.murad.co.uk/oil-control-mattifier-spf15
Mac airbrush. Bare minerals

As well as looking for a specific foundation an important place to start with oily skin is a specialist moisturiser. I am a Temple Spa consultant and often recommend moisture matte, one of our best selling moisturisers, as a great base for make up. It's a mattifiying moisturiser specifically for oily skin and doubles up as a primer. Micro sponges help to soak up excess oil produced throughout the day and it really helps your make up stay on. Smells wonderful and goes on like silk, too! A lot of the people I know that used a specific foundation for oily skin have scrapped the foundation, and now use this instead and then any make up they fancy on top. I do recommend a full oily skin skin care regime so if you want you can pm me about this as I have helped quite a few brides out with their wedding skin care, but happy to chat about this in specific as well xx
I did my own for that reason and used younique
If u normally don't wear much just do your own I didn't bother with the xtra expense of a make up artist. I've had a few chums who have n ended up looking like drag Queens. .. A good look for clubbing but not on your wedding day... do ur own. At least u know what u like n wat suits u.
Maybe try and get some testers of foundation and have a play about with them? I suffer from the same but found kat von d make up to be really good. Only problem is it's expensive but I use the foundation and use a powder on top, then set it with spray. Don't get shiny face but i like to top up with powder after about 12 hrs of wear.
Bare minerals is amazing for oily skin!
Dermologica do some amazing matte moisturisers and make up.
I have oily skin as well as dry skin (I know, go figure 🤦️) and they were the only thing I've found that balance it all out.
I am the same, but for my wedding I also used younique, and I did my own make up too, stayed on all day, worked a treat x
My makeup artist used nars sheer glow and it was that good I ended up switching to using it as my everyday foundation. It didn't budge all day. I'm not sure how it would react to oily skin, they have a thing on the website and it asks you questions about your skin and the tone etc and then recommend a product that suits. Xx
Go to the no7 ladies at boots.. they were fab! Really helpful, she did a (free) trial and then wrote the instructions that she did down for me x
thanks so much everyone, I'm going to go and get some samples
I suggest using a good primer or a matte moisturiser underneath any base make up. It always makes a huge difference! Make sure is a foundation that's not dewy. Have you thought about using a bb cream and setting powder? I prefer to use bb cream with concealer and setting powder as I have either very oily skin or very dry skin. Being a younique presenter I do use this brand. I feel like its great for all skin types. But you just have to try out what is out there until you find the one that works for you. Happy make up shopping!!
I use mineral powder, bare minerals to be exact. It goes fine with my skin. The other option is to find an artist who does air brush, its sweat/water resistant and doesn't rub off onto clothes etc. I did a wedding a couple of years ago, the hottest day of the year so far and the bride was 'melting' but her face wasn't
If you don't usually wear make up though you might find it abit heavy
Forgot to mention sheer cover is the foundation I use. Its not the cheapest but as i dont wear make up very often this looks nice n natural.. I'm quite pale and use med.
Bare minerals, it's natural and powder based so will keep u matte. My sister is a make up artist and uses it on a lot of brides x
My friend posted this The other day. I think with your oily skin you will find this very interesting. I'll put the photos in my comments. X
Use the primer by Smashbox. It kept my face shine-free all day and is really lightweight.
I use ncinc powders and find them excellent. Available on Amazon xx
I went with Estée Lauder double wear, its full coverage but I think you can get a lighter coverage too! I have to say I was concerned on the price but it's worth it! I actually tested it before I bought by having a sample (they give you a 10 day sample free at a counter if you ask) and I wore it from 7am in the morning, did my normal routing, bath etc and still perfect :) xx
Try Clinique I use it all the time and doesn't melt
Urban decay setting spray is a must on top of whatever u use xx
Im a younique presenter and our make up is amazing feel free to add me if you'd like me to give you more information id be happy to help xx
Illamasque is the best make up to wear for photos x
I used actiderm foundation for my make up and then used banana powder...stopped any shine and stayed on all day xx
Estee lauder double wear shouldn't budge, but I'm not sure it photographs well.
Don't use double wear unless you use the light it doesn't filter on photos so you always look ghost like! Urban decay setting spray is amazing!
Estée Lauder double wear
No7 beautifully matte is a good foundation from boots. With some powder ontop, I think it gives a good finish and good value
