Hi, I'm Ashley, and I'm a Makeup Artist. Today, I'm going to show you how to apply natural makeup for oily skin. This is for anyone who has problem with shine, acne or enlarge pores; this will be perfect for you. The first item you'll need is your foundation. You want to find a foundation that has no shine to it and that's called a matte. The next item you'll need is a concealer and this will cover any imperfections. The next item you'll need is a sheer powder. This will eliminate any shine. You'll also need a large bristled foundation brush; one that preferably has a medium coverage. And last, you'll need your concealer brush. This is a wide paddled brush so you can cover a larger area. First, you'll need your foundation and you're just going to tap a small amount onto the lid. Next, swirl your large bristled brush into the lid and tap off the excess. You're going to start on the outside of your face and apply in swirl motions. I would suggest to apply two to three light layers when using a mineral powder. Next, you'll need your concealer and you'll need to tap a small amount into the lid. Now, take your large paddle concealer brush and conceal any areas that need to be covered. This is great for any red areas or breakouts especially on the chin and around the nose. Also under the eyes. Remember to use light strokes to keep your makeup from looking too cakey. Last, you'll need your sheer powder. Go ahead and tap that into the lid and we're going to take your large bristled brush and swirl into the lid, work it into the bristles and apply that all over the face. Now, the sheer powder can be added to eliminate any shine, minimize your pores and also set your makeup. This will keep your makeup on a lot longer throughout the day. And that's how you apply natural makeup for oily skin. If you feel like you need a touch-up, your sheer powder will do the job. Thanks for watching.
