No matter how many beauty tutorials you study like a college mid-term or makeup palettes you collect at Sephora, one thing really matters. All that knowledge and product goes to waste if your oily skin looks slick enough for tiny little elves to go sledding off the bridge of your nose. Having a glow is one thing. Having a high-shine of oil is something else entirely unwanted. Here are some shine-crushing mattifying products that work overtime to keep your naturally-occuring oil slick at bay so your newly-acquired makeup skills and hundred-dollar makeup gets the attention it rightfully deserves.

Dermablend

Now here’s one amazing beauty product for every beautiful lady with skin. Dermablend loose setting powder is a brilliant option you can trust; I mean, you definitely have to add this to your daily makeup routine. It’s a translucent and lightweight powder that perfectly halts smudging and mattifies your complexion evenly. It keeps all the makeup locked on for as long as 16 hours.

Dermablend is a vegan formula that is free from ingredients gotten from animals and it is developed to accommodate sensitive skin types.

This is an excellent option for photos and video because you can reapply as needed without looking like a pancake face.

MattEffect Blotting Perfector

Looks like someone is taking cues from Korean beauty with a cushion of their own!

A liquid matte that dries up to mattify your complexion without making your face feel dry or rough, Murad’s Mattffect Blotting Perfector is another superior mattifier. It’s a multifunctional skincare product with a long-lasting effects that keep the shine regulated for up to 8 hours. It soaks up the excess oil from the face without tweaking your makeup. Goes on slightly damp and dries to a matte finish.

It contains essential extracts like marshmallow powder that selectively absorbs sebum from the face without hampering your face’s natural moisture to prevent hydration; pomegranate extracts that acts as a strong natural antioxidant, and French green clay extracts that detoxifies the skin and absorbs excess oil. 

Here’s how to use it: Press the applicator gently over the face and be a bit generous around the areas that tend to be oily.

AutoMatte Mattifying Base & Touch-Up

If you’re searching for a brilliant skincare product that will soak up excess oil from your face and yet will not make your skin feel caky or cause outbreaks then here’s a great option you should consider. Viel Cosmetics Automatte Mattifying Base and Touch-Up skin smoother.  It perfectly mattifies your skin and takes away the excess oil that makes your face shine without leaving a drying effect behind. 

This no-powder matte formula zaps the shine and also serves as a great primer. It can also be worn alone to smooth, eliminate shine, and blur large pores. This is my go-to favorite for when I’m out on location for photos.
