The Best Foundation for Oily Skin

Hey all you beautiful, oily-skinned ladies! If you haven't already discovered it, I'm here to tell you about a miracle liquid foundation for you - Tarte's Amazonian Clay foundation. Here it is:


I have really oily skin, and I used to think I couldn't wear liquid foundation because of it. Powder just wasn't doing it for me; I wanted something with a little bit more coverage than that. When I started working at Ulta, one of my coworkers suggested this to me, and it is fantastic. It claims to be medium to full coverage, but I think you can get a sheer coverage out of it too if you put it on thinly enough or mix it with a bit of your face moisturizer. It's also buildable, so you really can get a full coverage out of it too.

I think it goes on great and doesn't make my skin any oilier than it already is. Personally I top it off with Matte Maker by Laura Geller to keep away the shine. It's a compact translucent powder to finish everything off (I also use powder foundation over my Tarte foundation for a little extra coverage).

If you want to know everything I wear to combat my oily skin, let me know! I've been trying to control it for years, so I have lots of tips and tricks that I've fine-tuned!

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil. I'm sure you've heard a lot about it, because I know I have. I haven't used up until now though. I just picked up a jar for nine dollars the other day. This is what I got.




Now you can use coconut oil for cooking, but I bought it for my hair. The first time I used it, I slathered all over my hair (roots to tips) about a half hour to an hour before I took a shower. It took a little work to get it all out (I shampooed two or three times before it came out - I use the hydrating Moroccan Oil shampoo now), but it was absolutely worth it. My hair felt like butter after it dried. The stuff is amazing. You can use it as a lotion too. Also, it works great for lips as well (the kicker - it tastes great, and it's supposed to be pretty healthy for you too). I also use it as a leave-in treatment for my ends between washes. I wash my hair once every two, maybe three days, and if I notice that it feels a little dry between washes, I'll rub a bit of it onto the ends. Don't put too much on though; it's very oily. I also try and put it on a little thicker before every shower as well, though I don't think your hair always needs it from root to tip.

It's great stuff, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who feels like their hair needs a little extra work. It's cheap, and it's natural. I love it!
