Just because you have oily skin, it does not mean that you have to roam around without makeup. In fact, if anyone tells you this, it is a blatant lie. You should make an effort to look for foundation and loose powders.

Using a makeup primer will help to keep the oiliness away for hours and you will be glad to see that your makeup is in place. In addition, applying loose powders right through the day will make your makeup look fresh and they also help in absorbing the excess oiliness from the skin.

However, a common problem with oily skin is the makeup getting patchy at the forehead, nose and chin because these are problem areas of the face. It is these areas that tend to get very oily. Now you do not have worry about these areas while wearing makeup. All you need to do is apply a little cucumber juice on these areas, allow the juice to dry thoroughly and then sit down and apply your makeup.

For women who suffer like I do, whenever I put on makeup it turns patchy after a few hours. This is a pain and an embarrassment. But I have discovered that if I use equal part of lime juice and witch-hazel, it does wonders for my face. The trick is letting this concoction dry completely on your face before attempting to apply any makeup.

So, who says that women with oily skin should not wear makeup?
