Back again with another round of must-haves for oily skin!
If your makeup tends to slide off or get shiny halfway through the day, a good primer can truly make all the difference. Here are some tried-and-true favorites that smooth, blur, and keep everything in place!
1. Iconic London Underglow Primer
At first, a serum-style primer sounds like it would add too much shine, but it actually does the opposite. It creates a soft, blurred effect and dries down to a natural soft-matte glow. It feels lightweight, isn’t greasy, and works beautifully as a base for both light and full coverage makeup.
2. One/Size Secure the Blur Primer
For everyday use, this primer is a real standout. It grips onto makeup so well that foundation and skin tints stay locked in all day without separating or pilling. The texture smooths over pores and uneven spots, leaving a velvety canvas that makes applying makeup easier and more flawless. If you need something reliable for daily wear, this one is worth keeping in your routine.
3. Rare Beauty Pore Diffusing Primer
This was an early hit when Rare Beauty first launched, and it’s still a strong contender. Even a mini size lasts a long time since a little goes a long way. It provides pore-filling power that really shows under foundation, making skin look more even and refined. Compared to the One/Size primer, this one offers slightly more pore coverage, while still keeping skin smooth and shine under control.
Each of these primers tackles oily skin in its own way—whether it’s the natural matte glow from Iconic London, the long-lasting grip of One/Size, or the pore-blurring effect of Rare Beauty. Pairing them with the right foundation can mean fewer touch-ups and a shine-free finish that lasts all day!
