Choosing the right powder for oily skin is not an easy task. After all, it should not only hide imperfections and even out the tone. Its function also includes mattifying the skin, but at the same time not drying it, not clogging pores and staying strong throughout the day. All these parameters are met by the powders presented in this article – the best, according to the editors of Healthy-Food.
Types of powder for oily skin
To muffle the greasy shine, they used to actively use talc powder and even powdered their face with baby powder. To be honest, this is not the best face powder for oily skin. Talc does have a mattifying effect, but it can clog pores. Modern matting powder for oily skin does not have this drawback.
The form of powder release has not changed much in recent years – in contrast to the composition, quality and texture.
Powder for oily skin with enlarged pores is based on mineral pigments.
Loose
Classics of the genre. Features a soft, airy texture. Apply with a powder puff, kabuki brush or simply with a cotton pad. The last method is the least pleasant from a tactile point of view, but the most hygienic, which is especially important for oily skin prone to rashes.
compact
Compact powder can always be carried with you to quickly touch up makeup at any time under any circumstances. This quality is especially appreciated by the owners of oily skin, who have to repeatedly powder their nose during the day, especially in summer in hot weather.
Before touching a shiny nose or forehead with a powder sponge, blot the skin with a mattifying cloth. So you immediately remove the greasy shine, and the powder will lie more evenly and will hold on better.

Thanks to its plastic texture, the product is easily distributed over the skin, has good covering ability, smoothes microrelief and enlarged pores, but at the same time looks natural on the face.

How to choose a powder for oily skin
The choice of variety depends on personal preferences and habits. Some like the crumbly texture, others like the compactness. Someone likes to apply powder with a brush, and someone likes with a sponge.
The main thing is that the packaging should be written Matte или Mattifying, that is, “matting” – in other words, having the ability to absorb sebum and neutralize oily sheen for a long time. But powder with shining particles is not suitable for oily skin.
Choose a powder with a mattifying effect.
“Choose a shade that matches your complexion or one tone lighter, then the mineral powder will look transparent, providing a matte finish. If you need to even out skin tone, mask pimples and enlarged pores, then it is better to use a tinting agent, and apply mineral powder over the tone. This will prolong the durability of makeup, maintain matteness and prevent powder from shedding. ” Marina Kamanina, L’Oreal Paris
