Hey Ya'll!
With hot weather approaching (maybe, maybe not... Global Warming is real y'all) I wanted
to share my Summer foundation routine for controlling my inner grease ball.
I tend to be extremely oily in the warmer/ humid months and have found some rideor die products along the way.
All of these products except the setting spray I've been using for years and swear by!
In this little run down of my routine/ must-haves, I'll be sharing my go-to moisturizer, foundation, bb cream, powder, and setting spray, ALL FOR THAT OIL, along with tips for staying shine free throughout the day... You're welcome.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
-
This moisturizer is geared towards people with combo oily to oily skin.
It's an oil-free product (which is important if you're already oily) and will reduce & suck up your oil production as well as give you an instantly matte base.
I think this is crucial as a sort of "primer" before my foundation. For me, it's like a moisturizer and primer all in 1. (The less products the better!)
I definitely get more oily if I don't use it.
Clinique Stay Matte Foundation in "19 Sand"
-
I really love this foundation!
This combined with the moisturizer will keep me matte for pretty much an entire day & night.
My only gripe, it's a bit thick for my preference & difficult to apply soooo I mix it with my
bb cream to thin it out.
This makes it much easier to apply with my beauty sponge and it also doesn't appear cakey.
(Anyone know why they call it cakey? It doesn't look at all like cake, but there's layers to that shit! haha Omg is that way it's called that?? MAYBE! Cakey isn't what ya want, but actual cake, I could go for that. Yum)
Garnier Combo to Oily BB Cream "Medium to Deep"
-
My holy grail!!!
The lighter shade is all that I wear usually during the winter.
I mix this with my Clinique foundation for a few reasons...
It thins the Clinique out, the bb has SPF, and together they're my perfect summer color.
Dreams do come true you guys!
Neutrogena Shine Control Translucent Pressed Powder
-
I use this to set my foundation as well as a touch-up powder for throughout the day.
This powder has "rice protein" and while I'm not totally sure what that is, I'm convinced it's a miracle product sent from the heavens.
I've tried other powders such as the Maybelline Matte + Poreless, but this is my fave for years.
ULTA Beauty Matte Setting Spray
-
I picked this up during the winter simply because it said "matte" and had good reviews.
Ulta brand products are usually buy 2, get 2 free, what a steal!
The first couple times I used it I wasn't sold on it and was convinced that they're big fat liars because it actually seemed to make me oilier than before, but after trial and error I've discovered that it has to be applied very sparingly to be effective.
I do maybe 3 sprays to cover my face and no lie, I am matte for the day!
Now, I'm obsessed.
It's a great price and it smells good!
I'm really looking forward to drowning myself in it this Summer.
Additional Tips:
- Be sure to set that t-zone especially!
- Don't pack a ton of heavy products on your face.
- Use powder products rather than cream.
- If you want to do highlight, don't add any near balls of cheeks, forehead, etc
it will just accentuate your shininess.
- Use oil- free products and products that mattify or control shine/ oil.
- If you have oily eyelids, be sure to use a lid primer to make your eye shadow last.
Other Face Products I Love During The Summer:

ANY peach lipstick or gloss! Give me them all
Nars blush in "Orgasm"
