My makeup gets oily looking and I do have dry and oily skin. How do like get my makeup to not look sweaty a few hours after I put it on? I only wear foundation, bronzer, and blush on my face. My eye makeup doesn't do that. What can I do to fix it?

I’m going to assume that by your makeup looking ‘sweaty’ after a couple hours you mean oily, which a good number of people battle with after applying their makeup. Usually, people don’t get oily on their eyelids unless they have oily eyelids in the first place, which explains why you might not see the same sheen present on the rest of your face.

That said, a couple ways to fix it.
- Oil blotting sheets
- Setting your makeup with a finishing powder
- Using a mattifying primer before applying your makeup
- Making sure that your skincare routine before your makeup leaves your face moisturized enough, since overdrying the skin beforehand will make the face overproduce oil later in the day
- Make sure that the makeup you’re using doesn’t clog your pores (oil-free makeup is preferred as well)

Hope these suggestions help! (　＾∇＾)
