If you’re dealing with acne prone skin, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with oily skin too.
When I get asked, ‘What’s a good concealer for oily skin?’, the unspoken understanding is that the asker also wants something that covers acne blemishes and scars.
Today, I’m going to take you through the best concealers for oily and acne prone skin to deliver the coverage you’re looking for without making things worse.
I’m also going to share some of my favourite concealer hacks throughout to get you looking immaculate.
Before we get started, let’s cover the basics of how to choose a concealer for oily skin. In brief, you want a long-wearing product that sets to a matte finish.
This ensures longevity on the skin. When your natural oils come through, they’ll be less obvious and won’t move the product around.
One of the best concealer hacks when it comes to covering acne on oily-prone skin is to let your concealer dry for about a minute before you blend it out.
This lets the formula thicken ever so slightly to give you maximum coverage.
