Comfortable on the skin, designed for Indian weather, and highly-pigmented — what else could one want from their blush for oily skin? 

But if you’re still confused about everything you need to keep in mind when buying the best blush for oily skin, here are 3 factors to remember: 

1. Find an oil-free formula. For us, who are accustomed to the humid Indian weather, it is essential to find a lightweight, oil-free formula that suits our oily skin and lasts throughout the day. Try to look for blushes specifically designed for oily skin to get the best results. 

2. Pick your desired finish before you pick your blush. Want a matte look or a dewy one? It all depends just as much on your blush as it does on the rest of your makeup products. Some liquid blushes settle into a matte finish, and some leave behind a dewy finish, so pick what you want before finally adding it to your cart. 

3. Choose the right shade of blush. The right shade can make all the difference in the world when applying it, especially on oily skin. Oily skin can make the wrong shade look more patchy and heavy than it is. So pick the right shade and formula to get the desired look. Also, pick a colour that will not take away from natural skin tone, but rather complement it. 

Got your liquid blush for oily skin, now here’s a step-by-step guide to applying it perfectly: 

Step 1 - Primer 

Start with clean, moisturised skin and use a mattifying primer to create a smooth base. 

Step 2 - Foundation & Concealer 

Apply your foundation and concealer, then apply powder on the T-zone and cheeks to prevent unnecessary shine. 

Step 3 - Blush 

Apply 1 or 2 tiny dots of liquid blush on your cheeks, or you can even deposit the product on the back of your hand and apply from there. Use a damp beauty blender or a brush to blend the product. Move in an upward and outward motion. Blend well to prevent patchiness. Add more colour if needed, 1 dot at a time. 

Step 4 - Setting Powder 

Use a translucent setting powder over the blush and any other areas that tend to get very oily. This will help lock in the colour & mattify any unnecessary shine. 

Pro tips you should keep in mind: 

• You can even use a powder blush over the liquid blush to get the desired colour and set it in place for long hours. 

• Do not apply a lot at once; build gradually as you need, as oily skin can make heavy blush look botched & patchy very easily. 

• Apply creams and liquid-based products first, then set them with a powder to layer your makeup perfectly. 

• Use a damp beauty blender or a flat-top brush to blend your liquid blush for a seamless look and minimal product absorption. 

• Keep blotting paper handy to soak up excess oil. This will double as a quick way to touch up without actually adding setting powder to the mix, which can end up making your makeup look more cakey over time. 

Want to get more out of your liquid blush for oily skin? Here’s how you can do that: 

1. When using a shimmer-infused blush like Simply Nam’s new blush, use it on the high points of your face for it to double up as a highlighter. (Note: avoid areas with enlarged pores) 

2. Ditch the 2010s contour hack and switch to using your liquid blush to do the same job. This is like a softer way to contour your face and it also works as the blush draping technique. 

3. A liquid blush is never just a blush, its a whole makeup kit in one. Dot the product over the eyes to get a subtle eyeshadow look; or use it as a lip tint to create a monotone look.
