Top 8: Best Makeup for Oily Acne Prone Skin Available in India with Reviews and Prices
By Contributor: Uzma
I Wake up for Make up! But all Swag will fall into pieces if your perfectly done make up turns into a blotchy-oil-dripping-scary-face as you reach your destination. Oh, I am sorry; I just wrote my autobiography there. If you find it familiar then here are some of the best tried and tested products for acne prone oily skin which are available in India one each from a high end and drug store brand. Acne prone skin should always be very careful about ingredients in the makeup, as their skin is already sensitive. Cosmetics which have terms like ‘Dermatologist tested’ and ‘Ophthalmologist tested’ are made for oily skin. The wrong makeup will cause acne and break outs.
Heavy makeup is a big no-no. Make up should be water based. Why don’t you take some tips from my privately researched piece of wondrous make up? Always pay attention to the ingredients. And better if you read the reviews on VNA before buying anything!

Foundations are usually heavy in nature so make sure you use one which is water based and ophthalmologist tested. It would be better to go without foundation ( a little concealer on problem areas goes a long way). But there are days when you just can’t do without your foundation. For those days I’m listing these foundations:

They take care of our unwanted zits which appear Only on the most Important occasions of my life. FML!! I’m listing two of my best friends one each from Drug store and High end brand.

COMPACT
I’m cursed with oily skin which is sensitive. Don’t even try giving me lecture about ‘boons’ of oily skin. I hate everyone a little more in summers, including my skin. So, my another best friend is a Compact. No matter how many matte products I use, Compact application is a must for me whatsoever.
Maybelline Dream Matte Pressed Powder:
A lovely pocket friendly face powder, which not only gives an oil free look but also gives an air-soft matte smoothness to the skin.
