Moisturizer is something that your skin needs 365 days regardless of its type. Yes, you beauties with oily skin, trust us, you might think moisturizing is not for you, but it surely is! Keeping your skin hydrated will help in avoiding the excess oil secretion that might occur otherwise. Also, a good moisturizer creates a protective shield on your skin helping in providing a better base to work on. 

3. Use Mattifying Products

Using mattifying products will improve your chances of keeping your makeup intact in Delhi’s scorching & torrid weather. If you’re an oily skinned beauty then adding mattifying foundation, concealer, translucent powder and setting spray to your vanity can be a game-changer for you. We totes recommend adding brands like Maybelline, MAC and  L’Oreal Infallible to your vanity for a sunproof and gorg makeup look. 

4. Prime Before Applying Foundation

A primer not only helps you create a smooth base for your makeup products but also prevents your skin from sweating, thus, holding your makeup intact for longer. Apply a thin layer of primer on your face, let it sit for a minute, and then begin with your makeup. This will help you to keep your makeup undamaged for a long time. 

5. Carry Blotting Paper
