Using face oil during the day can be intimidating — after all, no one wants their makeup to look greasy. But for just a moment, we urge you to put your concerns aside because layering a hydrating oil under your foundation can actually provide a radiant, lit-from-within look that no single makeup product can match on its own. This beauty hack is especially useful if you have a dry complexion. To help you find the best face oil to use under foundation, we’re rounding up our favorite non-greasy options that will have your skin glowing in no time.
Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate
Made of ginger root, sunflower and tamanu oils, this concentrate helps clear away pollutants. It also makes the skin appear more youthful and radiant. Plus, makeup glides right over top, too, making it the perfect way to prime your face before foundation.
Having hydrated and supple skin makes a world of difference when you’re applying foundation. Don’t believe us? Apply this product, which is formulated with a mix of argan, jojoba and coconut oils, before your foundation to create a smooth base, and prepare to be amazed by the difference. You can also mix a bit of the oil in with your foundation for an even glowier finish.
Nyakio Marula & Neroli Brightening Oil
This Nyakio brightening oil will forever change the way your makeup looks throughout the day. It works to condition the skin and even out any patchy spots, in addition to increasing your glow with vitamin C.
Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Supreme Recovery Oil
Crema Nera is the ultimate anti-aging face oil for priming your skin for makeup. This splurge-worthy product is non-greasy, nourishes the skin and works to moisturize every crevice and dry patch. Use it before foundation for long-lasting hydration and at night to seal in moisture while you sleep.
Maya Chia The Super Couple, Ultra Luxe Face Oil Serum
If getting glowing skin is your mission, this face oil will definitely get the job done. Formulated with chia seed oil, omega fatty acids, antioxidants and astaxanthin, the anti-aging formula will wake up your skin, combat dullness and give a glowy finish that radiates through makeup.
Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Oil
For a product that works just as well in your gua sha routine as it does under makeup, we suggest this Youth to the People option. It’s fast-absorbing and non-greasy but still leaves skin feeling supple, soft and hydrated. Feel free to layer it under foundation or mix it in with your coverage before application.
