Oily Skin? These 18 Concealers Belong on Your Radar

If you have oily skin, chances are you may struggle with finding the right concealer. You need an option that won’t slide around, will stay in place throughout the day, and ensure that you’ll stay matte — never shiny. Whether you’re looking for high coverage or a lightweight finish, the right concealer for your oily skin type is out there, with ingredients that can help absorb excess oil. Here, we’re sharing how and where to apply concealer on oily skin, plus the best eighteen concealers to try that will leave your skin looking matte, fresh and shine-free.

How to Apply Concealer

Applying concealer on oily skin is easy if you have the right products. Instead of rubbing concealer onto shiny or blemish-prone areas, apply a few dots of the product on places you want to cover and tap them in with your ring finger. The tapping motion will help the product sink into the skin and will more easily conceal pimples or large pores. Once tapped in, apply loose setting powder onto the area with a small fluffy brush — we love the Dermablend Translucent Loose Setting Powder to lock everything in place.

Where to Apply Concealer

If you have oily skin, you’ll want to apply concealer on any areas you get excess shine or oil — which may be on the T-Zone or around the nose. You can also apply it on areas you might have breakouts, like on the forehead, cheeks or jawline.
