Last year I made a blog post that was very much appreciated, and therefore I now decided to make a favorite in replay and take new pictures of this :)
In this post I have made up half of my face with make-up that is adapted for dry skin (so not bad make-up, but not degrading either) and on the other half I have used mattifying make-up for oily skin.
And after just a few hours, the difference in the face halves was brutal!
The products for oily skin that I have used are mainly:
Face primer - Paese Makeup Base Matte
Foundation - Pixi H2O Skintint (Cream)
Dehydrating powders - Paese Bamboo Silk Powder
This foundation is also suitable for dry skin, but since it is a gel that sinks well into the skin, it is also great for oily skin as it does not make the skin shiny at all. In my last post about this, I had mineral foundation, and it's great too!
On the other half of the face I have used gloMinerals LUXE series, so those products are very good but adapted for normal / dry / mature skin.
Already after 30 minutes you could see the difference, the half with degrading make-up I still look freshly made-up on, while the other half is already starting to get a little oily.
AFTER FOUR HOURS:
And after four hours, the halves looked like this!
A little difference huh? ;)
After seven hours, the page with degrading makeup is a little greasy too, but that page is nothing compared to the page with regular makeup!
On the side with regular make-up, which here was super oily, you can also see that the eyeliner smeared more on the eyelid. This is due to the oil, a waterproof eyeliner is not oil resistant :)
I started by cleaning the whole face and applied the same day cream on both sides, so it is only thanks to the matte make-up that that side has stayed matte for so long.
Really difference :)
With degrading makeup, I still want to powder 1-2 times a day, but then I am as oily as I am without degrading makeup already after only 30 minutes, so it is an extreme difference.
As oily as I am on the side with ordinary make-up, I get oily even when I have no make-up, and then the eyelids become so oily that it flows into the eyes and starts to sting like attan, haha.
If you have any questions, as usual, just shout! :) ♥

Matting products are gold !!! I also have a combined t-zone so without matting primer and for my part oil-free foundation, I also get really oily! It simply does not help to just use the right custom skin care, you have to have the right products all the way.
Thanks for a great blog Helena, has taught me to put on such beautiful eye makeup thanks to you :)
I am really eager to try the primer, I have actually written it up on my list of future purchases :) But that is one thing I am thinking about. Is it if there is any point in using that bamboo powder if you run on powder foundation? And I do not get as oily as you, so I just need a little more degrading makeup.
It would have been a bit interesting to see with the same foundation on both sides, to really see what the primer and powder do :) Or maybe you did in last year's post? Can not remember and is too lazy to check: P
Yes indeed, I have to do it! :) There will definitely be a difference, but possibly not as big a difference as it is precisely these three components together (primer, foundation, powder) that keep the skin matte. If you choose one of them for the other side, I do not think it will be exactly as oily, but I actually do not know, must test! :)
Great post! Do you have any tips for choosing the right shade of gel?
It adapts well to the skin tone, so it does not have to be exactly the same tone but choose depending on how light / dark you are. Unfortunately, the darkest shade is also quite light (the only negative with Pixi, no shades for darker skin tones). I use the lightest on myself now, and the darkest suits them with a warm skin tone, much like a person with my skin tone goes abroad for a week. And the medium shade is a good middle ground if you are neither pale nor a little in the warm brown direction. But as I said, they adapt quite well because they are not comprehensive :)
wow! what a great post, fun to see the difference! I also have oily skin and experience such a big difference with the primer and powder you used, I use them in combination with. How to keep your eyelids from oiling. can I put the primer and powder there too? stings in my eyes also namely: - /
Absolutely! I use primer and powder all over my face, including the eyelids, and then if I want to put on more make-up, I also use eye shadow primer on top of it. The primer is great even when you are unmade, if you have problems with it stinging.
