How to Choose Oil-Control Foundation for a Flawless, Shine-Free Finish That Lasts All Day!

Ugh! For those of us with oily skin, we totally understand how much of a challenge makeup can be! 😭 When exposed to heat or after a few hours, the face starts producing a lot of oil, causing foundation to smudge, oxidize, and streak easily. So, when choosing foundation for oily skin, it’s not just about matching the color; you have to pay special attention to the Formula and the Finish to keep your skin looking beautiful, matte, and your makeup long-lasting all day!

1. The Formula Must Pass! (Formula) Focus ONLY on "Oil-Free"! 🙅

For my fellow oily-skinned friends, the first thing to check for is the term "Oil-Free" and "Non-Comedogenic" printed on the bottle.

Oil-Free: Naturally! If we use oil-based foundation, it's like adding extra oil to our skin. The face will get shiny and melt off much faster. Oil-free formulas are the hero here!

Non-Comedogenic: Oily skin is often acne-prone, so choosing a non-comedogenic product that won't clog pores will significantly reduce issues with breakouts.

2. The Right Finish: "Matte" is the Final Answer! 💯

The Finish is the look you achieve after applying the foundation. For foundation for oily skin, you must aim for a Matte Finish! It keeps the skin looking shine-free, effectively controlling oil for a long time. If you don't like an entirely dry matte, a Semi-Matte/Natural Finish can also work.

🚨 Warning, Girlfriends: Avoid Dewy or Hydrating formulas entirely! They will only make your face look overly glossy and melt down quicker.

3. Secret Ingredients for Oil Control 🪄

When selecting an oil-controlling foundation, try to look for ingredients that absorb oil, such as Silica or Clay. These are crucial components that help soak up excess sebum, leaving your face looking flawless!

4. Foundation Forms We Deserve 👯

Matte Liquid Foundation: This is the most popular choice because it’s easy to blend and offers customizable coverage.

Powder Foundation: If you're in a rush and want a light feel but still need excellent oil control, this is the answer!

5. An Example We Love! 👇

If you're looking for an oil-controlling foundation that is both affordable and reliable, check out KMA Water Resist Liquid Foundation! It's a water- and sweat-resistant formula, perfect for our climate. It keeps the skin matte, lasts long, and prevents streaking throughout the day fantastic!

6. Skin Prep Trick: The Better the Prep, the Longer it Lasts! ⏳

No matter how good the foundation is, skin preparation is vital!

Use an Oil-Control Primer: Before applying foundation, put on an oil-control or pore-blurring primer. I recommend the KMA Secret Poreless Skin Primer it does an amazing job of concealing pores!

KMA Transparent Loose Powder - KMA
Set with Powder: Once the foundation is applied, don't forget to set it with a translucent loose powder! Use KMA Transparent Loose Powder, pressing it lightly, especially on the T-Zone. This will lock the foundation in place and prevent it from melting all day long.

Choosing the right oil-controlling foundation will help us achieve a beautiful, matte complexion without constantly having to blot our faces! You got this, friend! 🥰

Cleansing balms are becoming increasingly popular, especially among Gen Y-Z who want skincare that’s clean, gentle, easy to use, and delivers real results.But the real questions are…Why is a cleansing balm better than other cleansers?And which skin types does it suit best? Here are the five reasons cleansing balms have become a must-have for anyone who wears makeup or sunscreen daily plus a gentle formula perfect for sensitive skin. 1. Cleansing Balms Melt Heavy Makeup Better And Faster One of the top reasons people switch to cleansing balms is because the balm texture contains oils that bind perfectly with makeup particles. This allows them to break down stubborn makeup more effectively than other cleansing types. What makes it superior: Quickly melts waterproof foundation and long-wear makeup Easily removes matte, long-lasting lipsticks No harsh rubbing, no skin damage Reduces the need for cotton pads → less friction on the skin Ideal for heavy makeup users and long-wear formulas 2.

Some cleansers can weaken it especially those with alcohol or strong surfactants. Most cleansing balms are alcohol-free and formulated to maintain skin moisture, making them a safer option. Gentle benefits: No dryness or tightness Less irritation Supports and protects the skin barrier Reduces long-term clogged pores Perfect for sensitive, dry, easily irritated skin or anyone who washes their face often. 3. Provides Moisture From the Very First Step Here’s something many people don’t know: cleansing balms leave your skin soft, hydrated, and comfortable right after rinsing like a light moisturizer coating the skin. Compared to cleansing waters or foams: Won’t strip natural moisture No dryness after washing Ideal for very dry or dehydrated skin If you wear makeup every day, a balm is the first step to restoring skin hydration while cleansing. 4. Perfect for Double Cleansing Routines If you wear sunscreen or makeup daily, double cleansing is essential. One cleanse is rarely enough. A proper double cleansing routine:1️⃣ Cleansing Balm – removes makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil2️⃣ Facial Foam – removes leftover residue and deep-clean pores This method helps reduce congestion, minimize breakouts, and leaves the skin thoroughly clean. 5. Easy to Use, Travel-Friendly, and Mess-Free One of the biggest advantages of cleansing balm is the solid texture no spills, no leaks, no mess. Perfect for traveling or keeping in your beauty bag. How to use: Apply to dry skin Massage until the balm melts into an oil Add water to emulsify into a milky texture Rinse off effortlessly Great for those who want cleansing that’s clean, simple, and hassle-free.

The KMA Water Resist Liquid Foundation is well-known for its excellent water- and sweat-resistant and oil-control properties, making it ideal for the hot and humid climate of Thailand. However, to achieve the most flawless complexion, selecting the foundation shade that perfectly matches your real skin tone is essential. KMA understands the diversity of Thai skin, designing 6 core shades, ranging from fair skin with pink undertones to honey-colored skin. What Skin Type is KMA Water Resist Suitable For? And When to Use It? This foundation was developed specifically to meet the skin and climate needs of Thailand, focusing on high coverage and long-wear: Suitable Skin Types: Oily / Combination Skin: Best suited, as the formula offers excellent oil control (up to 12 hours) and provides a Soft Matte finish, preventing makeup from melting. Normal Skin: Works well, providing a perfectly flawless and long-lasting finish, but maintain your usual skincare routine. Dry Skin: If you want to use it, you should focus on preparing the skin with extra moisturizing primer and moisturizer to prevent the foundation from clinging to dry patches or creasing. Before Choosing: Confirm Your "Undertone"! 💡 Knowing your skin's undertone helps you choose a foundation color that blends seamlessly without looking gray or overly yellow: Cool (Cool/Pink undertone): Veins in the wrist area are usually blue/purple. Warm (Warm/Yellow undertone): Veins in the wrist area are usually green. Neutral (Neutral undertone): Veins appear a mix of green and blue, allowing you to use foundations with both pink and yellow tones. KMA Water Resist Foundation 6 Shades Guide 00: Porcelain: Brightest fair skin. Best for Very fair skin, Cool tone (pink undertone). 01: Vanilla: Natural fair skin. Best for Generally fair skin, Neutral to Warm tone (natural). 02: Nude: Fair-yellow skin. Best for Fair skin with a distinctly Yellow undertone. 04: Natural Beige: Natural skin tone with yellow undertone. Best for Common flesh-tone skin in Thailand, Warm tone. 06: Warm Sand: Tan skin. Best for Skin one level darker, with warmth. 07: Soft Tan: Honey skin tone. Best for Dark skin or tan skin, Deep Warm tone. Pro Technique to Choose the "Perfect" Shade and Avoid an Ashy Look Test on the Jawline: The best method is to swatch 2-3 shades that you think are close to your skin tone directly onto your jawline (where the face meets the neck). Wait for Setting: Oil-control formulas often have a slight color shift (Oxidize) when reacting with the skin's natural oils and air. You should leave the swatches on for 10-15 minutes and then check the color again. The Correct Shade is... The color that disappears into and blends the most seamlessly with the color of your neck. That is the foundation shade that will be long-lasting and make your skin look beautifully natural. With these 6 carefully designed foundation shades, you are guaranteed to find the KMA Water Resist Liquid Foundation that matches your skin perfectly, giving you a flawless complexion that defies sun and sweat all day long.
