What makeup primer do you suggest for oily prone skin

Questions:

This is a great segment! I have noticed that as I age, my skin has undergone changes. I have become more oily than usual and I have been investing in skin products that are supposed to minimize this. However, when I wear make-up, I still need a primer.

I would like to ask what make-up primer you can suggest for me. Aside from being oily, I also live in a tropical country so I constantly have to battle? with the heat and humidity.

  • @maricarljanah part 3, makeup base(optional), and a light mineral powder. Through out the day, take a half of a tissue ply and lightly blot your T-Zone area, then powder if desired. If you are producing oil all over your face, then this? may be a condition that may require a Dermatologist. If only on your T-zone then those steps may help. I would like to discuss this more throughly via video response, if that is okay. Sometime within the week. Hope that helps! Beso
