5 Matte Makeup Products to Shine-Proof Your Skin This Summer

When it’s 40 degrees Celsius outside, a shiny complexion may feel unavoidable. If you’re repeatedly excusing yourself to reapply your makeup in the powder room, consider incorporating some heavy-duty mattifying tools into your beauty regime to effectively shine-proof your face.

To avoid and combat oil build up, start by patting a sparse amount of Becca’s Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector™ over freshly cleansed skin. Focus on your problem areas including the forehead, cheeks, and chin. The humidity resistant formula can be used in lieu of blotting paper, and ensures that your makeup will stay put on a steamy day.

Next, use a foundation stippling brush to apply the Nars Velvet Matte Skin Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 30. This budge-proof tinted moisturizer provides flawless coverage, dries matte, and includes an SPF of 30, meaning you can forego the sticky sunscreen.

Next, spritz Urban Decay’s All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray (Kylie Jenner’s personal favorite) for good measure.

Throughout the day, should you still feel a shine creeping onto your T-zone, do like Beyoncé’s makeup artist and press a tissue over the center of your forehead, lightly peel it off, and then we advise you apply the bareMinerals Mineral Veil. This simple trick will prevent your makeup from caking.

Those who require touchups throughout the day can reach for the Benefit Cosmetics the Porefessional: License to Blot and slick it along the T-zone to instantly camouflage oil and sweat.
