Oily Skin Hack
Dealing with oily skin and wanting to look glowy, not oily? Apply Mattify ULTRA Powder underneath foundation as your first line of defense against oil!
This oil-control blend provides a satiny, blurred finish while preventing foundation from being ruined by facial oil.
Best of all, it's talc-free, silicone-free, and does not contain mica; which means no fear of clogged pores.
BEFORE applying foundation or eye shadow, use a fluffy powder brush to apply Mattify ULTRA over your entire face (including eye lids!) This powder is transparent, so it will not interfere with your other makeup products. It becomes invisible upon blending.
Proceed to apply foundation, eye shadow, blush, and highlighter as usual. The ULTRA Powder acts as an oil-control primer base, allowing all makeup to be longer lasting.

Oil-Control Makeup Solutions, for Your Best Wedding Makeup Looks
Trends come and go, flying faster than you can scroll TikTok – but some classic makeup mainstays are here to stay, and with good reason.
When you’re looking to achieve a perfect wedding makeup look, it can be challenging if you have oily skin. Not only does a greasy complexion look reflective in photos, but it also ensures that your makeup will streak, fade and transfer. You can prevent this tragedy, by using a quality setting powder as your base, and finisher.
#1
First off, Mattify ULTRA functions as both an oil-control primer AND a setting powder. This means you get double the oil control from 1 singular product. Not only will it help prevent makeup from streaking and smudging, it also protects pores from clogging due to heavy foundations and concealers.
PRO TIP: Avoid liquid primers if you have oily, acne prone skin. The common ingredients (especially dimethicone) are intended to create a smooth finish - but they end up trapping dirt, oil, and makeup deep inside pores. This inevitably leads to blackheads and acne in the following days. Don’t let your wedding makeup trigger mass breakouts for your honeymoon!

Second, ULTRA Powder blurs pores without smothering them, for a fresh natural matte finish. It adds no color or texture to your skin, as to not look heavy or thick, since it contains no Talc. Applied with a fluffy powder brush, it will give you the airbrushed finish of your dreams!

Third, ULTRA Powder is long lasting and does not become saturated by skin oils quickly. With specialized ingredients designed to absorb 3x its weight in oil, you will see a noticeable difference using this product VS common face powders that claim oil control. Very oily skin types report having to blot within ½ hour of using other transparent powders, but with ULTRA Powder can go nearly 2 hours before shine even begins to peek through.
#4
Fourth, ULTRA Powder does not cause photo flash back! Long a nightmare of brides and bridesmaids, ULTRA Powder will not cause you to have an obnoxious blotchy-white complexion. The ingredients which cause flash-back are Titanium Oxide and Zinc Oxide. They are often found in sunscreen, and have a thick white consistency. While ULTRA Powder does contain Titanium Oxide, it is only present at the dispersion of 3%, not nearly enough to cause flash-back. In addition, the formula is finely milled and sifted, resulting in a light weight face powder.
PRO TIP: For added resistance to makeup-meltdown, especially if your wedding will be on a hot day, apply a makeup setting spray once all of your makeup is in place. Professional makeup artists never skip this step, especially for big events! We are a distributor of Ben Nye Final Seal, which is used by theater production companies whose clients spend all day under hot makeup-melting lights. It feels light weight, dries quickly, and helps makeup last for 8+ hours. An alternate makeup setting spray to try is Urban Decay Ultra Matte, which is also good for oily skin types.
ADDED BONUS:
Even men in the wedding party can use ULTRA Powder if they are worried about shine in photos! This powder goes on clear and is completely undetectable. It acts as invisible shine control for anybody with oily skin!
The Secret of Targeted Shine.
Just because you want shine control for your wedding makeup look doesn’t mean it has to be boring!
Sometimes matte powder can look a bit flat, and for the best pictures, you want to add angular definition to your face with highlighter and contouring bronzer. This can include lifted cheekbones, a more slender nose, a shorter forehead, and a defined jaw line. Don’t forget to add some sparkle to the center of your eye lids, for a shimmering glow.
You can search online to find specific contouring tutorials based on your face shape, but this image below serves as a basic guide.
Some people with oily skin also suffer breakouts, often on the forehead or chin. If this is the case, NEVER place highlighter on top of a breakout! It will only accentuate the bump, calling attention to what you are trying to hide.
PRO TIP:
To hide a blemish, strategically place a tiny dot of concealer (1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone) directly under the blemish. Pat until blended. This conceals the shadow created by the raised blemish, and in turn makes it look smaller.
*After your foundation is in place, never place concealer directly on top of an acne breakout, as it will only make it stand out.
