Singapore is humid and sunny all year round, so it's no surprise that many of us have an oily skin type.

If you love applying makeup but hate that it all melts away under the hot weather once you step out of your home, you need to use products that can improve the look and longevity of your makeup.

Read on to find out more about the makeup products you should be using if you have oily skin!

Having to look for a foundation that is natural-looking and lightweight but provides coverage and is long wearing all at the same time sounds difficult.

However, this foundation by NARS does the job! It is a foundation that provides up to 16 hours of coverage while smoothening the look of your skin.

It is important to choose a foundation that lasts long for those with oily skin otherwise your skin will look cakey and shiny!

Do you find your eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara constantly smudging around your eye area? That's because of your oily eyelids!

Using an eye primer before applying any eye makeup would do the trick.

Fenty Beauty's eye primer is weightless and enhances the colour of your eyeshadow. It also prevents your eye makeup from creasing and smudging.

Notice how the model's skin is glowing but doesn't look oily? You can achieve the same look with a powder highlighter.

If you have been using cream or liquid highlighters, stop using them now and change to a powder one. Powder helps to control sebum so you can achieve glowing skin without looking like a greaseball! ?
