Understanding Oily Skin and Its FOUNDATION Challenges

I think it’s beneficial to share a few keep points about oily shin and some of the makeup challenges that come along with it.

Characteristics of Oily Skin

Skin that produces too much sebum is considered oily. The excess oil can lead to a shiny and greasy appearance, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Oily skin types may also have larger pores, which can easily become clogged with dirt and makeup, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, and acne breakouts. Despite the drawbacks, one advantage of oily skin is that it tends to show fewer signs of aging due to the higher moisture content.

Common Makeup Issues Faced by Oily Skin Types

Oily skin presents a unique set of challenges when it comes to makeup application. Some of the most common issues include:

1. Excessive Shine: Oily skin tends to produce more oil throughout the day, causing makeup to break down and slide off the skin, resulting in a shiny and greasy complexion.
2. Foundation Oxidation: Oily skin can trigger a chemical reaction with certain foundation formulas, causing them to darken or oxidize after application, leading to a mismatched and unnatural-looking skin tone.
3. Poor Makeup Adherence: Makeup products may struggle to adhere properly to oily skin, leading to patchy and uneven coverage, and an overall unstable makeup base.
4. Clogged Pores: The excess sebum production can mix with makeup products, clogging pores and increasing the likelihood of acne breakouts.
5. Short Wear Time: Oily skin can cause makeup to fade quickly, necessitating frequent touch-ups throughout the day.
6. Difficulty Achieving a Matte Finish: While matte foundations are often recommended for oily skin, some formulas may end up looking cakey and settle into fine lines and pores.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Foundation

Selecting the appropriate foundation for oily skin is crucial to achieving a long-lasting and flawless makeup look. The right foundation should address the specific challenges faced by oily skin and provide the following benefits:

1. Oil Control: An effective foundation for oily skin should help regulate sebum production and keep shine at bay throughout the day.
2. Longevity: A long-wearing formula will ensure that the foundation stays in place and maintains its coverage without breaking down, even on the oiliest of skin types.
3. Non-Comedogenic: Non-comedogenic foundations are less likely to clog pores and contribute to acne breakouts, making them ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.
4. Transfer-Resistant: A transfer-resistant foundation will prevent makeup from smudging onto clothes or rubbing off on surfaces, keeping the skin looking fresh and clean.
5. Lightweight Texture: Opting for a lightweight foundation will prevent a heavy, cakey feeling and promote better adherence to the skin.
6. Matte Finish: A foundation that has a matte or semi-matte finish can help absorb excess oil and create a smooth, shine-free complexion.

By understanding the unique characteristics of oily skin and the makeup challenges it presents, you can make an informed decision when choosing a foundation that suits what you are looking for and helps you achieve a beautiful, long-lasting makeup look throughout the day.

With the right foundation and proper application techniques, you can overcome the challenges of oily skin and enjoy a flawless and radiant finish.

My shade is 130 Light Warm. I’m not going to lie, I was a bit confused by the way the shades were named.

Lo and behold, the shade is the perfect match for me.

I’m still a bit confused by the shading, but I’m happy I went with it.

I recommend visiting a Sephora store to try out the foundation if possible. This will allow you to see and choose the best shade for your skin.

My Experience – Haus Labs Foundation REVIEW

The time has come to share my honest thoughts on the Haus Labs foundation and how it performs on oily aging skin. Let’s dive in!

• My Shade 130 Light Warm
• Price $45
• Buy from the Haus Labs website or Sephora

Initial Impressions and Packaging

My first thought when I saw this foundation was dang, it looks high-end. And it really does!

The box it comes in is so sleek and minimalistic, which I am crazy about. I never knew a simple white box could look so chic!

The bottle the foundation comes in is flat-out gorgeous. It’s a frosted glass bottle with a silver cap. Again so simple and chic.

When you hold the bottle in your hand, it has some weight, making me feel like it’s super luxiorus and high-end.

Haus Labs nailed it with the packing on this foundation.

Overall, my first impression of seeing it was very high.

Application Process and Technique

Everyone has their own application process and technique they prefer. I tend to use a foundation brush when I’m looking for a bit more coverage. But most of the time apply my foundation with this makeup sponge.

For this Haus Labs foundation review, I tested both ways.

My process is that I use one pump of the foundation and dot it all over my face. ( I tend to use the tiniest do on the forehead because of the wrinkles.)

Then I will use either the sponge or the brush to blend it out.

Both the brush and the sponge bend out the foundation so easily. The product sunk into my skin and didn’t look heavy or makeup-like. It looked like my skin but better.

Coverage and Finish on Oily Skin

I go in with one pump of foundation, which gives me light coverage. I use a pump and a half on days I want more of a flawless appearance.

I lean towards light coverage because I have lines and wrinkles; all foundation settles in them. So when I pack on the foundation, it doesn’t do me any favors. You know what I mean?

However, with the Haus Labs foundation, I didn’t see as much settling into those lines. Yes, it settled, but not as bad as other foundations I’ve tried before.

As for the finish on my oily skin, you can see in the picture it gives my complexion a more uniform and evened-out look. And it slightly cuts down the shine. It’s a very natural skin-like finish.

Here, I applied the foundation using a makeup sponge.

 Longevity and Wear Test Results

When it comes to longevity and wear time, the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation does not disappoint on my oily aging skin.

Most days, I will put my makeup on around 7 am and wear it all day until around 7 pm. So I have put this stuff to the test.

There are times I am too lazy to remove my makeup before my workout after work (I know not good). But the Haus Labs Foundation can handle my sweaty workouts. That’s saying something.

Overall, I find that it keeps my oils at bay really well.

Pros and Cons of Haus Labs Foundation for Oily Skin

The advantages I see from the Haus Labs Foundation are as follows:

• gives my skin a beautiful natural finish
• it feels lightweight and not too heavy on my oil, aging skin
• its wear-time is phenomenal
• it keeps my oils at bay
• Great buildable coverage that leaves my skin smooth and moisturized
• Clean ingredients that are good for your skin
• Amazing shade range

The drawbacks I see from the Haus Labs Foundation are as follows:

• If you apply too much, it can get a bit makeup-y
• The price is on the higher end.
• excellent shade range but a bit confusing
• For my oily skin, It doesn’t work well with certain sunscreens or primers

Quite honestly, I struggled to find drawbacks to this foundation. I have super oily skin. I have fine lines and some wrinkles, I’m 40, these are the facts. But I feel like the Haus Labs Foundation holds up so well against all these factors.

Tips and Tricks for Maximizing Has Labs Foundation’s Performance on Oily Skin

We all want to get the most out of our products. If there is a way to make them work even better, sign me up!

That being said, I like to use a few tips and trips with the Haus Labs Foundation to make it look the best and last even longer.

Prepping the Skin: Skincare Regimen

This can make or break a foundation.

Your skincare regimen before applying makeup is one of the most critical steps to having your foundation look its best.

I keep my before-makeup skincare routine very simple.

I go in with my OneSkin moisturizer and eye cream. After I let that sink in, I use this vitamin C serum. Then I finish off with my face SPF.

There is a fine line between overdoing it with too many products and not using enough to ensure your skin is appropriately moisturized.

I need to mention that I tried this with the Elta MD sunscreen, which is one of my holy grails, but it did not mesh well with the Triclone Skin Tech foundation. I found that around 4is in the afternoon, my face was pretty greasy, and it looked as though the foundation was breaking apart a bit.

Everyone will have a different routine and products that work, but I find this works really well for my oily, aging skin when using the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech foundation.

Primer Selection for Oil Control

I find using a primer can be beneficial. However, it all depends on the type of primer.

I like a bit of oil control for me and my oily skin.

I don’t usually wear primer every day, but I find it helpful when I want my foundation to look its best.

A few of the primers that I found to work well with the Haus Lab Foundation are:

• Milk Makeup Hydro-grip
• Sephora Smooth and Blur
• Milk Makeup Pore Eclipse

I also will use my Coola Sheer Matte SPF as a primer. This eliminates an extra layer of product and saves a little bit of time.

Application Techniques for a Flawless Finish

How you apply your products can make a difference in the outcome and how they look.

When it comes to the Haus Labs Foundation, I learned a few application techniques and tricks that make it look amazing.

First and foremost, a little goes a long way. One pump of this foundation will give you light to medium coverage.

Start off with a small amount because you can always add more to the areas of your face that you want more coverage.

Use a makeup sponge if you want to sheer out that one pump even further. The sponges tend to soak up more of the product resulting in lighter coverage.

Use a densely packed foundation brush if you want more coverage. Again stick to the one pump and go from there.

To prevent any brush strokes, I will use a makeup sponge afterward. This will also pick up any extra foundation.

 Setting and Touch-Up Strategies

If you have oily skin, it is a fact that a setting powder is necessary almost 95% of the time.

The Laura Mercie Translucent Loose Setting Powder. This is an oldie but a goodie. And it’s my go-to, tried, and true setting powder.

I love this powder because it cuts the shine and locks my foundation into place.

I was relieved to find that it pairs beautifully with the Haus Labs Foundation.

The next powder that works well with it is the LYS pressed setting powder. It also sets and cuts the shine, but I find I get a little oiler earlier in the day opposed to the Laura Mercie.

I usually don’t do touch-ups during the day unless I have an important meeting or I’m meeting up with a friend for drinks or dinner.

When I do a touch-up, I will go for an oil blotting sheet first. Then I’ll apply some of the setting powder I used that day.

With the Haus Labs Foundation, I find that I don’t need to touch up. I feel comfortable with how my skin looks. Yes, there is a bit of a shine, but it’s nothing too crazy.

Final Verdict: Is Haus Labs Foundation Suitable for Aging Oily Skin?

As you know, I’m no spring chicken, I’m getting older, and I have lines on my face to prove it. I feel like it’s becoming increasingly challenging to find foundations that suit my aging, oily skin.

I’m a bit shocked by how much I enjoy the Haus Labs Foundation and how beautiful it looks on my skin.

I honestly think that if you have oily skin that is more mature, you will benefit from this foundation.

The simple fact that my face isn’t a greasy mess at the end of the day says it all. It’s beautiful and long-lasting.

I think the price is reasonable compared to other foundations, and this one is far superior, in my opinion.
