The Ultimate Summer Makeup For Acne-Prone Skin

The Ultimate Summer Makeup For Acne-Prone Skin
Whether you find it hard to conceal breakouts or struggle to strike the balance between oily skin and a healthy-looking glow, it’s safe to say that the struggle is real when it comes to finding makeup to suit acne-prone skin. Or is it? Arif Khan, Space NK’s senior pro artist says it’s all about listening to your skin and finding what works for you. “Trial and error will really help when it comes to finding makeup that works for you,” he says. “Once you know what ingredients your skin likes and dislikes, you’ll have a much better success rate at finding the right products.” To help take some of the guesswork out, our colour & accessories buyer, Helena Drozd has shared her top picks for what should be in your makeup bag…
01

By Terry

UV Base Sunscreen Cream Broad Spectrum SPF50, $78.00

The Lightweight SPF
Regardless of your skin type, everyone should be wearing applying an SPF before your makeup. If you have acne scars, they are likely to deepen in colour as scarred skin is more susceptible to sun damage. This particular SPF is incredibly lightweight and dries down matte to help limit excessive shine.

Charlotte Tilbury

Beauty Light Wand in Pillow Talk, $39.00

The Glow-Getting Highlighter
If you have oily skin you might think I’m mad adding this into the mix, but this product is the ultimate hybrid of both highlighter and blusher. It has a soft-focus and oil-absorbing properties, which are guaranteed to make you instantly glow. Add a tiny amount to the inner corners of your eyes and the tops of your cheek and brow bones.

Hourglass

Veil Soft Focus Setting Spray, $48.00

The Invisible Setting Spray
Instead of setting your makeup with a powder, which can often crease and end up looking quite cakey, try a setting spray instead. I love this particular formula as it feels weightless and is water-resistant, so it gives your makeup maximum staying power even in the summer heat. Simply spritz a light mist all over as the final step in your routine.
