Tips Of The Week : Oily Face

For the past few months, I noticed that my face has been more oily than usual. I don’t know whether it’s something I eat or the crazy Jakarta climate or post-labour hormones, but it’s been messing up with my makeup. I would check on the mirror sometimes after lunch to touch up my lippie and always horrified to see my face. It looks like someone has just eaten gorengan off my face! So greasy!
Anyway, liquid foundie has been put away temporarily because of this but even mineral makeup, which usually works better for my oily skin, doesn’t do the trick anymore. Then one day, I was browsing around this thread and found Ciel herself from CielMinerals disposing a useful tip for my condition :
To really absorb oil on your face, try putting on the mineral veil before the foundation (after moisturizer and/or primer), do the rest of your face and then finish off with the mineral veil again (Loosely quoted)
I tried it and guess what? It works! After the end of the day, my face is a little bit shiny but this time, the gorengan stays where they belong! In the frying pan across the street from my office!

Koukla..thanks to highlight the tips:D
gue biasanya cm pake mineral veil setelah semuanya beres..tapi besok gue pengen coba ah dengan tips ini..
so seconding that!gue juga akhirnya mengikuti saran ciel ini, stlh moisturizer pake veil dulu yg itungannya sebagai primer baru ditiban foundie lalu veil lagi, and i am happy as a peacock!
hmm, it’s not working as well for me, esp in the nose area…:(
ah ternyata gak cuma gue ya yang tiba2 jadi tambah oily akhir2 ini. hahahahaha
bener tuh lena. idung tuh susah banget. gue pernah pake concealer di idung, jadi creasing saking terlalu oily.
koukla.. gw nyobain lho tips nya pagi ini.. kebetulan mineral veil nya ciel mineral blm abis2.. krn gw jg suka lupa make neik hehe.. dan tak ikutin saran nya manjur lohh.. ck ck.. top cer niy tips nya… thankss bangetsss
Waaa…sangat menarik.
Dapetin Ciel Mineral Veil di mana ya?
i tried this, using CM as well as other brands. it ain’t working as much as i wanted to, but i hv to admit kalo emang membantu drpd ga sama sekali. tp emang sih muka gue minyakan bgt nget nget
it helps me a lot, beneran banget, minyak pada ngacir
koukla.. gw dah liat web nya tp kayanya ga bisa kirim ke sini ya??
is there any other mineral makeup brands available in jakarta? aside from ciel, bloom, and splash. i want the ones in smaller sizes just like everyday minerals, lauress, lumiere, and other brands in the US so we get to try every caller and it’s cheaper. around 10,000 rups per small container.
Iya. Dmana sih bs dpt CM ini? Pgen coba. Mls klo msti order via website nya.
Ari, dulu sih emang harus order via websitenya dan setau saya belum dijual di tempat lain, tp nggak tau ya sekarang. Kan di websitenya ada contact number/e-mailnya. Coba aja hubungi mereka..
both are nice depending on occasion
