Here is the interactive table for the best make-up for oily skin. I’ve included eye shadow primers such as Urban Decay and EFL to help eye shadow stick to oily eyelids – often a problem for people with oily skin.
Mac Paint Pots scores really well on Amazon and on other forums too and NYX have a similar product in a pencil that a lot of people could use who have oily skin, could try using too. Some eyelid primer might be needed for using NYX though as I doesn’t say it’s specifically for people with oily skin.
I’ve also included some face primers as I think this falls under the idea of what the best make-up for oily skin should be too.
If you have any other suggestions then please feel free to comment down below. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer  | Eyelid Primer | 40 | 4.5 | It does get mentioned a huge amount on forums as the best product for keeping eyeshadow in place. It is expensive though and the bottle shape puts some people off. But it is still a great primer, no getting away from it! |
