Many with oily skin find their concealer slipping, creasing, or fading fast. Under-eyes look greasy. Breakouts may worsen. Celebrity makeup artist Tanvi Chemburkar explains it’s not just your skin — your concealer, technique, and prep all matter. Vogue India

She warns: creamy and dewy formulas tend to amplify oil, making the look greasy. In contrast, matte and soft-matte finishes are better suited for oily skin.

Choosing the right concealer

Chemburkar advises looking for labels like oil-free, non-comedogenic, or silicone-based. Therefore help reduce pore clogging and excess shine. She suggests lightweight but buildable coverage.

Avoid heavy, thick, or greasy formulas. Meanwhile such products mix with your skin’s natural oils, clog pores, and may lead to breakouts.

Tools: brush vs sponge

Contrary to popular practice, Chemburkar favors brushes over sponges.

Firstly a brush lets you place product precisely without adding warmth or moisture. Secondly sponges, she notes, can absorb too much product or hold moisture, which may cause the concealer to slip.

Overall if you use a sponge, it should be barely damp rather than wet. That helps the concealer grip better while avoiding excess moisture.

The prep and setting routine

1. Start with clean, primed skin

Begin with an oil-control cleanser and a lightweight moisturizer. Then follow with a mattifying primer, even for under eyes.

2. Apply concealer sparingly

Use thin layers, spot by spot. Avoid layering heavily in one go.

3. Layer in powders

One of Chemburkar’s favorite tricks: dust a thin layer of translucent powder between concealer applications. Thus helps absorb oil and keeps the product in place.

4. Set with spray

A long-lasting setting spray is essential. Mist over zones prone to oiliness (T-zone, chin, etc.)

5. Touch up lightly

If you need to retouch, lightly powder the area. Thus avoids heavy layering throughout the day.
