The Best Makeup for Oily Skin – Mattify Cosmetics Origin Story
Established in 2009, Mattify Cosmetics is dedicated to providing natural, skin-friendly products for those with oily skin and acne. We never use artificial ingredients, talc, or bismuth-oxychloride. Our items are noncomedogenic, vegan, and cruelty-free.
ORIGIN STORY:
When you have oily skin and acne, it can be a frustrating and costly battle to find products that actually work. I finally gave up on this never-ending search, and decided to create my own!
It all began with me ordering 2 dry ingredients (Corn Starch & Kaolin Clay) to create a translucent powder for myself. The powder worked so well, I ordered a few sifter jars and put them up for sale on ebay under the name “Mattify Powder”. They sold within 48 hours! This OG powder is now known as Mattify Original.
Since I’d found a good base that actually absorbed oil, I branched out and started adding colors, to create tinted powder, eye shadow, and blush. Seeking even more oil-control, I researched additional natural ingredients, and created what’s become a Holy Grail face powder for many: Mattify ULTRA Powder.
I’ve personally tested each item for a minimum of 6 weeks - if I don’t use and like a product myself, I don’t add it to the Mattify collection. The ULTRA Powder has earned a place in my makeup cabinet, purse, car, and desk – I’d joke that I never leave home without it, but it’s the truth.
As the Mattify journey continues, we will be incorporating more products to help oily skin shine with beauty, not with oil!
