It is not easy to go for a translucent look especially if you don’t posses the two important qualities: a flawlessly smooth skin and a skin with no visible pores.

If you have an oily skin type, going for a totally naked look would not be advisable for you.  But you can try some make-up tricks that will let you go for a gleamy-look.

The cheat here is to apply a cream foundation on areas of your face which usually gets oily in the middle of the day.  This area is called the T-zone which includes the forehead, the nose and the chin.  Use cream foundation rather than a liquid because it will give you more coverage.  Also, it helps keep the T-zone from getting shiny the wrong way.

Avoid sheer, gel-type blushes because they may be too transparent that they may highlight your flaws.  Instead try a shimmery cream or a powder blush for your cheeks.

Use a bright shimmery color foy your eyes.  Try a yellowish shade for your your base and then apply a deep red shade to highlight the corners of the eyes.  Add thickness to your lashes by applying an ultra black coat of mascara twice.

Apply a rich lip balm on your lips to smoothen it before applying a berry colored lipstick for a full finish.
