I would go with either hourglass or mufe for the primer. those are my two favs, but I'm really loving the mufe lately. for the setting spray either of those are great choices, but I prefer the skindinavia a bit more. but you can only get those online, and can go into a store for Kat's and have it immediately lol.

I have only tried the smashbox pore minimizing primer. It's great for filling in pores and helps with oil control but doesn't completely get rid of it. It lasts for ages too as only a small bit is required. I really like it!

I'm not sure about the primer, but I can tell you Kat Von D setting spray is wonderful :) I barely crease under my eyes anymore thanks to that product.

I love hourglass mineral veil. I am less oily makeup applies way better.

I'm not as oily as you but the smash box pore minimizing dried my skin out, Same with becca.

I'm not sure about primer sprays. I don't know if it's just me but all of the setting sprays make me look and feel more oily than going without. I like to use a silica based setting powder then use Mac fix + to take the powdery look away. I have no trouble with oil, even on during the summer when my skin is at its worst.

I'd go with one of the last two. A pore minimizing product usually don't help with oil much or at all. I'd go with the MUFE one honestly

I would go with the MUFE Smoothing Primer (I have the mattifying one and this one is better for oil control and its smoothing). This one is especially good if you put it on and then wait 5 mins before applying foundation. The Hourglass one is another primer I use frequently but it doesn't mattifying as much as the MUFE. It leaves a very smooth, clean canvas. The Becca one I tried and hated lol. It didn't mattify and it made my foundation separate. Smashbox primers aren't very good for me personally. They just make my makeup slip all over my face 😂

Oh and the KVD spray is probably good for everyday. I think stronger setting sprays like skindinivia and model in a bottle are more for special events. I love the NYX Matte Setting Spray because it works just as well as any other and its inexpensive.

I haven't tried any of the other ones but I do have very oily skin and I tried the Cover FX. I hated it. I don't have sensitive skin but this product made my skin burn and broke me out so bad, it did nothing to treat my acne.

Hourglass mineral veil primer. just bought. highly recommended. its amazing for my oily skin. especially when I pair it with there immaculate powder foundation. seriously those two don't budge. I highly recommend getting a sample if you don't buy the full bottle.

I'm really loving thehe MUFE one. I can't help with the other primers but I highly recommend this one. and I'm kinda obsessed with the Kat Von D setting spray.

Hourglass mineral veil keeps me matte and you'll be amazed by how velvety and smooth it makes your skin feel. And Kat Von D's setting spray is great!
