Any suggestions? My foundation always slides right off and I've tried different powders but nothing seems to work.

Stay Matte by Rimmel is a game changer for me, I would suggest that. Also, be sure you're using a foundation that is oily skin friendly.

I have super oily skin and use the Benefit POREfessional underneath my foundation and set my t-zone with Rimmel Stay Matte powder.

You'll have to try a few things to figure out what works with your skin, but I use a primer from Kryolan that I like. After I put my foundation on, I set it with a powder, but I also use a finishing spray which is really a Godsend! it keeps my face makeup set all day long and basically waterproofs it.

The L'Oreal Miracle Blur works well on oily skin, if you follow up with a matte foundation/powder; I feel as though if you put on a foundation with a more glowy finish, your skin will appear oilier throughout the day.

I have very oily skin and my favorite is the smashbox pore minimizing primer.
it makes my foundation go on a lot smoother, makes it last for a LONG time and makes my pores almost disappear.
of course only temporary.

I have to go with helen on this one. Being 16 & jobless , I can't afford all these professional primers or foundations. This olay one isnt only cheap, ITS FREAKING AMAZING. I have so much acne scars & discoloration, & this manages to make me look like I have clean skin even with the lightest foundation & bb creams. I strongly recommend it.

Hi! I would also look into the ingredients of any primers you're using. Water-based primers work much better on oily skin than silicone-based ones do (those tend to be great for normal-dry skin). Also, check the main ingredient in your foundation! If you are using a silicone p-based primer with a water-based foundation (and vice versa), they won't mix well and will slip and slide all day.

I particularly love the smashbox photo finish in light (water-based) and the original silicone-based formula depending on how my skin is acting and what foundation I choose to wear each day.

Best of luck xx
