Natural - milk of magnesia. There are YouTube vids on how to use it exactly. They go into detail on how to apply then add your normal makeup.

As for products.
I use porefesional by Benefit to prime, Kat Von D Lock it foundation right after, and Hello Flawless powder by Benefit. Throughout the day I'll blot with blotting papers (if I see I'm getting oily) and I apply my Urban Decay de-slick mattifying powder :) I have extremely oily skin and I know it's frustrating. Try face masks that remove oils and use oil free moisturizers. Hope this helped :)

Try not to dry out your skin too much because it will over-compensate for the lack of oil and produce more. I suffer from oily/combination acne prone skin. The worst kind in my opinion! I always concentrated on using oil free products and trying to dry out the pimples but recently I started using an organic cleansing lotion containing olive oil to remove my make up, followed by a gentle toner and face wash. Just incorporating this cleanser into my routine has made a lot of difference. It had helped with the dryness that I suffer from, my skin is softer and I do believe gets less oily. So far I haven't seen it have a negative affect on my acne. It's all about getting the right balance!
