Try some blotting papers, they're safe to use over makeup without smudging it :)

Make sure you use a good primer. Also, what foundation are you using? If you have oily skin, you don't want to be using the wrong foundation for your skin type. After foundation a setting powder and setting spray will be your best friend! I totally agree with the blotting papers throughout the day too. Good luck!

I basically just apply a moisturiser & use Air Foam Foundation. & it ends up so unbelievably oily towards the end of everday..

Just a little touch up of setting powder every once and a while through out the day will take away the oily shine! Thats what I used to do, made me feel better!:)

I have the same problem but just try to perfect your techniques for keeping matte. It's nearly impossible for me to not have to touch up (even the slightest) when I'm wearing makeup for more than 5 + hours. Especially because I don't always like a matte finish and I that makes me more prone to looking shiny. Just make sure you set your make up lightly with powder. Matte setting sprays can assist like the one Jacqlyn mentioned but it doesn't make your make up last longer, it just makes it set matte. I have the nyx one and it's okay (I hate the spray dispenser it has though). I think a finishing spray is something that will help the wear time.
Just make sure you use oil free products for the longest wear but there's nothing wrong with blotting and or touching up with powder at break or lunch :)

NYX Setting powder + NYX Matte Finish Spray. My two holy grail products :) they cost less than $30 together! But they work like a charm ^.^

I always keep mineral powder and layer it on top once the oil starts to show.

What moisturizer are you using? You skin is making oil for a reason. It believes it's dry. I say get a better moisturizer, then you aren't wasting money on searching for new products.
