I have oily skin and also very sensitive skin as well and make up can be a difficult thing for me because of these issues but I finally found make up that works for me but there is one problem it won't stay in all the way because I know I need some sort of primer but what kind is the best for oily/sensitive skin I need some ideas and what works for you please respond!

I agree the hourglass is amazing another good one is by cover FX - I like the mattifying one but it's more for acne prone skin but hasn't irritated my sensitive skin.

I am deeply in love with the new Make Up For Ever Step 1 primers... there is about 10 that they came up with and they are incredible. they do have a mattifying one BUT I have very oily skin and I use the hydrating primer. my makeup looks great even after 6-7 hours. I believe because I'm moisturizing my skin, it keeps my oil production lower than normal. you don't want to dehydrate your skin. they're $36 but they are welllll worth it!! or go into your nearest sephora and ask for a sample of a couple of different ones from the line and see which you like best 😊

Personally I like the Smashbox Photo Finish Light Primer. Its great for oily skin because its 60% water with oil absorbents that give you a nice matte complexion for the rest of the day. I use it on myself and all of my clients with moderate to severely oily skin.

The two I'm thinking of are the Porefessional by Benefit or the Pure Light face primer by Smash box.

I personally hate the smashbox primer - it breaks me out but I have sensitive acne prone skin - and Shauna you should definitely try the cover FX it's great for sensitive skin.

Smashbox Photo Finish Light Primer is my favorite. It is absolutely amazing!
I highly recommend that one.
I use it and my skin in more comb to oily and my mom uses it to and her skin is super super oily. It works amazingly on both of us.
