Concealer for Oily Skin.

Hey guys, I'm in serious need of a new concealer, but I can't decide which one to get. I have really oily and acne prone skin all over, but it's especially bad on my nose and undereyes, which are the areas I use the most concealer. It's gotten much better since I found the skincare routine that works for me, but I find that my concealer will still separate and look much more oily than the rest of my face at the end of the day, no matter what primer or setting spray I use. I still want that brightening affect, but be able to wear it through 8-12 hour days without looking like a greasy mess in those areas. Any recommendations would be great :)

A good drugstore option is the NYX HD Wand concealer but they only have so many shades although it does dry down really nicely and is good for oily skin.

Higher end, I kinda like the MAC pro longwear or the MAC Select-cover up.

I feel like they're quite similar but I think the pro Longwear is silicone based whereas the select-coverup is a water base and the select coverup has a tad less coverage but it's very skin-like.
Both come with a good amount of product but it just comes down to what foundation (base) you use and/or when you apply concealer whether before or after foundation (if you even put foundation under or over concealer)

You could even try mixing a little bit of setting spray with the concealer so that it lasts a bit better, just don't use too much otherwise it'll sheer out the product

I have extremely oily skin and what I do is use Clinique foundation as a conceal ( beyond perfecting foundation) and it lasts perfectly!
