Is there anything that can be used to mattify a dewy foundation? My fave foundation is mac studio sculpt, it was perfect when my skin was on the dry side. Now my skin is more oily but nothing really helps to keep the shine away? I've tried the studio fix but still get shiny even with use of blot powder. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

Use a good mattifying primer beforehand and set it with a matte powder! Maybe try a powder foundation to set it rather than just a blotting powder? Good luck girl :)

Mac tends to be oily and even more when its foundation over powder. Maybe just using a different product

Try Urban decay's Deslick oil control makeup setting spray before your foundation, then set it with a powder and another setting spray. I use it on my T-zone and it works really well for me. That should help. If not I have heard that Milk of Magnesia (MOM) works wonders for oil control but I have never tried it (MOM) personally. Good luck!!
