I want to wear less or lighter makeup but I'm not sure what products to use. My skin is naturally oily so if I go without I look super red and shiny but I don't know how to do a make up routine that isn't long and tedious... Any thoughts on what I can use or routines I could try?

What about trying a bb cream, mascara, blush, and lipgloss? It looks natural and isn't time consuming.

I've looked at bb cream and it's just I worry it won't last because my skin is so oily

Set it with a powder like rimmel stay matte or kryolan or hd powder by mufe. If you have oily skin I recommend using clinique dramatically different moisturizer it really helps. You can also try macs pressed blot powder instead of bbcream.

I have the same problem. Want to wear less but still maintain oiliness. This is what I do when it comes to the foundation part. Put milk of magnesia where ever you get oily. ( you pat it on with a cotton pad) don't worry it looks really white but putting some liquid foundation or bb cream will take care of it. Once it's covered I use Mac studio fix on the rest where I don't get as oily ( cheeks, upper lip area and chin. And I use a little of that where the liquid foundation is just to set it. It's great because it still covers imperfections well but not as heavy.
