Use a shine control primer, blot powder, blotting sheets, and a light weight moisturizer. you don't have to do all of them but those are a few ideas. and maybe it's oily because your foundation isn't the right finish? I don't know, some people just have naturally oily skin.

To make it less only:
-you can wear milk of magnesia as a primer
- do a clay mask (you can make one or buy one from the drugstore) once a week to draw out excess oils
- make sure to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. If you go without an oil free moisturizer if will be counteractive and make your face more oily (skin will go overboard with oil production to hydrate itself)
