I've always had fairly oily skin and hair. The face powders and foundation I have used before seem to do nothing but make my face look even more oily. What makeup is there I can use that lasts long and won't fade due to oil?

I so do agree with you by the way hey you don't know me but you seem to understand me I don't know how to handle my makeup on my oily skin.

I too have very oily skin. I have tried all kinds of primers and setting sprays but no matter what I use after a few hours my skin still begins to shine. I found these at Sally's and they give my foundations a matte finish that I like. So I keep these in my purse to blot my face during the day. They were not expensive at all and worth a try <3.

Revlon colorstay for oily skin works wonders. sometimes when I'm in a rush I forget to put a primer and my makeup still stays matte all day.

Okay so yes primers (loreal works great) and powders, but if you want the oil to go away, here's what you have to do.

Mix a spoonful of corn starch with enough water to make a paste, then spread it on the oily parts of your face. Let it dry then wash it off in the shower. At first it'll dry your skin out a lot, you might even break out a bit, so maybe start with once or twice a week and judging from there. I do it whenever I take a shower.

Keep in mind that oil on your skin doesn't necessarily mean you have oily skin. It might mean you have dry skin that overproduces, in which case moisturize and, as always, drink lots of water. I'd try this first because drying out dry skin with corn starch will just make it that much worse. Good luck!

Use MILK OF MAGNESA!! I swear by it this stuff works. just put it on under your foundation, put your usual powder on and you will stay matte.

Becca ever matte primer and kat Von d foundation. Make sure to keep blotting sheets and a compact powder. Also! After applying a foundation, dab off the excess and them set it. Use a setting spray too. I've used the Clinique stay matte, it's not the best by far. It's nice looking but not the best oil control.
