For oily skin I would definitely recommend milk of magnesia. Yes milk of magnesia. Its great. Gently rub I some of this ontop of your moisturizer and whrn it turns into a whitish colour, apply your makeup. Controls oil wonderfully.

Milk of magnesia always makes my pores seem tiny I guess it leaves a film and I apply it with a flat foundation brush then wait for it to dry and apply my bb cream over it and then my Rimmel stay matte powder and I use clean and clear oil blotting sheets that keeps me matte I usually only have to apply powder once throughly the day and I live in Texas by the coast so it's hot as hell and humid to boot so I'd say MoM is a good option love.
