I have oily skin (all over my face but especially in my t zone) and normally a couple of hours after applying my foundation it's come off and by the end of the day it have no foundation left on. I use makeup academy illuminating foundation and I've tried several Rimmel products and nothings changed. Help me?

Do you use a primer? What's your skincare routine?

I personally use L'Oreal True Match. I have oily skin and it gives me a dewy look. But I highly suggest using a primer, it will make a huge difference. You can try milk of magnesia, and I've heard great things about Korres primers.
You can also try foundation like, Kat Von D, Estee Lauder Doublewear, and Revlon Colorstay which are all good for oily skin

I also have oily skin, and sometimes combination with dry patches on my forhead. Lately my makeup has been comming off at work after a few hours. Since I'm in an office setting with no open windows or fresh air it makes it even worse.
On a lower budget: Revlon colorstay liquid foundation ( the one for oily/ combination skin ) has been working great for me. I even choose it most days over the expensive foundations I have. Topping off with a finishing powder is MUST for oily skin. I like the makeup forever HD powder. You can buy a mini version of it at sephora for much less then the full size and it still lasts a very long time.
On a higher budget: Mac Studio fix powder foundation. This covers amazingly and has a matte oil free finish. I LOVE this product. Especially at times when my skin is more oily then others. ( Summertime, etc ) This product keeps me oil free literally all day. Maybe a small touch up on the chin and nose after 6-8 hours.
Another must is a good primer. I use the smashbox " light " primer. You can also buy a mini version of this at Sephora and it last a very long time as you don't need to use a lot.
Hope this helps :)
