So I have extremely oily skin and I have a hard time finding products to correct the oil. Usually when I put on a foundation or a powder, my skin will stay matte for a couple hours then it just becomes extremely oily.
Any suggestions on what I can do to eliminate the oil and shine? I've tried blotting papers but I can go through a pack of 100 in less than 2 weeks :(

Have you tried murad oil control mattifier yet? I use it as a primer. All other primers are a fail for me. Also Estée Lauder double wear is the foundation I swear but along with rimmel stay matte powder and tarte amozonian clay blush. :)

This isn't makeup but my fiancé and I use black soap and he has extremely oily skin and it has been helping him a lot! His skin doesn't get nearly as oily as it use to!

I agree with Jordan W. the black soap is awesome and works wonders on oily/ acne skin.

Carry around blotting sheets, use an oil free moisturizer and use a oil free cleanser as well. A good powder would be rimmel stay matte

Brittany...I agree with you on the primers...they just make it worse. I'll try the oil control mattifier and the rimmel powder.

Jordan and Shelley..thanks for the tip on the black soap. I've heard of it before but never thought to use it. Can i get it from any drugstore?

Use a oil-free toner on your t-zone before makeup. It eliminates oil and makes your pores appear smaller too.

@Alia D. You can find it at Whole Foods and Walmart. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the brand and I'm not at home right now but its in a black box with yellow writing. Should set you back $4 bucks max.
