Oily skin problem!

I wear Vichy Dermablend foundation and then use Rimmel powder over it to get rid of the shine and keep it on for longer, but throughout the day my skin gets oily and my face looks really shiny.. Does anyone have any ideas of products I could use to prevent this? Or else make up tips that would stop the shine?

There are primers that can help reduce oil production. but there are also powders that are specifically made to reduce oil, I think you should try those.

Bring some blotting papers with you to absorb any excess oils, you can also use a mattifying lotion or primer before you apply your foundation. And you can try a setting spray like face atelier ultra matte.

I use the urban decay setting spray for oily skin and it really works because I struggle with oily skin when I wear make up but it really works

Becca ever matte primer is great for mattifying. Also keep blotting papers with you.

Trainning as a beauty specialist and we were told for oily skin you can use toner instead of.moisturiser underneath your make-up, catrice prime and fine is a good option then on top of that, or any good primer for excessive oil production, compact foundation is also a good all rounder for oily skin, and double up on the translucent powder along T-zone :)
