I have really oily skin & my makeup does not stay on throughout the day! I use bb creme & press powder! I'm not sure what I could do to make it last through out the day?

Maybe try a setting spray or use a primer.

I have oily skin too. I use the cetaphil oil control face wash before I apply any face products. Apply the by creme or foundation as you normally would. Apply the powder mainly focusing on the spots you get oily the most and dust the powder over any less oily places :)

Hope this helps

Or as Ramsha A. Said, a primer.

I use a pressed powder called Rimmel stay matte and it works with my really really oily skin to last all day and keep it dry :)

Use a good cleanser like Soap and Glory's Peaches and Clean...then a primer like smashbox photo finish primer with a foundation like Bourjois 123 perfect foundation or merle norman lasting foundation...even if your face gets sweaty and oily, your makeup won't come off..you can get rid of the shine by blotting a tissue paper on your skin lightly and it won't disturb your foundation.

Set the foundation by lightly dusting it with loose powder or rimmel stay matte pressed powder..bourjois foundation is a dupe for merle norman one..if you aren't willing to splurge on merle you can give bourjois a try...also I don't like smashbox primer as much..I don't feel its worth the money..so you can search Beautylish for more primers :-)

I have extremely oily skin as well, I use Laura Merciers primer from Sephora, it's $20.00 but it lasts a while. I put it on after my moisturizer and then let it sit 5 minutes then apply makeup. there are many foundations made for oily skin that do help, I'm trying a new one today called Superstay 24 Hour by Maybelline and so far so good, (and it won't clog pores) also, use a pressed powder after foundation because it sets and helps control oil (I use revlon colorstay and it works amazing! and it won't clog pores) and then throughout the day if you get oily pay your face with a brown paper towel (they absorb oil very very well) or oil blotting sheets (which elf sells amazing ones for $1.00) and if you'd like reapply a little powder for an even fresher look.

I've heard that using Phillip's original Milk of Magnesia works for keeping oil under control, but I'm not sure if that's something you want to put on your face because I have only tried it once. it does the job, though! And I have oily skin, too!
