I have to wear foundation for a long period of time and I'm going to be outside in the heat 😭 Is there a way to keep foundation/skin from becoming oily? Or is it just a matter of having oily skin plus the heat?

Set it with a powder then use the urban decay oil-control setting spray

Most artist products aren't as pretty packaging wise as mainstream products, but they work amazingly well! You might check out your skin care routine, if your over washing and dehydrating you skin, it overproduces oil. I finally learned that I'm oily, but dehydrated- so I have too much oil, not enough water. Once I added oil free moisturizers that draw water moisture to my skin, I'm producing less oil and my makeup lasts longer! Your skin will drink all the water out of your makeup, causing it to break up and fade. Hope this helps:)

I have very oily skin and I use the rimmel stay matte primer and powder, Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation, and NYX setting spray
Also, use a face wash, toner, and moisturizer specifically made for oily skin
And keep your skin hydrated
