I have uber oily skin, I find that kat von d's lock it foundation works really well.

I agree with Danielle A. Revlon ColorStay is hard to get off even when you wash your face. Doesn't budge at all for the whole day. Only one I've used that doesn't. And I work at McDonald's so that's going to be good.

I've oily skin too, and to "lock" that oil, you should totally get an oil free foundation or any skin makeup. Or/and you could also get a oil free primer or a moisturizer especially designed to oily skin, and aplly dade before your foundation. For me it works with any kind of foundation.

Depending on how oily it is, you could attack the issue head on with skincare. If primers and oil free foundations are working for you then try a mattifying serum that you could put under your moisturizer. Murad has a very popular one as does Fresh. I prefer the one from Fresh but go to sephora and get some samples to try out.

Have any of you ever tried the milk of magnesia trick? It's supposed work work amazing if you dab it in your face prior to foundation. I have normal/ dry skin so I can't try it out. I am a professional MUA but I'm afraid to try something so "out there" on a paying client. U guys should try it and lemme kno.. Maybe we can both get something out of this :)

Milk of magnesia is absolutely amazing. I have very oily skin and I feel like I have tried everything to combat my skins oilyness. Milk of magnesia is the ONLY product that mattifies my face without any harsh side effects. And plus, it seems to have decreased the size of my pores overtime and as a result of less oil on my face I have no more acne. Give it a try!

And by the way, the way I use it is by putting a thin layer on my face for about 5-10 minutes every morning. Then I pat any areas that may have dried white with water. After that you are good to go! I continue with my normal moisturizing/ makeup routine.

Urban Decay De Slick Spray! I cannot rave enough about this product because it was a total holy grail for me when I was in the Philippines. The weather there is very humid and hot and I have really oily skin so that was a plus. Spray before or after applying foundation.
