I use a Smashbox redness primer with MAC Pro Longwear in my color. I powder with Skinfinish and I use Pressed Blot Powder (all of this by MAC) every few hours to keep shine at a minimum. At night I give myself a sugar scrub.

I use NYX Photo Loving Primer followed by either Estée Lauder Double Wear or MUFE Mat Velvet +. I set with my MAC Blot Powder and take it with me for touch ups. I also use MAC Pro Longwear concealer as foundation sometimes without the NYX primer and the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream without primer.

I remove all my makeup with a makeup remover wipe and then wash my face with the Origins Checks And Balances (:

I do most of my skincare routine at night, I've found that if I do anything before I put my makeup on, I get more oily. So at night I remove my makeup with cleansing cloths, then I tone with rose water, then I put on under eye cream (body merry), and then face serum (clarigenics).

In the morning I wash with Dermadoctor Ain't Misbehavin (LOVE THIS STUFF) and then apply a primer (elf), then foundation (revlon colorstay), and then lightly set with a loose powder (covergirl professional).

For skincare I mix my Purity face wash from Philosophy and Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit Scrub and the the Neutrogena pore refining toner. At night I use the Clearasil spot treatment and Hope In A Jar from Philosophy. In the morning I skip the spot treatment and use Neutrogena's Oil Free Combo Skin moisturizer.
For foundation I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer, Sephora's 10hr perfection wear foundation followed by their powdered foundation. And after I'm done with everything else I use NARS Light Reflecting Translucent Powder on my nose, cheeks, chin and forehead.

For skincare I use a Biore Charcoal wash and use a 1% salicylic acid lotion (I have some blemishes as well).

For makeup, I use Rimmel Stay Matte primer and Revlon Colorstay for Oily Skin and mix some Stay Matte primer and No7 Stay Perfect primer in with it. Then, I set it with my elf finishing powder! (For these steps I use the real techniques sponge)

Morning: Wash my face with Nuetrogena Deep Clean Shine Control cleanser/mask, tone with Nuetrogena Clear Pore toner, moisturize with 3 drops of my Bocsia Beauty Oil, apply my Orgins Original Skin serum, and then prime my skin with my Cover FX Mattifying Primer.

Makeup: I apply my NARS Luminous Foundation. Contour if needed (not sure if you're interested in knowing what products I use for that) I also use Dior Star concealer and Smashbox BB for Eyes if I'm puffy or my eyes are tired. I use my beauty blender to press and roll Laura Mercier Translucent loose powder all over my face, to really make sure powder has set everything.

Night: I exfoliate at night after using makeup remover to get the majority of my makeup off, mainly focusing on my eye makeup. I like the Garnier Clean+ daily blackhead scrub. tone with same toner, mix Beaty oil with my No. 7 night creme for oily skin. Use my Orgins serum, apply a pea sized amount of my cover Fx Primer over my face. It's a treatment that can be used up to 3 time a day. I will say, this is the most money I have ever spent on skincare in my life, but the combination of the beauty oil that is good for all skin types, my serum which puts your skin back in balance, and my primer, I noticed that my makeup stays all day. All I need is blotting sheets, my makeup doesn't smear or dissolve. I am very pleased with my routine and would really focus on skin care in order to make your makeup last through out the day!

My skincare program rotates depending on how my skin is behaving so I switch often. I don't use skincare items are advertise oily reduction because at my age I'm trying to retain as much natural oils as I can and my skin looks flat and dull without a nice balance of it. This week for example I've been using...
Morning: French Pink Clay soap, rose water toner, anti-oxidant serum, Cellessence Anti-Aging Cream, Colorscience Mineral SPF, Nuvacell eye serum and SPF eye cream.
Evening: NUDE Cleansing Jelly, French Pink Clay soap, rose water toner, NUDE Treatment Oil, Cellessence Anti-aging Cream, Nuvacell eye serum, almond oil (for lips)

Next week I might be reaching for my retinol.

As far as makeup I really don't utilize primers on a daily basis to diffuse my enlarged pores because I rely on my skincare to handle that and so far it works for me. If I do use it I only apply on the areas I'm trying to diffuse. To set my face product (foundation or bb cream) I rotate between NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Setting Powder or ByTerry Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder. The ByTerry powder gives me a super light,soft matte finish which controls sebum production but it doesn't leave me looking like a powdered donut (light application a must with this stuff). And sometimes I apply it before my foundation (acting as primer).
