What's your foundation routine? Moisturizer? Primer? And what foundation are you using. I too have oily skin and have pretty much figured out how to stay matte.

Try priming with Milk of Manganese. Weird sounding but totally soaks up oil! I just up apply a little with a cotton swab

I know it sounds odd to put moisturizer on your face but it really does help. At target the no. 7 brand has a great one for oily skin. When we don't put moisturizer on our skin our skin will make up for it by producing extra oils. So in away you have to trick your skin... Also try using the urban decay deslick setting spray before and after foundation. That does work... Also what Emily said if your skin is EXTREMELY oily. My cousin uses it and it works for her really well.

I'm unfamiliar with that foundation? Do you know if it's suppose to work for oily skin?

Mineral powders (almost all) provide skin with more hydration, which isn't helping. Clinique has a blended powder that's oil free & helps to control oil. I suggest #20 Invisible Blend. Also, Urban Decay has a De-Slick makeup setting spray that works AMAZINGLY well!! I work two jobs, one as a waitress at a greasy breakfast place where I sweat my ass off and the spray keeps my stuff amazingly well for 12 hours in the heat & grime of the restaurant. Can't say enough good things about it!! Those two things will make a huge difference, promise! Estée Lauder Matte primer is exceptional as well. Lastly, go speak to Clinique and they will put you on the correct skin care regimen :)

Hi! Have you tried Ben Nye powders? They're really good for setting your foundation and highlighting. I've been using the Banana and Cameo shade and I'm still waiting to try the colorless set. :)

Try Tarte setting powder; I love it! I also use Milk of Magnesia under my primer in my oily spots
