I have extremely oily skin and find my make up blotches and looks heavy within an hour.
What do you girls do?

I apply primer then foundation with a powder brush.. Then apply a setting powder and just blot throughout the day and reapply powder if needed

Hi Kristen,
I'm a mum of 2 so I need something that's quick to apply, light but covers a multitude of sins - I use Garniers BB Cream (which is like a tinted moisturiser) for oily/ combination skin. I apply it like you would a normal moisteriser but add more using a foundation brush to areas which need more cover. I then use YSL Touché éclat to conceal and highlight. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing make up but really evens out my skin tone etc. hope this helps :)

I like to use a makeup sponge (very similar to the beauty blender) to blend my foundation :)

Moisturize moisturize! Every morning and evening. My skin has become less oily since doing so. I use a Mattify moisturzer before makeup. Also I use revlon color stay and apply it with either a beauty blender or sigma f80.

With a damn beauty blender or a flat top brush depending on the coverage I want that day. I set it with MUF hd microfinish powder. I don't use a primer and it last all day for me.

Haha.
Thanks everyone. I do moisturize and I'm still insanely oily. The garnier BB cream I tried and my oils still take over. Pretty much every foundation I've tried. I would love to get it under control at least. Thanks for the tips! Ill look into some of the things you guys suggested!
Leilani - what moisturizer do you use?
