Oily skin is such a problem for me. Do you ladies know any good products for oily skin? Whether they're cleansers, pads, foundations etc. Furthermore, are there any great foundations that'll last all day without smudging or turning blotchy? (preferably for oily skin)

Start with a mattifying moisturiser as a base (or you could use a primer) then use a MATTE finish foundation (mouse foundations work well for this) and finish with powder, I recommend the Rimmel stay matte! Hope I helped x

I have an oily face muself and this works really good for me. Clean your face with tea tree oil, and use aloe gel before going to sleep.
Clean your face again before applying makeup and make sure you use a mattifying moisturizer or a good primer, I prefer bb creams and maybe a compact powder afterwards.

Use skincare products that contain a drying agent like salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or witch hazel. If you're using the right products that are strong enough for your skin, it won't get oily halfway through the day.
Always carry blotting sheers and powder with you.
My favorite powders are : Rimmel Stay Matte
and Makeup Forever HD Microfinish
For foundation, look for a matte finish. My favorites are:
Estee Lauder Doublewear
Clinique Stay Matte
Revlon Colorstay
Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover
Products with spf can make you look very shiny, especially in photos.
Always finish off with a setting spray to make sure your makeup stays in place, especially for long days or special events.

Milk of magnesia, also use a toner after cleansing and that will help control the oil over time.

The only solution to making foundation last, is after you apply your foundation, take a tissue, rip it in half, and botch on your skin yo overturn the oil from your face and foundation. This makes it less oily, and last longer. Hope I helped!

Yes use milk of magnesia! It absorbs oil and leaves your face makeup looking fresh all day.
If you load on too many primers, creams, powders etc.it won't look good and definitely won't feel good either! :)

I had this problem and it's safe to say I'm oil free now! just make sure you have a daily routine of washing your face with oil - free face washes and basically everything else you put on your face!
I personally use the olay face wash and the matching olay toner before/ after I sleep, then an oil free moisturiser like neutrogena grapefruit.
Also make sure you almost definitely wear oil free makeup, best one I would recommend is the max factor all in one foundation, it's perfect! hope this helped :)
