I have oily skin and make up doesn't stay on my face for a long time. I also have dark spots from acne, what make up can I use for oily skin.

Just buy a primer for matte look (radiant primer) it will make your face matte and the makevup will stay there for hours

I have oily skin too and I use a toner before makeup and then use the covergirl 3 in 1 foundation and set it with the neutrogena shine control and it stays pretty well throughout the day. I don't have to touch up during school

Yeah I would agree with the comments regarding skin care. First and foremost you must tackle the oily skin, be sure that your moisturiser is oil free and use products targeting oily skin. As for primers you may not need one if you are using moisturiser as a primer just works as a barrier between skin and foundation, but I you do opt for a primer maybe go for one of smashbox's oil free primers. If you have quite large pores then I would suggest primed and poreless by too faced. Now for foundation revlon color stay is good for oily skin, also no7 beautifully matte is good.

Agree with first starting to control oil through skin care.
My foundation suggestions would be:
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra
Clinique Stay Matte
MUFE Mat Velvet

If you have oily skin do not use a moisturizer.

I heard milk of magnesium works well as primer for oil skin. also a primer by NYX called shine killer (I think)

I have extremely oily skin and I simply use Mary Kay's moisturizer, Revlon Colorstay foundation, and Covergirl's face powder. My makeup stays on all day and oil-free :)

Include a toner in your skincare routine. Then use a primer before makeup and then a setting spray. I love love your hair by the way.

I've got oily skin and it really is a problem when it comes to makeup staying put. I use maybelline dream smooth primer, I really like it and makes it so easy to apply foundation. I also use translucent powder over my matte foundation and collection 2000 face fix spray. Exfoliating will also help with oily skin and blotting tissues are good to have in your bag x

I use neutregena face scrub. But also I carry around oil blotting tissue just in case. They sell them at Beaty stores

Milk of magnesia as a primer
Estee Lauder Double Wear or Revlon Whipped Creme
Neutrogena oil control powder or Maybelline dream matte

Do not skip moisturizer!! You need it to prevent premature aging on your skin. Try a matte-finish sunscreen (Neutrogenas is my fav) or Cetaphil moisturizer for oily skin! They dry matte. :)

I also have oily skin. I use bare minerals primer, foundation and mineral veil. my make up stays on all day with out getting oily or wearing off. sometimes I switch it up with revlon whipped foundation.

Also, milk of magnesia is terrible for your skin. While it keeps the oil away, it also destroys the Ph level and basically makes your skin a breeding ground for bacteria, killing all the good bacteria your skin and body need to be healthy.

Try Kat Von D foundation...it works very well for oily skin. I also recommend Algenist gel moisturizer...it helps control oil too. Good luck!

Use a primer and ALWAYS set it with powder. Also wait at least five mins for your moisturiser to sink in so that it won't be oily/greasy :)
