My face makeup never stays on for more than a few hours, mostly because of my super-oily skin. Right now I use L'oréal Studio Secrets's primer, but it doesn't make it stay on for longer!
Even if I touch up my powder and use blotting sheets, the foundation and concealer always melts away :(
Does anyone know of a good primer wich can make my makeup stay on all day?

Sephora Anti-Shine.. Miracle, but many find it hard to blend over.. So my tip is mix in some of your studio secrets primer & you'll be good to go! Or just pat, rather than swirl your foundation in.

Dermalogica's Skin Perfect Primer is absolutely amazing. i have insanely oily skin and that products helps keep it under control. There is a slighty shimmer to it so it you dont like that the Clearing Mattifier is just as good. You can keep the Clearing Mattifier in your purse and if you start to get a bit of shine you dab a little on top of your makeup and it will give it a matte finish without disturding your makeup. I love both of those products.

MAC REFINED ZONE primer is the most aggressive oil controlling primer in my opinion.

Mac has a prep and prime SPF 50 matte primer that's amazing! I also use powder mineral based foundation, it lasts longer and isn't as greasy!

Urban decay pore perfecting primer is good. It's about $31 for a full size. Order it from sephora or their website.

You cannot stop that oil production. I like to prime with a BB cream (Smashbox is my preference).. I have tried everything and the best way to keep your skin looking fresh instead of shiny is upkeep. Blotting sheets,setting spray throughout the day, and a mattifying sheer powder in the same color as your foundation.
