I have this problem where any time I apply foundation on my face it constantly becomes shiny through out the day and I reapply powder but it can get annoying...does anyone have any suggestions?

Make sure you use an oil free foundation, follow with a setting powder, and I agree with Sophie.. You'll want blotting sheets.. Hope this helped :)

You can also get a setting spray for oily skin.

Milk of magnesia for primer, matte foundation and translucent powder. I'm less shiny for longer. And I just don't have t-zone oily. My face gets like a skillet to fry chicken girl lol. Good luck!

Foundation I use right now is MAC Studio Fix Fluid but SERIOUSLY considering trying Revlon Colorstay as recommended by many ladies in this forum.

A toner will help to maintain your ph balance throughout the day... Aveda makes a great toning mist!

I've recently discover Neutrogena Oil Control Translucent Powder and I'm loving it! It truly does control oil production.

Just try washing your face before you put any make up on then use an. Good primer you will se a lot of un shininess. Also wash your face at night before you go to sleep at night is when may oils go on your skin.

I really like rimmel stay matte, it lasts longer than any drugstore powder I've tried, but halfway through the day you might need to reapply.

My skin does the exact same thing, and these are the products that have literally changed my life:

1. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. Best powder that I've ever tried; controls shine without looking too cakey or too matte. (The Rimmel Stay Matte powder is also quite nice, and significantly cheaper than MAC MSF)
2. Urban Decay All-Nighter Setting Spray. I spray it into my ELF powder brush and stipple it onto my face after applying foundation and powder, and it keeps everything locked in.
3. Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector: It is expensive, yes, but this thing is the best primer I've ever tried. Keeps my skin looking flawless and shine-free all day. Totally worth the investment!!
