Hey Guys,
I live in Canada, and the air here is very dry, yet my skin is VERY oily, and I get very shiny very fast. Currently I am using the Sephora primer, MakeUp Forever HD Foundation and the MAC Studio Fix Powder to set. I was wondering if anyone had any primers and foundations and powders that may work better for oily skin?

I am also VERY oily. So much so, I do not wear foundation. I use Clinique's Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector and top it with pressed powder & blush. The PRS mattifies (<-- not a real word) the skin and conceals the pores. It leaves this amazing velvety finish and my skin looks poreless and flawless! Going foundationless isn't for everyone, but this combo works for me.  xoxo

I have tried not wearing foundation, even today. I find that using just the MAC powder with some concealer give enough converage, but I find that I still get shiny >=(. 

Thats why I like the Clinique product so much. ZERO shine. And you use such a tiny amount, so You'll have the tube forever. Plus it's easy to take on the go for touch-ups.

for powder the dream matte powder works pretty good (I have oily/combo). As for primer I like the Korres Quercetin & Oak antiageing antiwrinkle Oil Control Treatment.

Nancy, I have to invest in that one day, the PRS.

No matter what I do I have to blot like every other hour. =\
