I have VERY oily skin and large pores so usually my makeup was caking up and coming off after less than three hours of wear.
With this combo, I can usually get a full days wear out of it, was maybe 1 touch up in the day!

VICHY Normaderm 3 in 1
- I use this as a face wash in the shower daily
- also can used as a mask after washing on fresh skin. Leave on for 5 minutes and scrub to rinse off.
** for acne prone skin, to help close pores and mattify

Glam Glow Super Mud
- I use this every second day for about 20-30 minutes.
I'm not too sure what the results are, I think it's over time you'll notice the changes.
What I can say is the first time I used it, it showed major pores around my eyes and those seem to have shrunk now
** expensive I know! But do your research and ask for a sample!

Foundation: Revlon Color Stay
- this is the foundation I always come back to
- I like the coverage and the staying a power.
So far the best foundation I've used, and wow I've used a lot!
** I also mix a bit of MUFE concealer into the color to make it a bit darker cause I've tanned, however I don't think it's really doing anything for the oilyness.
I've been using Kat Von D concealer. Not because I think it's so wonderful, but just because I'm trying to use it up. To me it's just an okay product.

** I do not use face primer! I really have found none of them have helped at all.
- however I do use UD eyeshadow potion for when I use eyeshadow! Seriously perfect product.

This is my major saving grace for my oily skin
MUFE HD Setting Powder
Definitely mattifies my foundation and helps it stay all day

Awesome! I'm not sure if it's just one product that's helping, but since I've found this routine that works I don't wanna risk it by taking something else!

Also I'd like to add, I apply my foundation with a slightly damp beauty blending. Pressing the product into my face vs streaking it.
And I apply the powder with a big fuffly brush in patting motions

Olivia, I have acne prone skin, always having existing blemishes so I can't really contest to the acne factor of the foundation. I definitely didn't notice more outbreaks when I started it, so I think it'd be a good try for you.
