Does anyone know of any good makeup products for controlling oily skin?

I use Neutrogena Shine control primer, foundation, and powder and I love it. Plus it's drugstore so it's cheap lol

And your makeup doesn't get super shiny, Taylor? And Brittney, I'm looking for beauty products, like primers, foundations, etc.

No this is the first makeup that I've used that keeps me matte all day! I mean everyone is different, so I hope if you try it it works just as well for you!:)

Revlon Colorstay is good for oily skin but it broke me out.
Also invest in a primer! this is what will really control the oil. I suggest Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. I got the smaller size for $21. Also remember to use a setting powder such as L'Oreal True Match Pressed Powder or MUFE HD Powder. You can also try out the Urban Decay setting spray. For foundation check out Tarte and MUFE Mat Velvet +

Brittney, I actually have the deslick setting spray, but I'm trying to not have to resort to blotting sheets at all, with my oily skin, I get extreme make runoff so it gets all over my clothes :(((

I wish I could just put eyeshadow primer all over my face, because it works wonders on my lids, lol.

Try the benefit porefessional powder or the Smashbox oil control primer :) I would start with the sample size first just to make sure it works.

Tina, I have extremely oily skin as well, and I have found that Kiehls Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion does an amazing job at keeping shiny-ness under control!
You can use it on it's own, or as a primer.
You can get it at Neiman Marcus, of from the Kiehls website.
I cannot stress enough how much I love this product!💞

Also, using the original ivory soap to wash your face helps a lot.

This is going to sound TOTALLY crazy but it has been a life changer for me... go to the store and buy milk of magnesia (yesss the laxative) and use that as a primer. Then mix corn starch in with your foundation and apply that as a setting powder as well... it's insanely amazing how well it works.

I agree the neutrogena primer is good for oily skin. I have also heard that using milk of magnesia as a makeup primer can work wonders. Check YouTube for videos

Shauna, I will definitely consider those options. Jessica, I've heard great things about those items, but I've never actually tried them. Lauren, that sounds great, considering with those options, I wouldn't have to change my makeup regimen. Grace and Kimberly, milk of magnesia? That's a new one, HAHA! But I'll give that a try, especially since that could be a great inexpensive option.

Thanks for all of your suggestions ladies! :)

Milk of Magnesia does work but it's very bad for your skin. It doesn't let your skin breathe and it clogs pores. Many people break out after using this.

I've found that using oil as a moisturiser has really helped my oily skib calm down xx
