Make up forever HD primer! Try to use a primer that's more liquidy instead of really thick feeling (like the smashbox one)

Proactiv primer works well for me and I have combination skin. I only use it when I have blemishes tho.

If you have super oily skin try milk of magnesia. I know it sounds crazy and may not work for everyone but thats one of the best things that helped control my oil. Its only $5 if that so its worth a try. I also tried clinique's primer for a teeny tube for $18 and it did nothing for me :o/ so try whatever works for you :o)

Smashbox light primer is good. I also love smashbox anti-shine. My perfect primer is a mix of the 2. 

Laura Mercier Oil-Free Primer! The best I've used so far.

You should try smash box! They have primer for oily skin and it works very well!

Mill of magnesia definitely works, almost too well! MOM helps give a very, very matte finish with lasting power.
