Oily Skin Makeup Suggestions

Chlorine7

Can anyone recommend a moisturiser/cream/primer for oily skin in the T-zone.

I always need to blot around 11am and 3pm not matter what primer or setting powder I use. So I was wondering if anyone has over come this issue.

I use Effaclar Mat but this seems to be more for making pores look smaller and as a primer I either use Etude House No Sebum or L'Oreal Infallible.

I use Estee Lauder Double Wear as foundation. Sometimes I use Revlon Colourstay.

The problem is no matter what you use, the moisturiser/cream/primers will only make a marginal difference to your skin. You will still need to blot, albeit it may last half an hour longer than you are normally used to, but you'll still need to blot.

Murad Oil-Control Mattifier is good, however it can be too drying so make sure you have exfoliated your skin beforehand so it won't stick to any dry patches.

Primer wise I use Benefit The POREfessional PRO Balm Primer which gives a nice matte base.

I've found that you need to tackle your diet and increase your water intake to make inroads in reducing oil production. That and also using the oil cleansing method has helped too.

The no 7 primer in the white tube (I think it's called stay matte or something similar) could be right up your street if you have very oily skin - it's great at soaking up oil.

all natural collection products are good,
have you tried looking online for different sample bottles to try out? this may be helpful.

I have very oily skin but have been getting on well with Clinique's Anti Blemish Solutions foundation. Bare Escentuals does not work for me at all, but will look out for some of the other suggestions on here if I fancy a change
