oily/combo skin

Hi, for the past couple of years my face has been so oily! Especially on my t-zone. Ive been using the ordinary glucoside cleanser, Anua Heartleaf toner, salicylic serum, and beta-glucan moisturizer. Through out the day my face would get oilier and oilier. By the time I get home it'd be looking like I just ran a marathon! ; Recently Ive been trying to get into light makeup such as concealer, mascara, etc. and after a couple of hours the makeup would be running down my face. Is it the way I cleanse? The products? Please give any advice! Much appreciated!!

@Sofia192 Do you use waterproof mascara (and eyeliner if you use it)? If you don’t maybe try that, the essence lash princess one is pretty good in my opinion (the blue and black bottle is the waterproof one). And a waterproof eyeliner (if you use eyeliner) that i like is the L’Oreal infallible grip gel mechanical liner. 
Maybe try a different setting spray. The MILK MAKEUP Mini Pore Eclipse Mattifying + Blurring Transfer-Proof Setting Spray 1.3 oz / 40 ml (this is the smaller size in case you just wanted to test it out) and the Elf setting spray in the green bottle is pretty good as well.
Spraying the setting spray first and then lightly setting your face with pressed powder is supposed to help your look last longer vs using setting spray after powder, so try that! 
Also, you could look into keeping blotting papers in your bag to soak up oil throughout the day. Palladio’s Rice Paper Facial Tissues are made of rice paper and are lightly powdered; they’re really good, you can get them on amazon and they’re pretty affordable.
