How to control shine after makeup?

[gabpedroza]

Looking for a way to prevent shine post application.

Right now I use  Pore-fessional then color correct then apply some concealer then apply Too Faced Born This Way Foundation then use some colored setting powder and I still get shine while my face IRL looks cakey. 

Any thoughts? Oh and for the most part I use a Beauty Blender with a makeup brush to touchup in case I miss any spots.

I use Laura Mercier setting powder on top of my makeup, which does not make me look cakey at all:

For touchups during the day, I use this PTR powder, which is so easy to use on the go:

So many good ideas on how to combat shine! When I find myself having troubles with oil or that foundation simply looks shinier than I would like, I will start with the COVER FX - Mattifying Primer With Anti-Acne Treatment. Then, after applying my foundation, I'll set it with the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Longwear Setting Powder Translucentas well as the URBAN DECAY - All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray. I hope one of these works for you!

Thanks for the advice. Will definitely try these products out during my next visit!

TOO FACED - Primed & Poreless Pressed Powder- I have a super oily t-zone and would be shiny within an hour using regular primer. I now use this as the primer base in my T-zone and just kept using my TOO FACED - Hangover Replenishing Face Primerevery where else, but the best part is the powder can be used both to prime and set, so after I've got all my makeup on, I just go back over my T-zone with the powder and it is awesome and super matte. I consider the Primed & Poreless Pressed Powder my miracle product. 🙂

Hi, @gabpedroza

If you are looking for something to control oil/shine, you might want to take a look at the foundation you are using. Born This Way has moisturizers, and gives a radiant finish. Foundations like the TOO FACED - Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation – Peaches and Cream Collectionor the ESTéE LAUDER - Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundationare intended to provide a more matte finish.

Not sure what setting powder you are using, but there are also mattifying setting powders you could try. 

A mattifying setting spray could also help. Something like URBAN DECAY - De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Sprayis intended to control oil and shine. You can also find some good, less-expensive matte setting sprays by NYX and Catrice.

@gabpedroza It could also be the setting powder that you’re using! I use the TOO FACED - Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder – Peaches and Cream Collection, which is specifically made to address oil and shine, and I have no issues with that throughout the day! I have also used the COVER FX - Matte Setting PowderaNd tried the MILK MAKEUP - Blur + Set Matte Loose Setting Powder. I find that the powders specifically designed for oilier skin were much more effective compared to others, like the KVD (which I actually didn’t like at all), or the Laura Mercier (which I like but can only wear on days when my skin is on the drier side)

@gabpedroza You might need to use a primer to prevent shine control like MAC Skin Refined Zone or Make Up For Ever Mattifying Primer and URBAN DECAY - All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray to set everything.

It could also be the foundation isn't working for your skin type.
