Recommendations for oily skin❓

Im in desperate need of some products or tips for my oily skin! I have the oiliest skin ever plus i live in the Caribbean so the constant humidity and hot weather doesn't help. I've tried many products from the becca mattifying primer to KVD foundation but i still get really oily with them. Does anyone have any recommendation for primers or foundations or skincare products I can use to help control the shine

RE: Recommendations for oily skin❓

I really recommend the Estée Lauder double wear light! It has been keeping my oily skin under control for hours longer than anything else!

Boscia Porfecting White Charcoal Mattifying Treatment Primer. it changed my life!! i no longer have to blot my face for excess oil! i'm surprised nobody ever talks about it because it truly is a game changer for us oily girls. the best part is that it's also skincare so with continued use it minimizes pores and reduces oil production! i apply it after my moisturizer and it instantly mattifies me. i personally am quite minimal with my makeup on most days but if you want a completely poreless base i suggest using a pore minimizing primer because the Boscia is more of a serum if that makes sense. hope this helps!!!

I'll definitely check this out! I already use boscia's white charcoal setting spray so i'm sure this will be a great addition! Thank you!!

The Boscia makeup setting spray is similarly great! Has white charcoal and can prime and set

Same here girl. My skin is insanely oily but sometimes dry on the sides of my face. I guarantee this will help [avoid dimethicone in products bc it causes your makeup to slip off. Dimethicone is what makes your skin feel smooth and look blurred but if it's in every product then it causes mayhem and SO. MUCH. OIL! This is what I use* ole hirkinson's new mattifying facial moisturizer in the green bottle [no dimethicone or any variations]. Then I use becca cosmetics primer~ the new purple illuminating one [also has no dimethicone or variations]. Then I use either KVD or tarte rainforest of the sea [both contain dimethicone] and then you absolutely must set with laura mercier powder. If you don't then your skin won't stay@matte as long. If I'm going out I'll also add UD setting spray. This is my bullet proof plan. It hasn't failed me yet!

smashbox.jpgThis stuff is AMAZING, I myself have oily/combination skin and this holds in place for hours without making me look shinny. It also photographs really well and makes your face look matte. I would give it a try!
