Whatโ€™s a good primer/foundation for SUPER oily skin?

Hello everyone, I have super oily skin and I am desperate for some help. No matter what I use after about three hours all of the makeup on my nose is completely gone because of all of the oil! Iโ€™ve tried so many products and wasted so much money because none of them work for me! Please help! I would love to hear all of your recommendations (:

Whatโ€™s a good primer/foundation for SUPER oily skin?

This has worked a lot for me: Using a night time skincare routine that is big on hydration and includes a lightweight oil, like Sunday Reily's UFO oil. If your skin is dehydrated or you've used skincare products that have stripped the moisture from your skin, your skin will overcompensate for the lack of moisture and produce more oil. Then I use the Ole Hendrickson oil control system (cleanser, toner, and gel moisturizer) and Tatcha mattifying Spf which doubles as a primer in the morning and allow it to sink in and use Cover FX Power Play foundation. I've also been using way less foundation and buffing it in. For meanyway, using less foundation means less chance of foundation cakingand noticeably breaking up. All of it together has helped my oil control through the day so much.

Try blotting before applying makeup. I used either the Hourglass mineral veil or the Benefit porefessional. For Korean brands I like too cool for school rules get ready dual primer.

Have you tried Doublewear by Estรฉe Lauder? Itโ€™s really great for my skin and I have the same oily problem. For a primer, I use the rose pore refining mix from origins. Itโ€™s very light and seems to keep my makeup on. Also, I would find a really good setting powder and bake your face. I notice that helps a lot!

Beccaโ€™s matte primer is the only thing that works for me. It takes some practice to use it well (so it doesnโ€™t leave white streaks or pillโ€”basically, use the smallest amount possible) but totally worth it. It doesnโ€™t last all day for me, itโ€™s just the best Iโ€™ve found.
