OILY SKIN: a great mattifying primer? or those mattifying powder compacts?

I have extremely oily skin.


I use a great face wash that gets rid of acne and helps a lot with shine, but I am still an oil slick an hour after putting on makeup!


I was looking at primers (Sephora, Smashbox, etc) I am wondering what is a GREAT primer for extremely oily skin?





At Smashbox, I also noticed these little compacts with white powder that are supposed to get rid of shine. Does it work?


I use oil sheets which are a god send, but I would like to not have to use 15 a day!


please help!OILY SKIN: a great mattifying primer? or those mattifying powder compacts?
i use the oil mattifier fromm mary kay, and it definitely works, because i have the same problem. it's around $13 for a small bottle, but i think it is definitely worth it! good luck!OILY SKIN: a great mattifying primer? or those mattifying powder compacts?
Using a moisturizer may help with reducing shine (using one that absorbs properly, and that doesn't feel heavy)


When you wash your face, does it feel tight or dry afterwards? If so, use another cleanser. This is likely causing the shine. A good cleanser should leave your skin feeling.. normal. It should not feel ';squeaky clean'; or tight. Overdrying cleansers can actually be worse for acne as well.





Anyways..


You can try a blotting powder, although it's a lot better to use sheets than reapply powder.


You can check out makeupalley.com or the sephora website for reviews on primers and powders.


Apparently the new Urban Decay primer that is coming out is great (there are already 10 or so 5star reviews for it, based on samples gotten online through other orders). You can check that out on the Sephora website.
