Smashbox Anti-Shine

Best mattifier ever!!

I've been using this product for at least ten years now and wouldn't dream of going a day without it. Before Anti-Shine, it took about ten minutes for oiliness to break through any amount of makeup I put on my face. With it, I'm good for about eight hours. However, unlike the instructions, I use it on TOP of my foundation rather than under. Blot on a small amount from a cosmetic wedge-y sponge and it's magic!

Clinique Perfectly Real Compact Makeup

A Good Option for Oily Skin!

This is a moderately priced foundation with a wide range of colors that works well for very oily skin. I put it on dry with the enclosed sponge and it's very easy to achieve just the degree of coverage I'm looking for. It controls oil as well as any foundation I've tried and makes it through the work day just fine. It's definitely in my rotation!
