Why it's great: According to readers, you can say goodbye to creased eye shadow with this Too Faced primer. Users say this product helps their eye shadow "last all day" — even through "hot, humid weather." They promise that eye shadow "will never fade, crease or smudge" after priming with this product. Reviewers agree that it's "worth every pretty penny."
Why it's great: Reviewers are smitten with both the packaging and value of this refillable case of blotting papers. "The blotting paper comes in a superchic and handy case," says a reader. "The mirror inside is definitely a very helpful addition. Also, the blotting paper itself is of very high quality."
"For my oily skin, blotting paper is a must," another reader writes. "This is so pretty to keep in my purse and subtly pull out when I need one."
Why it's great: "I'm a woman [with] oily skin, and in the summer it gets horrendous," says one reader. "This [primer] is my favorite hands down. It minimizes my pores, keeps me matte and my makeup ... stays in place."
Other users agree, adding that the product "does a great job of filling pores" and helps makeup go on "much smoother." The bottom line? "This is one beauty product that every oily girl should have in her makeup routine!"
Why it's great: Readers appreciate that these blotting sheets "absorb oil without disturbing makeup ... and leave your face shine free." One reviewer writes, "I've been blessed and cursed with oily skin. I cannot leave the house without a pack of these in my bag. I use about three per day, and they are amazing."
Why it's great: Reviewers agree that this "light, oil-free" and long-lasting primer is "the best primer ever" for oily skin. "I have extremely oily skin and enlarged pores," says one reader. "This primer keeps my oil under control and minimizes the appearance of pores."
Another user says, "I have oily skin, acne and acne scars.... This primer not only mattifies my face for hours, it helps my makeup last and go on smoother than ever."
Here's an all-too familiar scenario: Every morning you cleanse, prime and mattify your skin to pore-less, oil-free perfection. But by the time you walk through your office doors, you need another dab of powder — and by midday, it looks like you've slathered a layer of Crisco on your face. What gives?
For those of us with oily skin, the problem is not the lack of products for oily skin — it's the fact that they never seem to work. The magical powder that mattifies everyone else's face slides off your T-zone in hours, and those oil-blotting sheets that work like a charm for your friend do diddly-squat for you. So, what's a glistening gal to do? Stay chained to your powder compact?
Not anymore. Our readers tested every skin-care and makeup product out there for oily skin, which determined this list of oil-control products that really work. No more wandering through the skin-care aisles, gambling on oil-control primers to find the ones that will finally mattify your lovely mug. These products for oily skin (including foundations, powders, cleansers and more) truly are the cream of the crop. The best part? Most of the oil-control products on this list are under 20 bucks. Now, let's count down to No. 1.
