Answer 2

Try brushing a finishing powder over it.  It gives a more matte finish.  

Answer 3

Well it could be the make-up. Try using oil-free foundation, or a matte type. Or you could also use Blot powder which controls shine control. Hope I helped.:)

Answer 4

Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is really good!

Answer 5

I have the same problem as you.  I think it's because I've been using foundation and cover-up from Covergirl Cosmetics, which is probably like, the cheapest makeup you can buy.  But I have a friend who advised me to try using an all mineral powder foundation and cover-up from Sephora cosmetics instead.  And her face is like, never oily.  So I think I'm going to take her advice and start using Sephora.  

Answer 6

You may have oily skin and be using an oil-based makeup.

* Try using face washes and moisturizers formulated for oily skin.

* Use powder-based makeup or at least water-based foundation.

* If the shine still bothers you, try blotting sheets.

Answer 7

You are probably using oil-based makeup on your oily skin.  I have oily skin, too (but I don't use foundation).

1.  Wash your face with a cleanser and toner specifically made for oily skin.  Use an oil-free moisturizer with SPF.

2.  Use an oil-free foundation (even better if it's mineral foundation) and concealer.  If you decide to go with oil-free liquid foundation, use a finishing powder that reduces shine, to minimize the "greasy" effect.

3.  About once a week use Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque to dry out your pores and make your face less oily, so your makeup won't look greasy.

Answer 8

i always use Netrogena face wipes  

Answer 9

you are probably using an oil based makeup.... next time you go to the store, try steering towards a beauty store to purchase the makeup... then you can request a water based foundation and it works just as well but doesnt make your skin oily... the people there should even be able to help you find your perfect shade... if you know you have water based makeup, try washing your face and using a cleanser before you apply your makeup.... hope this helps :)
