Buy t-zone from Lancome..it's like $22 dollars. You put this on before you put your makeup and it will stay matt. Also, buy those oil blotting sheets. Clean %26amp; Clear sells them for $7.


Good luck!Whats The best way to apply Liquid Foundation So my face doesnt look oily/shinny?
I think that you are putting to much stuff on and try rubbing it in your hands first... OTher wise try a powder...
I have this problem when I moisturize to much or use a certain foundation. I would suggest to try a different brand of foundation or let your moisturizer set for 20 mins before applying foundation and blot the foundation on with a sponge. Through out the day possibly try clean and clear oil absorbing sheets to tame oil and shine. Good luck!=)
What type of instrument do you use to apply your foundation? I highly recommend using a foundation brush rather than a sponge or your fingertips (which can make the face oily). Lancome make a fantastic foundation brush that can easily be washed with soap and water after each use (which will help curb the oil problem you experience). Also, consider a lighter weight foundation such as Lancome's Color Ideal.

Sometimes when using too heavy of a foundation formula (or simply too much) you can experience the ';flaky'; effect. Hope this helps! And yes ... I LOVE Lancome products! Ha ha!
First of all, you should make sure that your liquid foundation is for oily skin or prevents oil breakouts. The problem here could be also that you are applying more than needed. The best option for you and your wallet is to get a foundation brush. Why is this the best? Because the foundation brush applies the foundation much easier and more effectively and it also uses less and covers in a much better way. The best way of using it is squeezing a little bit of foundation on the top of your hand or wrist. Pat the brush on it and start applying starting from the top of your face in a downward direction. It's important that you do it downward cause it covers more and seals the pores and the whole application. If you need to moisten your brush, just put a little more in your hand and do it again. You will be amazed with how much foundation this will save, as opposed to using a sponge. A sponge is just gonna over-apply, gunk it up and absorb all the foundation you can save! After this, it's important that you seal your foundation with a loose powder. This is what helps it last longer and eliminates the sheen and oiliness. If your skin is naturally oily it is normal that usually in some areas even after the foundation application that it will get shiny again. It's always best to have a compact powder to touch up your foundation, so it can always be flawless and you will never appear to be oily. I hope this helps!
I am not a fan of liquid foundation I switched to tinted moisturizer. It give you a touch of color while still doing something good for your skin. I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer take a look at it http://www.neutrogena.com/CosmeticsDetai鈥?/a>


It has actually helped me fight off zits even before they have time to become large and obnoxious.





I love it, I think you will too, try it.
make sure your applying the foundation on clean skin and you aren't moisturing too much. It could be that your not using a good enough foundation. MAC has excellent foundations, and they can recommend wich one is best for you based on your skin type. Other than that try using a finishing powder over your foundation. MAC blot powder is really good. But it sounds like you have bad foundation.
Have you tried using a makeup pad instead of your hands? You can get them at CVS or Brooks or something for maybe 2 bucks. Put a little on the pad, and dab it into your skin, don't rub %26amp; smear.Also, you should try a pressed powder. It keeps your face fro looking oily. I don't know how I ever got along without it. Just swipe it on after you put on your foundation. Here's a link in case you aren't sure what it is.

hmm, powder doesn't work? What if you switched over to JUST powder. Maybe it is the makeup you're using. You could also buy oil blotting sheets. I've never personally used them, because I'm cheap, ha, but my friend has them. She said they work great for her. Maybe you should change your face wash also. Buy one made for oily skin. Some of this probably goes beyond just the makeup you're using.





Oh and for the flaky thing... it could be dry skin. I know, you're probably thinking that since your skin is so oily, there is no way it's dry. It can be. Put a good face cream on at night. That way you don't look shiny during the day wearing it, and the dry skin will go away.
You can put on an oil control moisturizer before you apply the foundation.





But if you have naturally oily/combo skin there is not much you can do. My #1 suggestion is to purchase MAC's Blot powder ($20 will last a LONG time). It really controls the shine for at least 4-5 hours at a time. If you don't want to make such a big purchase at least invest in oil blotting sheets (clean and clear makes ok ones). Dab those on every couple hours and voila shine is removed.





Unfortunately, there is not a lot you can do to to stop it completely, you just have to manage it.
DONT!!!!


unless your face is covered in wrinkles don't use it!


use bare minerals, its the best stuff i have ever used!





if you must wear the liquid stiff put some on your pointer and middle finger and rub it around, very very very lightly, dont make it heavey, then very carefully use a brush just to rub it in and to get any extra off your face that could, throughout the day, flake and get all over your clothes and everything else you face comes in contact with.





hope i could help
put some on your finger and dab it on dont wipe or smear or try to blend it too mcuh b/c then it will luk crazy
I would try an oil-control lotion before putting on makeup. This will make your makeup last longer. I have oily skin (extremely) and have found oil control lotions the answer. Try one with Salicylic Acid in it!





Here is one I use
