HI there! I'm a Clinique rep and also a very oily gal. I have used everything from Lancome to Lauder and so far the best make up I have found is Clinique's Clarifying Makeup (in the tube, not the powder makeup). It makes my oily skin look flawless and stays put all day. It's also got active ingredients that prevent breakouts. It's been a miracle for me. It runs $19.50 a tube, and there's really not a wide range of color choices. I think if you can get a Clinique rep to match you with a color, you'll LOVE the makeup. Save your box %26amp; receipt - try it, and if you don't like it, you can always return it. Clinique will take it back within the first month.





To be honest, I haven't worn MAC foundation, so it may be fantastic. I do like their shadows. But for me, this is the makeup that finally solved my problem. Good luck!
i had the SAME problem!


I use MAC Studio Fix Powder.


but my face get oily again after a few hours as well, and what i use, is Oil Blotting Papers.


You Can buy them anywhere. Like Walgreens or Sallys. Just ask someone who works there. it gets rid of ALL the oil and leaves your face shine free! But make sure you pat it, not rub. And they wont take off the rest of your makeup!





Hope that Helps!

I have that same problem as well but i use mac and my face is not oily until a couple of hours later
