I am the shiniest person ever. Nothing works for me, I've tried it all. Blotting papers are my best friend. I like Clinique's, they work really well for me. But I use shine control cleanser, powder, everything....it just is what it is. But yeah, so frustrating.

you looked INCREDIBLE in all your pics! how did your skin/make-up hold up that day???? i'm SSOOOO oily too and am scared that i'll look like a big shiny oil well in all the wedding pics!

im SO shiny and swear by mac's blot powder!!!!!

I use bare minerals makeup but when i notice shine throughout the day, i keep my blot compact in my purse and do a blot or two on my forehead and cheek area and it lasts really well. i used it throughout the wedding day and it was the best! it was SOOO hot that day so my blot powder was a necessity.

its not like youre caking on more and more makeup bc its not a foundation, its a light pressed powder that sets your foundation.

I use Cliniques 'Moisture in Control' moisturizer. I dont know what it does, but it cuts the shine in half... I am barely oily!!

Thank you so much. The makeup held up all day, but I def. did get shiny. Again, the blotting papers. My m/u person gave me her pro ones and I kept them on our table....they were a royal blue color and worked amazingly well, though I forgot to use them again before a couple of key shots but oh well. I wish I would have asked her what brand they were because they were the best I've used.

Great product I actually bought it for my brother to use on his wedding day (4 yrs ago) b/c he gets very oily.

Apply throughout the day over makeup to help prevent oil breakthrough. Note: For maximum oil-controlling benefits, apply before makeup.

This looks good to try.. and closer to my budget than other products i've seen.. Question though, is the Blended Face Powder and Brush specific to skin colors or just 1 product for everyone?
