Oily skin types

At the end of the day, I seem to have a mild oily complexion. I get home from work and wash my face right away. That is after a 9-10 hour day. I am worried about my wedding day. Any suggestions how to control it or what I should have my MOH hold in terms of cosmetics?

Greasy Guinea checking in. I swear by the Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil blotting tissues. So long as you blot and don't wipe, all makeup should stay intact.

Are you having a makeup artist do your face - maybe s/he could recommend a mattifyer or something?

What seems to work great for me are those oil blottting papers, they dont' smear makeup and do a really good job. Clean and Clear makes them

I have really oily skin too. Smashbox cosmetics makes a anti-shine product that goes under your makeup and keeps your face matte. This usually works for me.

I shine all day long! I love Dermadoctors 'tease zone' for shine control You put it on before make-up. It's the best stuff I've found so far. And like the other girls, I use blotting papers, much better than layering on more powder!
