I have oily skin too. Everyday, as soon as I get out of the shower i aplly the Oxy maximum strength pad to my skin. As for a natural looking oil free product, try Mark Matte-Nificent. It's a very light powder, and is actually oil absorbing. I use it a lot, especially when i used to work around greasy take-out food...it really halps keep your skin clear.
you can buy it at www.meetmark.com

I am also very oily. To help control oily skin you should mask 3 x's a week cleanse and tone everyday. I love to use clean and clear cleanser In a tube with the astringent. Also exfoliate with St. Ives medicated scrub. Moisturize with an oil- free moisturizer then apply and oil free foundation ( the higher the SPF the higher the oil) then a oil free oil absorbing powder. The skin care is cheap all of those will run about $18 for the skin care. Try Prescriptives for the makeup they have a great oil free line.

Bath Junkie makes a really good Calendula moisturizer. You can add scents if you like, but they don't suggest it if you have sensitive skin. I've been using it for a year and have seen amazing results. It's something that I can do everyday after getting out of the shower. It even clears blemishes. It absorbs really fast, and I have really oily skin too and it controls it. I also use Cover Girl pressed powder it comes in different shades and lasts a long time and it is affordable.
Good Luck!

I use this moisturizer made by Oil of Olay. My skin tends to be a bit oily in some spots and this stuff works great. I wish I could remember the name 'cause I would definitely recommend it to you. It's the one that has sun screen in it also. It has SPF 30. Another good product for oil that you can apply on top of your make up is Clinique's Pore Minimizer. It comes in a long skinny tube and you rub some on your face and it instantly sucks up the oil and last pretty much all day. It's also great 'cause it helps to reduce the size of your pores. Good luck!

I have oily skin as well. I use Mary Kay's Velocity moisterizer. I am 22 and still get a small bit of acne. I use Loreal Bare Essentials (i think that's what it is called). I love it! It looks so natural and helps keep my face shine free. The only downside is that it is messy to apply. Especially for me since I have the bad habit of running late and apply my makeup in the car!

Clean and Clear moisturizers work well with oily skin. Use that before applying make up. I think the best powder out there is Bare Minerals. It's all natural stuff and definitely will not clog your pores.

I would suggest Clinique pressed powders. They are oil-free and look completely natural and flawless. Before i even begin my day i start off with using Noxzema cleansing cream. This product is also good for oily, dry or normal skin.

I too have oily skin and I love "the present" by philosophy. You can find it at sephora or QVC. It's like a clear foundation you put on before your regular foundation (mineral powder foundation is a perfect combination) and you have to let it dry for 2 min. It helps absord oil throughout the day and makes your skin look healthy and smooth.

Well before I apply make-up, I usually clean my face with rose water then apply sunscreen (my skin is very sun-intolerant but I don't know about you). This really refreshes my skin and somehow helps blend in the foundation/concealer better.
Oh and some products you can try are water-based solutions which do not clog any pores. Take a look at this site to see what I'm talking about: http://www.buymebeauty.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1845
I hope I helped!

I suggest the Bio Specific line from Yves Rocher. I also heard that the Baby Pink milk from Sasa is supposed to be quite good. And Maybelline Powder should help get rid of the oily shine...
