E/s primer ~ I like Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Face primer ~ Smashbox Photofinish Light is good. I think Laura Mercier's oil-free primer is supposed to be good. That said, primers aren't made to keep the oilies at bay; they're to prepare your skin for makeup and help it stay on. Oil control is down to your skincare routine, IMO.
Now you're all gone, got your makeup on, and you're not coming back

Hi! I have super oily/shiny skin and I get a pretty good result mixing the monistat chaffing gel
That everyone always talks about and the sephora mattifying primer!

Hi,
My eyelids are pretty oily. I use a primer from Urban Decay and it doesn't seem to work! After 3-4 hours from application, I can see a line formed on my crease from the foundation I use. My routine is usually Toner/Serum/Sunscreen/Face Primer/Foundation/Concealer/Eye Primer/Loose Powder. I tried to apply Eye Primer before foundation and still, it didn't work. I heard the rave about UD primer but I guess it's not suitable for me? Is the primer from SmashBox good or are there any other brands for very oily eye lids?
