What's a good line of makeup for very oily skin?

Can anyone recommend something? I have a hard time with makeup - it has usually ';melted'; off after a couple of hours. I don't want to look very ';made up'; - something natural looking would be better for me. I am 31 with VERY oily skin (acne and blackhead prone, large pores).What's a good line of makeup for very oily skin?
EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE





Use cleaning face wash from oil of olay to dove.





By mildly abrading your skin with exfoliating agents, you will remove the surface layer of dead cells. Afterward, fine lines will be less visible and your complexion will glow.








Steps:


1. Moisten your face with water before exfoliating.





2. Use a loofah, exfoliating gloves or a synthetic scrubbing sponge designed for the face.





3. Apply an exfoliating cleanser specially designed for faces to the loofah or sponge. Some exfoliating cleansers contain up to 25 percent pumice, and these should never be used on the face.





4. Rub your face with the loofah or sponge using circular motions. Avoid scrubbing under the eyes, because the skin there is thin and easily damaged by abrasive cleansers and exfoliating sponges.





5. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water. Hot water is harsh on skin, especially delicate face skin.





6. Apply a moisturizer containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids. These acids will continue the exfoliating process, because acids cause additional dead skin cells to slough off.





7. Try an exfoliating mask. Make one by mashing up a papaya and smearing it on your face. The enzymes help exfoliate the skin. Rinse off thoroughly after 15 minutes.





Tips:





Use products designed for the face only. Those meant for the rest of your body may be too abrasive and irritating for your face.





Your skin may tingle after using alpha or beta hydroxy acids. This is normal and should go away after 15 minutes.





Be diligent in keeping moisturizer on your face at all times if you exfoliate regularly. Exfoliating causes the skin to dry out, and dry skin is an invitation for skin to wrinkle.





Warnings:





Never overexfoliate with excessively abrasive exfoliating cleansers, or you run the risk of bursting the delicate blood vessels under the skin. If the vessels burst, your skin may appear permanently flushed. This condition, known as telangiectasia, must then be treated using laser surgery.





Well as a make up artist I always tell the people that you should always have a 100% oil free face. If you dont remove make up that is one cause of the face looking extra shiny(glowing). So you can use any make up , just make sure that it is oil free, if not it could clog your pores, or more or less could open them and you dont want that.





I hope that helps.What's a good line of makeup for very oily skin?
Consult with a cosmetician; they're trained to answer questions like this. Alternatively, a beautician may be able to help. Don't be surprised if you have to try several different product lines before finding one that meets your unique needs.
I don't have oily skin however a friend of mine use Bobbie Brown and MAC for her oily skin, BB is more expensive compare with MAC but they're both good quality as they're under the same cosmetics company.





Give a try at both of them, ingredients of BB is better then MAC.
the rimmel stay matte makeup(powder and foundation) is cheap and works pretty good throughout the day
try talking to a mary kay consultant, they have many products for oily skin.
I have very oily skin and I use Bare Essentials. I love it. It absorbs the oils and stays on all day. I also have acne prone skin and its helped with that also. Its worth the cost.
