one thing is make sure your lotion, primer, and makeup products are all water based rather than oil based, and mixing water and oil based products can make patchiness try the l’oréal red bottle setting spray (on til dawn dupe), it might be able to hold on your makeup so you can use oil blotting sheets throughout the day

Use a mattifying primer

I haven’t tried this yet, but I have the same problem and plan to buy a mattifying fixing spray. Setting spray makes me look oilier. But, fixing spray should help make the makeup last longer, too (according to an oily girl on yt)

tried that and tried using a mattifying sunscreen and mattying primer over it it ends up more oily as when my nose is dried out from the mattifying it makes it produce more and is even worse then without it

i make sure to only use one or the other whenever i do my makeup thank you! i have seen a lot about that setting spray i have seen that it dries your skin out more then the til dawn one and that will make my nose even more oily😅

i do and i use a setting spray to melt my powders into my skin in between steps and i’ll keep pressed powder with me and use that to help with the oils but it will cause my makeup to cake up or come off as i apply it

Oh no I’m sorry. I’m not sure how else to help. Maybe a few YouTube videos can pinpoint what you’re wanting

yes! setting spray is used to melt your powders into your liquids fixing spray is used to lock it all in and make a barrier basically it is like a top coat so your polish doesn’t chip
