Here's a comprehensive guide on how to apply makeup on oily skin:

== Preparation and Skincare ==

1. Cleanse thoroughly with a gentle, non-foaming cleanser to remove excess oil without stripping the skin[6].

2. Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate without adding extra oil1<ref name="ref4">4</ref>.

3. Apply a face oil like Recreation Vibrant Skin to balance oil production and create a smooth base[6].

4. Massage the skincare products in with a gua sha or sculpting tool to improve circulation[6].

== Priming ==

1. Use a mattifying, pore-reducing primer focused on oily areas like the T-zone1<ref name="ref4">4</ref>[6].

2. Consider applying a light dusting of loose powder before foundation to absorb excess oil[4].

== Foundation Application ==

1. Choose a matte, long-wearing foundation formulated for oily skin1<ref name="ref3">3</ref>[5].

2. Apply foundation in thin layers using a brush or sponge[4].

3. For extra longevity, apply a thin layer of primer over the first layer of foundation, let it dry, then apply a second layer of foundation[6].

== Concealer and Powder ==

1. Use a long-wearing, matte concealer on any blemishes or under-eye areas[3].

2. Set foundation and concealer with a translucent setting powder, focusing on oily areas1<ref name="ref3">3</ref>[4].

3. Consider "baking" by applying a thick layer of powder on oily areas, letting it sit for a few minutes, then brushing off the excess[14].

== Color Products ==

1. Opt for powder blush, bronzer, and highlighter instead of cream formulas1<ref name="ref4">4</ref>.

2. Use eyeshadow primer on the eyelids to prevent creasing[13].

3. Choose matte eyeshadows and long-wearing eyeliners[4].

== Lips ==

1. Apply a matte lipstick for a long-lasting finish[1].

2. Use lip liner to define and extend wear time[1].

== Setting the Makeup ==

1. Finish with a mattifying setting spray to lock everything in place1<ref name="ref3">3</ref>[6].

2. Carry oil-absorbing blotting papers for touch-ups throughout the day1<ref name="ref3">3</ref>.

== Additional Tips ==

1. Avoid luminous or dewy formulas, which can enhance oiliness[4].

2. Layer different types of powders for maximum oil control[4].

3. Consider using a clay mask once a week to help control excess oil[5].

4. Don't skip moisturizer - properly hydrated skin is less likely to overproduce oil3<ref name="ref6">6</ref>.

5. Touch up with powder or blotting papers as needed throughout the day3<ref name="ref15">15</ref>.

By following these steps and using products specifically formulated for oily skin, you can create a long-lasting, matte makeup look that controls shine throughout the day. Remember to experiment with different products and techniques to find what works best for your unique skin.
