If you’re like me and struggle with oily skin and large pores, finding the right products can be a total game-changer. After testing tons of options, here are some of my top Sephora-approved favorites that actually work—and keep oil under control wit...
This oil-free moisturizer is a dream for oily skin. It hydrates without being heavy and helps control shine throughout the day. Plus, it’s packed with Japanese botanicals that leave your skin looking smooth and refined
The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Refillable Moisturizer
A must-have for keeping your makeup in place. It gives a slightly tacky base that grips foundation without making it greasy. Bonus: It’s hydrating without clogging pores.
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gripping Primer
This is a holy grail for oily skin. It gives you a flawless matte finish that lasts all day. Plus, it’s buildable and comes in a huge shade range.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Foundation
This cult classic is amazing for setting your base. It keeps your makeup locked in and helps blur pores without feeling heavy or cakey.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
A true staple. This setting spray controls oil, extends wear, and keeps your makeup looking fresh—even in hot or humid weather.
Perfect for prepping the skin before makeup. It tightens pores, reduces excess oil, and helps with texture over time.
Balancing Force™ Oil Control Toner
Creamy but matte (yes, it exists). I love using this to spot conceal or even under the eyes on humid days. It never creases or gets shiny.
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer Pot
This one is a little pricey, but it's WORTH it. It keeps oil at bay and smooths everything out like a filter. On days when I skip this, I definitely notice more shine and less staying power.
Veil Mineral Primer
I alternate between this and Urban Decay All Nighter. This one gives a more “soft matte” finish and I swear it makes my makeup look better the longer I wear it.
Airbrush Flawless Waterproof Setting Spray
This powder is so finely milled and sets makeup like a dream. It’s great for baking under the eyes and locking in your T-zone. I use this on glam days or when I need my makeup to last all night—it seriously doesn’t budge.
These go viral for a reason! The matte shades are perfect for oily skin. A tiny dot goes a long way and lasts forever without turning greasy. “Bliss” is one of my go-to’s for a natural flush.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
An OG product that’s still popular for a reason—it smooths over pores and makes everything look airbrushed. I like using this just in my problem areas (like nose and cheeks) before foundation.
