1. Blotting Papers

Do you girls carry around blotting papers with you? This is a great makeup tip for an oily face to keep the oil off of your face and to keep your makeup looking so great! For me, Bobby Brown's oil blotting papers are some of my favorite! What brand do you use ladies?

2. Oil Control Foundation

If you really do have a huge problem with oil on your face, another makeup tip for an oily face is to switch your foundation on over to a foundation that has a bit of oil control inside of it. That way, you'll be able to control the amount of oil that you have on your face, but still be able to wear a great foundation!

3. Primer

Makeup primer is also a great way for your oil to be kept under control, as primer is designed to keep your makeup looking beautiful. What's your favorite makeup primer? For me, it's all about Urban Decay! Their makeup primer lasts all day and it truly helps keep my makeup on all day and also controls my oil! Try this makeup tip for an oily face ladies and let me know how it works out!

4. Light Moisturizer

The moisturizer that you choose to put on your skin before your primer and before your foundation can actually matter girls! If you put on a really heavy moisturizer, most likely you'll end up with even oilier skin! Just keep it light!

"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."

5. Specified Oily Skin Cleanser

Another makeup tip for an oily face all revolves around what you use to clean your face with. Using a cleanser that is specifically designed for oily skin is a great way to combat that oil even before you start to pile on the makeup! Just a little dab and a little scrub and you'll see a huge difference in how your skin looks girls!

6. Oily Control Powder

Oily skin is never bad, as long as you know how to control it and as long as you have the products to control it – such as oil control powder! This makeup tip for oily skin all revolves around keeping the oil out and the shine down! Neutrogena is definitely my favorite brand for oil control powder – give it a try!

7. Lemon Juice before Moisturizer

If you're looking for a natural way to kick the oil from your skin ladies, just apply a bit of lemon juice to your skin and pat dry. Lemon juice actually sucks all of the oil on out of your skin, but you do want to make sure that you are moisturizing afterwards, because lemon juice can dry you out a little.

8. Toner

Using toner before you moisturize is another great makeup tip for an oily face, as it can help keep that oil away and help keep the shine down. Just a little toner on the oiliest areas and I promise girls, you'll notice a huge difference!

9. Ice Your Real Oily Areas

Finally, it might seem a little strange, but if you actually ice down the real oily parts of your face, you'll begin to see a huge difference in how much oil is produced throughout the day. Just take a bag of ice (for me, it's my T-zone) and place it on your oiliest zones and just see how different your skin looks!

There you have it ladies! My top makeup tips for an oily face that will kick that oil right out. So girls, what other makeup tips for an oily face do you have to share?
