I’ve found that using a translucent powder throughout the day really helps control shine and keeps everything from getting too greasy. Also, a setting spray with a matte finish can work wonders! It might help to carry a couple of oil blotting sheets in your bag for quick touch-ups too.

A good trick I’ve found is using a mattifying setting powder, especially in the T-zone. It helps to control oil without making your skin look cakey. Also, those setting sprays that are specifically for long wear can be game-changers. I’ve had great luck with one that claims 16-hour staying power!
