I know there are some make-up lines out there that will custom match and mix your foundation for you. I think Philosophy is one. I've never had it done, so I can't vouch for any of them, but I know they're out there and some people swear by them.

Also, I have oily oily oily skin. When I wear makeup, I look shiny around my nose and on my chin. If I blot it out, the makeup comes off too. I have a bunch of pimples on my chin this week too (like, six in a row, it's scary, I've never had this much before), so I'm depending on makeup.


Any recommendations?
Maybe try using loose powder and a brush or if you use pressed, pat it on instead of rubbing. And make sure you're using oil free foundation & powder, otherwise you've got an oil slick an hour after you put it on. I have oily skin, too, and I don't even bother with foundation any more. It just makes matters worse for me. If I have a pimple, I dab concealer only on the pimple and dust powder over it. The rest of my face I use pressed powder only.
