I'm an oily-skinned gal that loves makeup. However, it seems like all the famous beauty vloggers on YouTube have dry skin and the products they love just don't seem to cut it for me. So, I've done all the work for the rest of you oily-skinned friends and tried products on my face so you don't have to. I've compiled a list of my tried-and-true favorites that really work and make your face feel good.

1. Deep Cream Cleanser- Up & Up

I love the way this feels on my face. There's a subtle tingle that feels really cleansing in a warm shower. It's also only $3.49 so it doesn't break the bank (like some of these products, I have expensive tastes). I've always been jealous of my friends with smooth skin and this is one of those products that allows me to have smooth skin, too. I've found the best way to use this is with a silicone exfoliating pad.

2. African Black Soap Problem Skin Toner- Shea Moisture

If you spray this on a cotton pad, rub it on your face and spend a little extra time on your oily parts, this stuff really works. Filled with African Black Soap, Tamarind Oil and Tea Tree Oil, it soothes sensitive breakouts and manages oils and shine all day. This toner doesn't smell great, in my opinion. It smells very earthy and dirty but it looks great under makeup.

3. African Black Soap Problem Skin Moisturizer- Shea Moisture

I use this in my night routine as well as my day routine. It takes a while to dry down but once it does, it creates a great canvas to start your makeup. This also smells really earthy but I don't have the same problem with the scent as I do with the toner.

4. Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector- Becca

This stuff is really drying so you have to be very careful where you put it. I can only use it on my super oily parts, like my t-zone, instead of my drier areas, like under my eyes and on my cheeks. It's really matte and looks really great on top of the Black Soap Moisturizer.

5. Aqua Luminous Perfecting Concealer- Becca

I love this so much that I actually repurchased this today. It has a light, weightless formula that doesn't turn my face into an oil slick. I tried drugstore brands to no avail, I even tried to Lorac concealer for a little but nothing has felt as weightless on my face. If you get the right color, you can wear this on its own with a little extra blending. I also recommend getting this in a darker shade and using it as a contour color due to the ease of blending and the lightweightness under foundation.

6. All Nighter Waterproof Longwear Liquid Foundation- Urban Decay

While this is really great for oily skin, I don't know if I would repurchase this. It's expensive and you have to make sure you set it properly. If you forget, it can slide right off your face. Those with dry skin might find this very drying on their face which makes it perfect for those with oily skin. The color range isn't the best but it's way better than some. I'm 3/4 of the way through the bottle, though, so I hope to find another alternative. The best way I've found to apply this is with a kabuki brush. My favorite is this one from Target.

7. Shimmering Skin Perfector- Becca

I like to use this as my highlighter when I'm going out. Pairing it with the pressed powder gives your face a little extra highlight without looking so oily. It can be hard to find the line between highlighted and oily-looking and Becca hit the mark with this.
