I have an oily t-zone which I keep it under control with Australis finishing powder and/or blotting papers, BUT being a huge Revlon fan, I'll be trying this new foundation - yes please, and thanks Deb :-)

I have an oily t-zone too and use blotting papers and a powder.

I have used revlon colourstay for over three years now, my mum introduced me to it because every foundation broke me out at the time. I'm 21 so my skin is still pretty oily, and colourstay is best my skin. I've tried a few others here and there, but didn't like the results that much, and always went back to my colourstay. I will be trying this when i'm half way though the bottle ive got now :) I'll look around for specials.

I am not sure what is worse, having to deal with dry skin, or oily skin. Dry skin is my biggest problem and for that I love serums.

I have the oh so common oily t-zone. Like Discomilk, I use Revlon colourstay, always being careful to choose the one for oily skin. It's pretty good, and my favourite foundation for quite some time now as it really does stay put. By the end of the day I do get a bit shiny around the nose and forehead though. I usually just use blotting papers because adding more powder makes me look 'cakey'. I'll definitely be interested in trying this new foundation, but wonder if it will have the staying power of my beloved Colourstay . . .

My skin gets oils around my nose and that's about it so I generally use blotting paper but it sounds great that the foundation can last the whole day without getting oily skin!!!

I dust my powder foundation over my face again in the evening if I need to go out. Otherwise my skin doesn't really get too oily anymore.

I have combination skin so I suffer with an oily T zone at times. I make sure I do a thorough cleanse, make sure my moisturiser is non greasy and my foundation is suitable. I like Maybelline anti age foundation although they seem to have a few more new products to choose from now. ...###Sandra

I saw this by chance at my local Kmart...Im tempted to try after my current foundation as I do suffer from an oily tzone.

This foundation sounds really fantastic for me - the Queen of Oily T Zones. Love, love love the sounds of this one!! It looks like it does a great job by the look of the demo video too - thankyou Debbie Does Demo's!! : )

i've used their colourstay foundation in the past and found it really good for controlling oil. any oil control product is great for me in the summer though

Im a combination but my problem is my foundation doesn't cover my nasties im sure there is something im missing.

I'm lucky and have normal skin so I don't have too much trouble in terms of oil control. However, on warmer days when I'm feeling flushed, my nose does get a little shiny so I either powder it or use a sheet of blotting paper to remove the shine. This Revlon foundation sounds great but I'm just curious if this would still be suitable for people with normal skin rather than oily?

I use a mattifying or oil-control primer, usually using more of it on my T-zone than elsewhere, and that seems to do the trick!

I usually get oily skin the morning AFTER removing my makeup ... so I'm assuming it's the cleanser I use. The best way I find to get rid of it is to use my Neutrogena daily facial scrub ... works a treat.

not a very attractive looking bottle but it sounds like the perfect product for summer

I have oily skin, and the only makeup i will use is Revlon's colourstay in oily/combination skin, so i might actually give this one a try :)

I have an oily t-zone and my nose is especially oily that i even get little oil drops on it!!! So bad!!
I use powder products to set my foundation and control the oil on my nose especially. I also like Clinique's even better foundation as it is formulated for combination skin and it is pretty good at keeping the oil at bay and providing lots of coverage when i need it most.

I always get shiny skin on my face, within only a couple of hours of putting on my make-up (which is only mineral powder I might add !).... it's not TOO bad really... but bad enough that I make an excuse to go to the toilet during work just so I can dab away the shine ! Reapplying powder seems to only make it worse for me ?
I have been wanting to try a liquid foundation, just for special occasions, and was wondering which one to get.... this sounds perfect, I will definitely be trying it ! :)
