Wash your face 2 times a day using a shine control cleanser. Also use powder to set your foundation and concealer (Maybelline Dream Matte or MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural). If you still get oily carry around blotting papers around with you.

It' better if you use face product without silicons (because they close your pores and favorite production of oil).
You shoul try a finishing silica powder (but you can use it olso before the foundation), like this http://www.makeupworld.it/2010/01/12/make-up-forev... or this http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/product~prodID~144.h...

I have this same problem, but it has gotten better since i have been using things especially for oily skin:
use products that help combat oily skin - clearasil is very good!
use a primer for oily skin this will not only help your makeup stay but will absorb excess oil
use blotting pads, these soak up excess oil on the face too
use foundation for oily skin if needed
and use a powder to soak up oil, you may need to apply powder throughout the day anyway.
Hope this helped!

Depends what kind of primer you use. You need to get a primer that is oil-FREE or a MATIFYING primer. You can't just use any primer. Also, the moisturizer you use before, maybe it's a little too oily/greasy for your face so maybe you should check out other moisturizers made specifically for oily skin at your local drugstore.
Anyways, just using a foundation and concealer for oily skin will NOT do the trick on preventing it from being oily. Oily-ness depends ALL on how you take care of your face, the lotion you use on your face, the type of primer, type of foundation and type of concealer as well.
Do you POWDER your face with a MATTE powder after applying your foundation and concealer?
Your pores ALSO may be really big and that is the cause of oil leaking out of your nose area, chin, and lip area. Find some pore refining products again at a local drugstore.
Skincare: Make sure you wash your face EVERY night and EVERY morning with a GOOD cleanser [preferably one that is oil-free or isn't so moisturizing], remove your makeup before washing.
Makeup: The brand of foundation/concealer you're using may not be good kind... it may also have oil in it, try using a MATTE foundation or a foundation that drys to a powder finish.
Revlon ColorStay foundation for combination/oily skin is GREAT for staying power, it gives just about full coverage and isn't too oily, just be sure to POWDER YOUR FACE.
I can't mention how powdering your face is soooo important, you NEED to after applying makeup, and applying it throughout the day.
Or use blotting sheets of paper, you can get those at the local drugstore as well.
I hope that all will help you.

I had the same problem and I solved it with zinc! Often the problems we see on the outside come from the inside issues of our bodies. You can go to your local Walgreens or Walmart and find Zinc tablets. I suggest you buy the ones with 50mg. Take 2 caplets of Zinc 50mg a day, but ONLY after you eat a big breakfast or big dinner. Swallowing pills on an empty stomach will make you sick and drowsy and you'll feel like you wanna throw up - that happened to me few times! Hopefully this will minimize your oily skin, like it did for me. :)
