How can I stop my face shining like a beacon!?!

Recently my face has been getting really shiney although I think this is a lot to do with the hot weather we've had. By the time I finish work at 1.00pm my face is so shiney and feels so oily/sticky.
I have been using moisturisrr then tinted moisturiser and then a light dusting of powder.
I don't like to use much powder as it shows up all the little blonde hairs on my face!
What can I do to get rid of the shine and greasy feeling?

My face is really shiny, but I put some Milk of Magnesia on as primer and NO shine. It's amazing! Here

I have bought every product under the sun, cheap and expensive, the boots is the only one that works and lasts all day.

oilsheets
I like these aswell. I keep them in my make up bag and then at work, press them onto skin and they absorb all the sweat/grease. Then you throw the sheet away.
They work really well.

Primer, primer, primer. Try a bunch, as they all seem to be very different, and everyone I know swears by a different one. I love Smashbox's primer, but hated Benefit's and No. 7 ones.

Have you tried just using the tinted moisturiser?

Lanacane anti chaff gel is exactly the same ingredients as the smash box one but for a fiver instead of ££s.
