Foundation for very oily skin

Someone please help me Grin

My skin is ridiculously oily. I only ever get spots on my chin but they're mostly the under the skin fuckers that look like boulders and take ages to go.

My lunch time, my skin is so oily that my foundation is very patchy and it's so embarrassing.

Has anyone had this before and has found a decent foundation please? I need long lasting, I'm at work all day so don't want to be reapplying. I also need it to have very good coverage because my skin is plagued with spot scars that take an age to go.

Lasts all day, great coverage, minimises shine.....I even wear it to the gym and it doesn't sweat off or clog my skin.

@HundredMilesAnHour thanks! Do you reckon primer is worth the money?

I go through phases of using primer, usually when I'm doing 'proper' make-up (for work or for going somewhere glam when I want my make-up to definitely last extra-long) rather than just 'light' make-up. To be honest, I don't know if I really notice a difference with or without primer. The IT CC cream is very long-lasting so I think you can get away without primer. (I do have an IT primer but the particular one I use isn't available in the U.K.)

I don't have oily skin and I tried the fenty foundation. It was a disaster on me but I remember thinking it would be insanely good on oily skin! Incredibly matte

Ive got crazy oily skin too and massive pores my skins a mess!
I used to use the milk of magnesia trick (YouTube it if you haven't heard of it) which worked until they stopped making the original formula one here.
Now ive found a new trick that works wonders. I use Australia Gold Botanical tinted spf 50 under my makeup and honestly this stuff is amazing its like cement!
It's waterproof so it keeps my oil away all day, I can barely get it off at night.
I use a tiny spot of Becca's poreless primer on my nose only coz my nose gets sooo oily and then use Estee Lauder double wear foundation and then urban decay setting powder.
I've went from an oil slick to maybe even a feeling a bit too dry!!
Honestly if been through every foundation and every primer and nothing worked to keep my oil at bay but this works for me, I highly recommend.
