Makeup Tips For Oily Skin Types

Firstly ensure that the skincare products you're using are specific to your skin type. You need a good cleanser, exfoliator, toner and moisturiser and it all needs to work in harmony to help balance your skin.

You then need to create a good base for your makeup, so it has staying power and lasts all day.  I would suggest an oil-free, silicone based primer, concealer and foundation followed by a good bronzer and face powder.  Don't be overzealous when using powder, use it only where need, most likely your t-zone (forehead & down the nose and possibly chin).  

I recently discovered a great silicone based foundation made by Australian brand, Gorgeous Cosmetics.  I can't recommend it enough!

I would use a matte, powder-based eye-shadow and powder-based blush.  Finally, avoid too much shimmer as you could end up looking like a glitter ball! If you love shimmer as much as I do, use it on your collar bones and shoulders for a lovely after-sun glow!
