girls with oily skin

I went off Birth Control about a year ago. I was on it for 10 years. Once i went off my skin completely changed and now it gets very oily by the end of the day. I hate it.
I use a liquid foundation in the morning with powder ontop to set it. By 3pm im oily. I got a pressed powder compact... but feel like im just layering the makeup and it is too thick. Anyone have any recommendations?
And any recommendations for a good moisturizer that wont make me greasier?
Thanks

My makeup melts off of me by midday as well.

At the advice of my aunt, who has the same issue, I started using Mac Oil Control Lotion about 3 weeks ago and what a difference!!! Highly recommended.

You only need a tiny amount so it lasts forever. I put it on after my moisturizer, before my makeup in the places I have the 'melting' problem.

My skin used to be much more oily, I could not have survived without blotting papers, they get rid of all shine/oil without caking on the makeup.

I have used oil of olay moisturizer (for sensitive skin) for as long as I can remember. At night I use Avalon organics vit C oil free moisturizer. Love it!!

I think a primer is also key, I use the monistat anti-chafing gel ( thanks to the girls on here) and it is fantastic, just like my expensive primers. I use it on my eyelids too.
