Hi! I just wondered if you had any tips for reducing shine? My skin goes quite oily grr and I end up putting powder on a lot especially if I'm out but wondered if there's something else I can try to prevent it etc? Thankyou! :D

I have the same problem myself! There's a lot of primers (used under foundation) that claim to reduce shine but I find them useless.
I suggest a pressed powder, it can be hard to find the right shade though so a translucent one will work best, try Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder! Using a large brush use just a tiny amount swept over the biggest effected areas but avoid the eye area as the powder will settle in to lines and it's not a good look!
Alternatively you can buy Blotting Papers which you can just press onto the effected areas as and when you feel you need to but these can be quite expensive.
I'd also suggest using No7 Beautifully Balanced cleanser and toner and definitely using an oil free moisturiser. Use these in the morning and leave 10 minutes after applying your moisturiser before you apply any makeup!
Hope this has helped :)

xo.
