As far as oil control goes, my skin doesn't look the least bit shiny after application. I have pretty oily skin so I do have to set with powder and then touch up about 4 or 5 hours later, but certainly not as bad as when I used the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation or the Rimmel Stay Matte, or my least favorite: Clinique Even Better makeup. Even after powdering, my skin doesn't look like I'm wearing a lot of foundation, which is what I go for with foundations. I really hate feeling like I'm wearing a mask on my face. Thankfully with this foundation that's not a problem. If you've got oily skin, I would try this foundation. It's worked better for my skin than other foundations, even higher end ones, have.
