I tend to have the opposite problem, as my skin can be dry. However, I'm a big fan of the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer:

A friend of mine also said that she swears by these blotting papers:

Ah, so you can use the blotting papers even after you put on makeup?
Primer is definitely the way to go. The Laure Mercier oil-free primer is my favorite and I tend to shine (although I have generally dry skin - ironic and unfair!)
I'm shiny too! The smashbox primer actually clogs my pores if I use it often. For me, I prefer Philosophy's The Present makeup primer. I use that with Makeup Forever HD foundation. I stay un-shiny for most of my workday before having to powder myself.
And yes, you can use blotting papers after you've put on makeup. Just make sure you press, not rub so that it absorbs the oil without messing up your makeup. Personally, I prefer to sweep with powder, but that's just me.
My best defense against shiny skin? Photoshop (or Picnik Premium). I occasionally use the blotters (which work over makeup as long as you blot and don't wipe), but they don't always work completely. Powder sometimes helps, but not if I'm sweaty at all (like I was towards the end of my wedding day)
I'm picking up blotting sheets to have on hand for the wedding day!
Dr. Feelgood by Benefit is my fave beauty product of all time. It soaks up any shine but it doesn't cake up like powder, doesn't affect yur makeup and it feels so nice and refreshing. I have turned back if I realized I forgot it at home ;)

When I wear liquid foundation, I get shiny on my forehead and next to my nose. I don't want to constantly reapply powder on my wedding. Any suggestions? Any great primers?
