Oily skin does not need to be made completely matte. Focus on controlling movement and shine in the areas where they actually show up.

Foundation can separate when layers underneath are too slippery, product is overworked, oil breaks through, or incompatible layers disturb the base.

Primer is optional. It can help with a specific wear, texture or application problem, but it does not need to be an automatic step in every routine.
