The fact that you have oily skin does not exempt you from using moisturizer. All skin types need to be hydrated, but it's important to choose a moisturizer that is made specifically for you, and one that will work well with your makeup. Hyaluronic acid also help to give hydration, but make sure it is applied on damp skin.

It's likely that you've had a noon makeup meltdown if you have oily skin some times in the past. For this reason, it's a good idea to use a face primer before putting on your cream makeup.

Apply the primer to certain regions of your face or your complete face every morning after hydrating (such as an oily T-zone).
6.Spray Setting Spray before primer, then after makeup applied before Powder
Add a last spritz of Setting Spray to help keep your look in place all day. Spray with a "X" and "T" motion to ensure complete coverage. This will ensure that your makeup stays smudge-free and fresh all day, then allow to dry before setting with a setting powder.
7.Include a clay mask in your skincare regimen.
Use this as a reason to regularly treat your skin well. Three types of clay kaolin, montmorillonite, and Moroccan lava are great formulations to help pull away the buildup of pollutants, filth, and oils and lessen the appearance of excessive shine. An even layer should be applied to clean, dry skin. After leaving it on for 10 to 15 minutes, rinse it off with water. For optimal results, use three times each week.

Just because you have oily skin does not mean you have to use all mattifying
product. You can over dry your skin which will cause your skin to create more oil because it thinks you are too dry.
