I have a face like this. Immediately after showering, I put a layer of jojoba oil on my face (blot off excess) and/or a really intense moisturizer (pic related, it's the one I have, I stock up during Clinique's annual super-freebie-set promotion which I think is still going on). This nips 80% of the problem in the bud. Works best if I shower at night, though. Never before doing this had I ever woke up in the morning and been inclined to call my face "glowing". It's a huge confidence boost. Then when I do makeup I start with a layer of moisturizer again and follow with Clinique Even Better foundation.

My first makeup ever was Clinique but in my teens I tried MAC and and several drugstore brands, I wanted to get away from "what my mom wears". Now I'm back to it because it just feels so much better than anything else and doesn't make me break out.

Sorry that's not a BB recommendation but there you go. My $7.99 bottle of oil from trader joes has lasted me a long ass time so far. So has my $$$ moisturizer, even though I tend to really slather it on more than necessary.
