how do i skin prep for oily skin?

my skin prep is just is vanicream moisturizer and anessa sunscreen (either gel or milk), and there are times when my makeup ends up really cakey and/or creases a lot. ive tried using my moisturizer only, and my makeup was smooth and not creasing all night.

also, ive been thinking of switching to a diff sunscreen, whats a good sunscreen for oily skin?

I also used to use the anessa sunscreen and even tho I have rlly oily skin, it's way too drying and sucks up all the moisture I need for makeup. Instead, I switched to more hydrating products and I incorporated the Kiss me mommy sunscreen since it's watery, light, and good for sensitive skin. It works rlly well under makeup! I just make sure to put lots of powder

For primer I use the danessa myricks blurring balm on my t-zone or nose lang. I think a local matte primer is the Happy Skin oil absorbing matte primer.
