Best primer HANDS DOWN for oily lids is Urban Decay Primer Potion. I myself have very, very oily lids. You will have no creasing with this sucker! I sometimes even just use it by itself when I'm lazy, with a little loose powder on top.

moisturizer for oily skin - Not a clue sorry hun

lengthening mascara than come in a very very dark brown color - For length i would maybe try GC last blast if your on a budget. If not you can try mac's fiberwig mascara is supposed to add tiny particles to the tips of your lashes so that it appears longer, works pretty well.

Must-Have Matte colors, frosty, shimmery etc - MAC - Try check out their new pigments called overrich. If not i would just seriously go to the counter and examine all the eyeshadows. Notable mention is maybe shale, woodwinked, satin taupe, mulch, ricepaper, parfait amour, expensive pink, juxt, humid, arena, surreal.. tons tons tons more..

Best eyeshadow primer for oily skin - I love UDPP, i've owned it for 4 months now and i'd say the little tube it comes it is becoming a little old and unsanitary. So i've moved on to Two faced eyeshadow insurance or something like that, it works just as well but the packaging is tons better.

Moisturizer - I'm liking Bobbi Brown's Oil Control Lotion a lot. Mind you it doesn't make me matte all-day, but I don't think any moisturizer does that when you have oily skin.

Lengthening Mascara - Shiseido's Natural Finish Combing Mascara is very natural with a good color selection.

As for eyeshadows, what kind of colors and looks are you going for? Basics are neutrals like Soba, Malte, Naked Lunch, Twinx, Expresso, Woodwinked, Carbon, Amber Lights...

- Satin: Sushi Flower, Juxt

moisturizer for oily skin - there are many good ones. Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel is very nice. I also like Neutrogena's oil-free Combination Skin moisturizer. For a splurge - I absolutely love Kate Somerville's oil-free moisturizer.

lengthening mascara than come in a very very dark brown color - Have you tried Lancome's Definicils? Great stuff. For a drugstore option, I like Max Factor's Lash Perfection.

Best eyeshadow primer for oily skin - my fave is MAC Untitled paint. I have tried the Urban Decay primer potion and I agree it is very good.
