I have the same problem!
And I have keep switching foundations and that doesn't seem to help..and I also have some acne... : (
so I am now using clinique foundation thats hypo allergenic and its pretty good but I don't think a routine can change the oilyness of the face...cause that's just what happens naturally (unfortunetly)
But there are things you can do throughout the day to help control the oil level:
- I have blotting cloths that i use, I powder my face every so often, there's this clinique product that's called a pore minimizer and it helps with T-zone shine contol...
Re: extremely oily face help ginaaaaa + other gals
I have changed many foundations ;-(
oh when ever i see my pics (with full of oil) i feel very bad ;-(
plz suggest something which is easily available in pak (karachi)
Skip the moisturizer for occassions if u're face is really oily..use a good mattifying balm/gel. A tea tree facewash/toner helps controlling oil.. use loose powder after u're foundation. Spritz water on u're face (when it shines) and blot it with tissue..and re-apply u're pressed powder.

The body shop has a couple, I love Dr. Feel Good by Benefit though :)
Rosewater is great for oily skin..also using 'besan' once a day would help as well and so will multani mitti like Gulnar mentioned.
Re: extremely oily face help ginaaaaa + other gals
I also wouldn't do icing - I think that would probably cause oil production to if i'm not mistaken. I would also skip the moisturizer and instead use a sunblock lotion.
i also have this problem..but then i found the fixing powder and i use it ..it fixes the makeup and then be it humidity or sweat or oil..nothing comes over ur face.!
also himalaya herbals neem face pack is gr8 for oily skin..it makes the skin tight and oil-free for 3-4 days..its with me like this..so whenever there is some party i use it in advance like 2-3 days before and then on party day i use clinique foundation oil-free and after i finish with my makeup i put fixing powder and it helps with the unpleasant shine on the face:)
can someone suggest a good oil-free gel based moisturizer?
how to use rose water on oily skin before makeup?
how to use besan once a day? use it as a facewash or what?

Clarins have a couple oil-free moisturizers.
U can get rosewater in spray bottles in Pakistan, spray some on and wipe it off after a couple of minutes.
Mix a teaspoon of besan with 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of yoghurt..leave it on for 20 mins and scrub it off.
Re: extremely oily face help ginaaaaa + other gals
okay, soo I have the same problem. My face is very dry, so before putting on foundation i put moisturizer but not alot. And after a while maybe 30 mins or soo, my face gets soo oily, it looks really bad in pics, I have tried many foundations such as covergirl, MAC, revlon, clinique, and also the maybelline mousse.. but sme prob with all.
ALL YOUO LADIES WITH OILY SKIN AND FOUNDATION PROBLEM:
USE MINERAL FOUNDATIONS! I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I CANT SAY ENOUGH THAT BARE MINERALS IS A SAVIOR! THEIR FOUNDATION CONTROLS THE OILINESS AND IS AVAILABLE IN EVERY SHADE, CAN BE WORN ANY TIM OF THE DAY. THERE ARE MANY OTHER BRANDS WIT MINERAL FOUNDATIONS AS WELL YOU CAN TRY.
BIOR'E'S CLEANSING GEL ALSO A GREAT CLEANSER FOR OILY SKINS, IT HELPS ALOT!
