Extremely Oily Eye Lids, Nothing seems to work?

I have very oily skin and eyelids. I've tried eye shadow base, powder, foundation alone, foundation and powder, liquid eye liner, pencil eye liner, mechanical pencil eye liner, and every kind of eye shadow out there. I've tried Mary Kay, Bare Minerals, MAC, Clinique, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Merle Norman, and many organic lines but nothing seems to help. Shadow and liner come together to form a pasty line in the crease of my heavily hooded eyes. Eye liner under the eye, even on the edge for effect just settles in the crease under my eye that I've had since I was a teen. I've resorted to not wearing makeup because nothing seems to work. I love wearing makeup but the idea of having to blot oil off my eye lids and carry a complete makeup case around to re-apply everything is a very big hassle with an 11 year old and one on the way (3 months left!!!) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sure you've probably already tried this, but if not, have you tried using witch hazel astringent before applying anything else? It doesnt over-dry the skin, as that causes your skin to produce even more oil. I'd definately stay away from any type of pancake type foundation and other oil based ones. Also, I use the bare minerals and take just a wee bit of shadow and mix with a wee bit of water to make my own eyeliner and it works great. Since it dries to a powder, it doesnt run. And have you ever tried Revlon Color Stay foundation? If not try the liquid kind. Hope this helps and good luck. One last thing, you might also try taking 15-30mg of zinc everyday. It works really well to ease up oilyness.
