foundation for oily skin?

[mayenni]

I have oily skin because of the acne medication that I use.All of the foundations I've used make me look really oily after an hour or two.I use powder with my foundation but that barely helps,and clogs my pores from reapplying too much.I need help finding a medium coverage foundation that doesn't leave me all greasy.liquid or powder is fine.Thanks

I like MUFE's matte velvet + foundation and for powder, I love Almay's pressed powder for oily skin. I use it in the summer for when my skin is the oiliest.

Carry powdered blotting paper (Shiseido, NARS, etc...). It soaks up all the oil without disturbing the makeup. It fits right in your pocket.

Hi Mayenni, I use either NCN liquid mineral makeup [very sheer coverage] or Everyday Minerals makeup for more coverage. To control oil, I apply a silk/pearl paste primer underneath foundation and top of with silk and pearl powder to set it. I continue to carry blotting papers around with me but seldom need to use them because I no longer get the shines within a couple hours of applying my makeup...

Here's a couple other threads with more recommendations, hope this helps!

Personally, I think you can't go wrong with mineral foundation. It doesn't clog pores like some foundations do and most come with a finishing powder (like BE Mineral Veil). Blotting papers and MAC's Blot Powder are also an oily girl's best friend!
