I have oily skin, which foundation?
Hiya!





An attractive makeup application must begin with a foundation that blends smoothly and evenly, merging with your skin. Even if you feel that you need a foundation that provides good coverage, obvious coverage is a mistake and can negatively affect your entire makeup application. The primary goal when shopping for foundation is to be sure it matches your skin exactly. Avoid ever buying a foundation to alter skin color because in daylight or office lighting, it will appear completely unnatural.


I have listed below the types of foundation good for oily skin...but like every person is different, every skin too is different... so you must check any of these foundation on your skin (with a tester) to see if it gives you the desired effect.


All the companies named are the ones which I have tried and they are really good and long lasting.





Ultra-matte foundations


These are an amazing group of medium to full coverage products that truly stay put. Most have a very liquid consistency but dry quickly on the skin. The good news is that today's ultra-matte foundations are noticeably easier to blend and more forgiving of mistakes.





Pros: These foundations are a superior option if you have seriously oily skin, have trouble with makeup slipping or disappearing as the day goes by, live in a humid climate, exercise but still like having your makeup stay put, or like a completely matte finish. Ultra-matte foundations will outlast any other foundation, with no slippage or movement. If you have very oily skin, these are an absolute must to try.





Cons: The disadvantages to using ultra-matte foundations are that many of them go on rather heavily and look masklike, leaving the skin feeling very dry and taut. In order to get this makeup on evenly, you must blend quickly or it will dry in place before you know it, and then it can be difficult to blend further. Ultra-matte foundations have less movement than more emollient foundations, which means eyeshadow and blush have a tendency to stick to them; that can make blending and correcting mistakes a bit irksome. Women of color should be careful when choosing ultra-matte foundation. Even if it is the right color, these foundations can tend to look gray and ashen after being applied to darker skin tones.





Ultra-matte foundations are also the most difficult type to remove. The number of ultra-matte foundations is dwindling, as women have undoubtedly had problems with them. This is unfortunate, as these ingenious formulations can work so well for truly oily skins.





Products Worth Trying:


Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup SPF 10 ($32), Maybelline EverFresh Makeup SPF 14 ($7.49), and Revlon Colorstay Stay Natural Makeup SPF 15 ($10.99)

Oil-free and matte liquid foundations


A well-formulated oil-free or matte finish liquid foundation should have a smooth finish with no shine or dewy appearance. Ideally, this appearance should last for at least a few hours, but in the long run, this depends almost entirely on how oily your skin is. Most oil-free and matte liquid foundations provide sheer to medium coverage.





Pros: These foundations are the best choice for women who want balanced coverage with minimal to no shine, and who like a smooth, matte look. They last much longer on oily skin or over oily areas than most other foundation types.





Cons: All in all, there aren't many disadvantages to using this kind of foundation but some of them can make the skin look or feel dry.





Products Worth Trying:


Clinique Stay-True Makeup Oil-Free Formula ($16.50), Estee Lauder Equalizer Smart Makeup for Combination Skin SPF 10 ($32.50) and Paula's Choice Best Face Forward Foundation SPF 15 ($12.95).





OR





Liquid-to-powder foundations


These liquidy powders with a gel-like wet feel, apply easily and dry to a satiny-smooth, slightly matte finish. They typically contain water as the first ingredient, along with a slip agent such as glycerin. In contrast to cream-to-powder foundations, liquid-to-powder foundations feel lighter on the skin. They also tend to last longer over combination or oily skins since the creamy, waxy ingredients are either decreased or absent.





Pros: Liquid-to-powder foundations blend on quickly and relatively easily and provide a semi-matte to matte finish with sheer to medium coverage. They work great for someone with normal to oily or slightly combination skin. The consistency doesn't require powdering after you apply it.





Cons: Liquid-to-powder foundations dry quickly and can blend on choppy. This type of foundation does not work well over dry skin, because the water portion tends to cling to dry areas, leaving a powder finish that is not easily moved. The product itself must be kept tightly closed, as the water component will evaporate if it is left exposed to air. Some of the compact liquid-to-powder makeups can break apart if you are not careful.





Products Worth Trying: Borghese Molto Bella Liquid Powder Makeup ($35.50), Cover Girl AquaSmooth Makeup SPF 15 ($8.50), and Vincent Longo Water Canvas Cr猫me-To-Powder Foundation ($52.50).





Some more make up tips:


So... your best makeup investments and tools are: a light gel hydrating lotion, a makeup primer (which is silicone-based), conceal first then lightly apply a foundation designed for oily skin, finish with an oil absorbing powder (use a press release motion w/ a clean powder puff for max anti-shine). Stick to matte natural colored eyeshadows and cheek color, lots of waterproof mascara to bring your eyes out and a shimmer lipstick for some fun!





Suggested foundations: Pro brands to check out: Vincent Longo water canvas, NARS balanced foundation, Shu Uemura uv liquid, Stila Pivotal Skin and M.A.C studio fix. For dept store lines check out: Clinique superfit, Maybelline true illusion, or L鈥橭real feel natural 2-way.





Basically, you need to find the foundation that works w/ your skin, and gives you the results of: a nice matte finish, good coverage, is long wearing and doesn't clog your pores.





When you are doing your makeup, make your eyes or lips your feature, and be gentle w/ yourself, as skin undergoes many changes throughout our lifetime. So look after your skin, drink lots of water, eat a well-balanced diet, exercise moderately, and feature focus your makeup maximizing your best asset, whether it is your beautiful eyes or your gorgeous smile!





Have fun!!


Cheers!
I have oily skin, which foundation?
Try Proactive they have do have a Make-Up Line
Reply:Clinique, at any department store. It's alright priced but it works miracles on oily skin. Or combination skin. It's about 10 dollars or 15 for a bottle of lotion and foundation...they have people who'll work with you to find the right type of lotion or foundation for your skin too.
Reply:Almay sports! Fabulous stuff. I have very oily skin on my T zone and have tried and failed with many various foundations over the years. I have recently discovered this and it is truely the best. Stays put and looking divine all day. Excellent coverage and light on the skin. Almay Sports! Shout it from the rooftops!.
Reply:Loreal makes a new foundation which is pure minerale or something like that. It is a powder foundation that u apply with a brush, which comes with it. I have combo skin and it's a great medium coverage PERFECT for summer and my skin looks great all day--no shine or clogged pores. Good luck!

don't use make up no matter how good it claims to be it will only make your skin worst.


it worked for me!!!
Reply:have the same problem and tried so many foundations, i tried mary kay cream to powder and it worked really good, and then i tried one a little more espensive (lancome) and it worked even better, lancome is the same thing but it last longer, depending on tour budget u can try either one, and also try the rice paper ,if u notice u get oily as the day goes by, press one of this papers onto oily areas it work better than caking up powder
Reply:try prescriptives custom blend foundation. not only do they mix shades and tones to match you complexion exactly but they can add ingredients specific to your skin issues (a moisturizer for dry skin ,shine control for oily skin) i have oily skin also and it helped a great deal. they blend everything together in less then 10 minutes!
