How to choose a good foundation for oily skin?

Before we begin... Don't forget to check out my great gift ideas for the holidays.

A good foundation for oily skin is a foundation that doesn't have oil in it. You should always look first and see if the label says "oil free". Products that have oil in them, will clog the pores, make the skin look worse, and by that i mean dirty looking and greasy and eventually lead to breakouts and blackheads. A foundation with the "oil free" label is water based and therefore is more friendly to this type of skin.

Foundation can be found in different forms: liquid, stick, powder, creme and mineral. The liquid foundation works best for oily skin. It blends well, covers breakouts and blackheads and does a better job when it comes to oil production. Stick foundation tends to look a bit like a mask, harder to apply and looks dirty and heavy when the skin begins to shine. Powder foundation is also a foundation that is not so easy to apply, i like to compare it to buying shampoo plus conditioner in one - it is simply not the same as buying each one apart. The best combination is to buy a good liquid foundation and a good clear oil blotting powder. Mineral foundation comes also in a powdery form and unfortunately doesn't give a good coverage. The coverage is very light and the pores, which are usually large and open when you have oily skin, are not covered well.

To sum things up, find a liquid moisturizer, and we have a list of recommendations below, that is oil free, blends well with your skin (test it on your face and not only on your hand since the skin color is often different). Make sure to apply it after washing your face with a good cleanser for oily skin and applying an oil free moisturizer. Use your fingers (clean fingers! we don't need more breakouts) or a sponge to apply the foundation. After a minute or two, powder the t-zone area with a clear oil blotting powder to get that matte look.

Oily Skin Foundation Review


Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation


If you have read a bit on foundations on the Internet, you must have seen a lot of recommendations on this product. This is not by accident, this is a great foundation that has many fans in the oily skin care "community", as i like to call it. It is oil free, gives beautiful coverage, doesn't clog the pores and stays put for long hours. It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Clarins Truly Matte Foundation Light Reflecting SPF15


This is another great product. It has an anti-shine solution which helps to control the shine for hours and this is why we love it! It gives medium coverage and comes in eight different shades. It is easy to hide breakout and blemishes with this one and the outcome is even and natural when applied with fingers. Not less important, it has spf 15, which is really good for us light skin girls, but recommended for everyone, because we all know how harmful the sun is.

Illuminare Ultimate All Day Foundation Concealer Florentine Fair


This is an oil absorbing matte finish makeup. We recommend it because it doesn't block pores. It provides medium coverage and keeps the skin shine free and natural looking. What special about this foundation is that it actually doesn't require additional powder or blotting after applying. Although it comes on a small tube, you will be surprised to find out that it lasts a very long time because applying it requires small amounts.
