I quite like the MAC Pro longwear nourishing waterproof or the cover fx custom cover drops.

The MAC one is has a great formula, feels lightweight, gives a satin finish (can be powdered to be matte) lasts all day/holds up VERY well, no flashback

The cover fx drops I mix with a small amount of primer, with about 6 drops of the product and this stuff works amazing. It holds up when I'm oily, sweating, etc.but if you put too small an amount of primer it can feel kind of... Tight on the face, like you can feel that it's there for a little bit but other than that it doesn't look or feel heavy plus there's more shades but it's kinda tricky cause the product can look lighter or darker depending on what you mix it with sometimes or maybe that's just me.

Clinique anti blemish will take care of it. Mostly during the summer. It stays on and doesn't look too heavy on your skin. You can always mix it with a bit of moisturizer to lighten it up as desired.

MUFE mat velvet is my all time favorite that looks so natural but medium coverage and keeps me matte all day when set with powder - other good ones I like that are fuller coverage is the KVD and tarte Amazonian clay - but some people think they feel heavy - I just use a very small amount of product and it didnt feel heavy for me.

I love Makeup Forever HD foundation. The coverage is great and it really helps with oily skin. I also recommend trying a primer like Hourglass. It is silky and feels fantastic on your face. Paired with the foundation, it is perfect for an oily face. If you're a little unsure about trying the products, Sephora sells travel size products of these for a lesser price.

I really like Lancôme's Teinte Idole and the Estée Lauder Double Wear, they give a nice amount of coverage without feeling heavy on the skin :) Out of these two options, the Teinte Idole is lighter in feel.

I've got the Kevin Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer - it's a multi-task product, comes in a tiny tub, looks like a thick concealer. A very pigmented product; a little bit goes a long way. Has a learning curve in order to get used to its application versatility, the end results are worth it.

I have to use the SSE with a good oil-control primer, found it works best with the Kevin Aucoin Primed Skin Developer for normal/oily skins or the Natasha Denona Magic Primer Anti-Shine Flawless Face Base.

2 ways of using it as a foundation. For full coverage, put tiny dots of product all over the face then buff into skin with a beauty blender. You'll need patience, it's not a quick "slap on, buff then let's go" type of full coverage foundation. But it gives such a beautiful finish :)

For medium coverage, I mix a tiny amount of product with the KA Primed Skin Developer. The thinned out mixture is much quicker to apply. Sometimes I blend an illuminating fluid into the mix.

As a concealer, just dot and blend to areas as needed.

I've recently been wearing the Kevin Aucoin Sensual Skin Fluid foundation. It's an oil-free, very watery liquid foundation. Provides medium coverage which is matte. I also use it with an oil-control primer and my skin stays matte throughout the day. I found it best to apply with a foundation brush and do set it lightly with powder.

Another good oil control product is the Natasha Denona Phenomattic Flawless Texture foundation. It is self-setting and doesn't need powder to set after application. It gives a medium coverage and leaves a beautiful soft, matte finish which lasts the whole day. I pair the foundation with the Natasha Denona Lifting Primer Anti-Aging Serum, which acts as both an oil-control primer plus has anti-aging effects in the serum. But you could just use the foundation with another oil-control primer of your choice.

Good luck with the foundation search  ;)
