SOS i'm debating if i should start wearing foundation or not but i decided to just go ahead and try one
1. drugstore preferably since i might not even use it
2. light to medium coverage since i don't want it to be too heavy
3. that doesn't transfer since i touch my face often
4. easy to apply
5. doesn't clog my pores (my acne's bad)
6. that doesn't make me look like a greaseball within 8 hours
i know that what i'm looking for is pretty impossible but just tell me anything that comes close
I like how the Revlon photo ready foundation for combination/oily skin works. Set with a pressed powder and a powder puff, LIGHTLY apply the powder though as it will make you look "cakey" if applied too much.
I forgot to mention to apply the powder in the areas that you are oily. Dab the powder puff in the powder, press the powder on the areas that are oily.
I definitely agree with Kaylah A. the Revlon ColorStay is one of the best I've tried for my oily skin. Of course you'll need to set it with a powder and a skin tone face powder is great, but if you want to try something else to set your foundation with try a translucent powder or HD powder, I use it only for under my eyes. That's what I use to set my concealer. Hope this helps!

I absolutely love Revlon Colorstay. It seems to be the only foundation ive used that doesnt cake up and make my face look nasty throughout the day.

dermalogica's worked best for me when my acne was bad, non comedogenic hypoallergenic et all...light too worth looking into
