I have very oily skin! What is the best foundation I can use that would stay on my face all day? Thanks!

Mineral makeup works really well for my super oily skin! But even better, is Dinair Airbrush Foundation! It's my favorite!

Both Makeup Forever's Mat Velvet & Lancome's Teint Idole are full-coverage, matte-finish foundations, though both foundations tend to be hard to match to peoples' skin for some reason. They're either too pink, too light or too dark. But both are great, along with Makeup Forever's HD setting powder. =]

I have 2 fav foundations that are oil friendly. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation and Lise Watier's Teint Lift SPF 20 foundation. The only con with the Maybelline is it tends to run a little dark ( I have super pale skin) and I use the lightest shade there is. But it lasts all day and it won't clog your pores with more oil. And the Lise Watier, I have to say, is perfect! I use the lightest shade and it blends so well into the skin and lasts all day. It's also moisturizing so it won't dry the skin, and it's anti-wrinkle so even if you don't have any yet, you can still prevent them from happening. The con with that though is it's on the pricey side; $38 CAD

But I flip flop from these depending if it's day or night I'm using them for and I set it with Cover FX translucent setting powder. Cover FX is a company created by dermatoligists and their makeup is mostly face products and not harmful to the skin. They're a little expensive too, but totally worth it. Hope this helped! xoxo

Thanks so much for the advice, guys! Will check all those out! Check out my video, too, guys, if you like threading or wanna learn it. Have a great day!

I have really oily skin and has recently found the perfect foundation routine for my skin. My skin is also acne prone, so I like to use makeup that is kind to my skin, as well as give me the coverage that I like. So I use the OCC tint like a base for my bare minerals matte foundation and concealer. My experience is that it lasts all day, and keep me from getting oily, even when I'm at work! And there I stand over a hotplate all day making burgers, so my makeup is likely to melt off, but it don't! :)

wow, Ida, that sounds great! i can't wait to try out everyone's recommendations!

Even though it's expensive, I love my NARS Sheer matte.. I've never had makeup last through a night of partying until I tried this. Get a sample from Sephora or your NARS counter. You'll love it.

Bobbi Brown skin foundation it is a water base foundation and is very light : )

Thanks, Abigail and Theresa! I've heard those are great products! Glad they're good for oily skin too!

I have oily skin, but in the winter I use MUFE Face and Body because it's more sheen, and sheer with buildable coverage, where in the summer I would probably recommend MUFE Mat Velvet. It all depends on what kind of finish your going for : )

I have oily skin too and I use mary kay medium coverage or mac studio fix and they stay all day long for me. If you set your liquid foundation with a powder one it helps a lot too
