I need to know what types of foundations (cream, liquid, powder, stick or mixed) are best for sensitive oily skin? And also what brand do you recommend? I've taken a look at Neutrogena but I'm still not sure yet. I don't want to waste my money on something that's not going to work!

Maybe tinted moisturiser? I have never tried it myself - our skin types are exactly the same haha it's a nightmare! I think tinted moisturiser would be worth a go though! Especially if you could get a good brand :]

I have very sensitive, oily skin... I've never had a liquid foundation not break me out unfortunately. Have you tried a powder foundation? They always work the best for me! I don't want a lot of coverage so I use the CG Powder Foundation, but if you want a higher coverage I'd recommend Bare Minerals or the Tarte Amazonian Powder.

I have always liked Neutrogena foundations and I have oily skin. As for sensitive skin, I'm not sure.

Yah I also have oily skin and I have little acne. I use milk of magnesia and it really does help oil control. And don't use bb cream bc I find them oily. Unless you find one that oily and suits your skin. For my foundation I use tarte amazonian clay its all natural minerals and good for your skin just make sure you set it with a loose transparent powder.

I have the same skin type. I honestly don't like neutrogena products they always break me out. I personally love Loreal True Match foundation and Makeup Forever Mat Velvet + some other brands to look into are Marcelle and Almay which are also good for sensitive skin

I would not recommend using milk of magnesia on your face. it contains a ph balance of around 11 which is highly alkaline. your face requires a ph of around 4 or 5. a higher ph actually makes your skin prone to bacteria and infection. it can lead to eczema and dermatitis. I would recommend using a primer to create a barrier between your face and the makeup. I really like hourglass veil mineral primer
