Estée Lauder Double Wear is great for oily skin, it doesn't break down from the oils and is very long wearing (:

What's your price range? The Marc Jacobs Remarcable works well on oily skin. I haven't used the new Urban Decay foundation but I've heard a lot about it being good for oily skin.
In my super humble opinion, I think skin prep has a bigger effect on your makeup than your choice of product. I would use the Embryolisese Hydra Matte moisturizer, and I would even still exfoliate once a week.
Jacqueline correct me if I'm wrong! ❤️

It depends on how oily your skin is. I've heard people say they have oily skin but it's actually quite minimal.
I recall a few people here recommend some foundations for "oily" skin and I've tried them and can honestly say they're more for normal to SLIGHTLY oily skin and wouldn't hold up on someone who's actually quite oily.

With that being said if you're slightly oily and want a drugstore option, the Loreal true match (original) is good. I like the formula even though I do have to blot and such but it offers a decent amount of oil control compared to others I've tried marketed toward normal skin.
If you're more oily than the Loreal infallible is great.

Now, as far as higher ends I really like the MAC Studio Fix Powder, Studio Fix Fluid, Pro Longwear nourishing waterproof foundation as well as the CoverFX custom cover drops.

The studio fix powder and liquid work well for moderately oily skin but it can work well on those with normal to slightly dry skin.

The pro Longwear waterproof works well on those who are normal to oily as well, even if you're quite oily although the finish is more satin which can be a bit deceiving at times. It gives a slight glow which could be mistaken as shine if you're someone after a very very matte look. I noticed it made my skin dewy but in certain lighting it looked slightly oily but it didn't feel oily whatsoever.

The custom cover drops are very versatile. You can mess with the ratio of the drops and primer. I find the more drops to primer the better. The drops themselves are very very matte and really adhere to the skin so a small amount of primer would be preferable for oily skin.

Oil free formula based foundation can be considered as it builds from light to full coverage depending on your needs and preferences. These type of foundation are hydrating and contains SPF 25.
