I'm looking for a good drug store foundation for oily skin. I know everyone has different experiences but it would definitely give me an idea of what to try out if any of you gave me descriptions on what certain foundations are like!

The loreal infalible pro matte is a great option, it stays all day on and keeps me matte, I also like the revlon color stay for oily skin it works great too.

When I had oily skin (I've moved since) I loved the Revlon colorstay and the covergirl 3 in 1. both were medium-full coverage. I liked the Revlon better because the covergirl shades all seemed to run pink. I never had any real issues with the colorstay foundation (once I learned to apply it, I always wanted to use too much at first) until my skin changed.

Maybelline matte and poreless is my fav atm from the drugstore.

My personal faves are the L'orèal Pro Matte and the Maybelline fit me matte + Poreless but I've also tried the reckons colorstay although I wasn't fond of that one.

Revlon Colorstay- lightweight, medium coverage, good amount of shades.

What I didn't like; I didn't find a good match. The shades are too beige or too pink so if you've got that type of undertone you should be good.
Another thing is, I felt it didn't control my oil whatsoever. I didn't notice fading but my skin looked quite oily within an hour. So, technically the color stayed on but it didn't really do anything oil-controlling wise. It also creased quite a bit on me.

Maybelline Fit Me matte+ Poreless.
I like this formula, it was lightweight on me too. A light/medium buildable coverage.
I like the shades.
The price is good. Although, I didn't feel it did anything as far as making me pores looking smaller. My skin did stay more matte compared to the revlon one but it's not... Quite as matte in general, it's more of a semi-matte type of foundation.

L'orèal infallible pro matte: I like the packaging, the shades are pretty good(although they don't really have any neutral or pink undertone shades aside from the first 2-3 shades)
Has a good medium-buildable coverage.
More than the other two.
It dried down more matte and kept my face quite a bit matte more longer.
The only other downside is that if you have slight dryness then it will emphasize that and it doesn't feel quite as lightweight compared to the others.
