Hi Everyone! I have been trying so many new foundations lately- trying to find one that won't just slide off my face due to my oiliness. Any suggestions? Liquid vs. Powder? I've been using a mattifying primer and a pore minimizer (bc my pores are HUGE) and finishing off with urban decays de-slick spray. Also I need full coverage due to acne - current as well as scars. Thanks for the help!

I prefer liquid since I've never used powder. I feel like the more powder I put on I look more cakeym However Urban Decays Naked is realllyyy good for oily skin and if youre trying not to break the bank a good dupe is Revlons Nearly Naked and there's a powder to match and help set the foundation. I also know that Neutrogena's Acne fighting foundation or whatever its called is pretty full coverage and holds up well. :)

I usually like something more subtle for an everyday look rather than a thick foundation.
I use the garnier BB Creme for combination/oily skin and it's GREAT!
It's got fantastic coverage for a bb creme and is super light weight!
I wear that and a powder to set it and I'm good all day!
I would recommend it if you are looking for something that's not too pricey.

I second Hallie.^^^ Its what I reach for when I want something quick plus the coverage is great for a drugstore bb cream.
