I have VERY oily skin. Is it a good idea for people with oily skin to ever use liquid foundation or powder foundation?
Here's a picture of me with just concealer after being in the sun for an hour. MY FACE IS SO SHINY!!

Powder foundation would be better.
Dust some setting powder underneath your foundation as well 😊

I have oily skin as well and I've found that powder foundation with a setting powder works best for me:) I also like Revlon Colorstay for combo/oily when I want more coverage with a liquid foundation. I think if you get a matte finish liquid it would be okay because it works for me but tbh powder is much better:)

I like bare minerals (look at sephora.com) it's $27.00.

Tarte airbrush powder foundation, or Bare minerals. I also love Tarte's smooth operator as a finishing powder because it makes my face much more matte and feels great! I think its only $24 and it lasts forever!!

You need a really good primer as well, you need one geared toward oily.

I knew I was right! I feel like liquid foundation with powder over the top has a nice look to it. Powder foundation will be clumpy after a few hours
