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:)

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
