Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin works pretty well for me with a light powder over, but for days where I need a matte look, Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Loose Powder works great. I have combination/oily skin that is very sensitive and prone to acne if I wear anything for more than 8 hours (including sunscreen and moisturizers)
Oily skin is a pain in the face. It's all well and good for you dry-skinned ladies to saunter about telling us that it's a blessing really because we'll age well. It doesn't feel like a blessing when our faces are creeping around throughout the day. Nobody wants to look in the mirror and wonder where all their foundation has gone (it's in your hair/has crept slowly throughout the day to the outer edges of your face where you never needed any coverage in the FIRST PLACE!)
So, presuming you've got your skincare and primer on track, one of these six foundations are for you. Keep in mind, though, these are for the true greasebags among us. If you've got any flakiness going on, these will very likely cling to it, so get your oily skincare on before you turn to any of these lovelies to solve your woes.
This foundation is a blessing for anyone who wants a little more coverage and a flawless finish. The consistency is quite runny but with the right brush you can achieve a perfect base with this. It only comes in twenty six shades, so you really can't go wrong. If you're super oily, you'll need to powder this, but if you do it shouldn't move.
A powder foundation is always a good option for truly oily skin. This one from Mac offers good coverage, and can be worn over your own foundation to keep it in place all day and add some coverage. Just be careful to choose the right shade - as a powder foundation absorbs oil throughout the day it can darken by up to two shades.
This is a wonderful option for combination to oily skin. It's best avoided by the oiliest skins though. If you prefer a slight glow to the skin, this foundation will provide it. The finish is satin rather than matte and the lasting power is great. I prefer this foundation to its duller sister product, Sheer Matte - this one is just prettier and more interesting. People with oily skin shouldn't feel limited to matte finishes - this is an alternative, provided you use an oil-free primer. Though it is marketed at dry skin, I genuinely think that it suits more combination skins much better - it sits terribly in dry patches.
This foundation from Clarins is a classic go-to product for oily skin. It provides as natural a finish as any matte foundation could give you, and has a lovely thick texture for buildable coverage. Read a more comprehensive review here. The downside with this is that it doesn't work well for pale skins.
This affordable foundation from the darling of pharmacy cosmetic brands, Rimmel, is easily the match of any of the high-end matte foundations on this list. Its mousse texture will sit in any dry patches, so make sure that your skin is in good condition prior to application . The porcelain shade caters to the paler among us; unfortunately, none of the six shades in the range are dark enough for deeper skin tones - Get on it, Rimmel! This is well worth a try if you can find a colour match.
Powder foundation is ideal for oily skin because the powder absorbs any excess oil, making it the better option for keeping oil at bay. It sets your makeup, keeps shininess away and gives the skin a matte finish that lasts.
One of the worst offenders for oily skin is the heat and humidity. You can leave the house with beautiful intact makeup, only to realise 5 minutes later that the heat has destroyed all of your hard work.
The foundation comes in 50 shades to suit most skin shades and tones, from the very lightest to the very darkest. If you usually have trouble finding the right shade for your skin, this foundation may just be the one for you!
Having oily skin can certainly be a challenge, however, with the correct products anything is manageable! I hope these 10 best powder foundations help you find your ideal foundation for your oily skin!
Dr Ross Perry, cosmetic doctor and managing director of Cosmedics Skin Clinics (opens in new tab), has words of caution when it comes to pairing oily and or acne-prone skin with make-up. He says that it's all in the prep. "Before thinking about make-up, review your skin regime. Getting the best cleanser and best moisturiser for oily skin is key, so experiment to see what suits your skin," he advises.
"Don't be tempted to ditch the moisturiser as your skin still needs hydration, but choose a formulation which suits oily skin," he continues. "Exfoliate regularly to remove excess sebum as well as dead skin cells." The best way to do this is with a chemical exfoliator or a physical gentle face scrub.
Then it's time to think about exactly what you want your foundation to achieve. Although a full coverage formula won't act as a replacement for a brilliant hyperpigmentation treatment, it will mask any residual marks from previous breakouts, while something designed to mattify will work to keep your skin shine-free all day.
Oilier skin types often get along well with powder-based foundations, like bareMinerals Original Foundation (opens in new tab), but if a powder finish isn't your preference there are many other brilliant formula options on offer. New-gen liquids will glide on seamlessly and can even strategically lock in oil.
