Avoid foundation with perfume, and foundations with oil. Honestly I swear by my Jane Iredale Amazing Base mineral foundation (it is like zit fighting makeup, and flawless coverage), another good one is josie maran argan oil serum foundation, it moisturizes the skin, keeping the oil and sebum levels normal and preventing dry skin which clogs pores and creates zits. Also try Cerave facial cleanser its awesome and affordable

Can people with oily skin use creamy foundation?

Its not recommended because the foundation will mix with the oil in your skin to block your pores and cause more spots. Powder foundations are good to use if you have oily skin, these leave it dry. Your skin can get very dry and start to peel with powder foundations, if you use them every day. Its best to leave your skin to breathe for 1 day a week and use a moisturiser when your not wearing the powder foundation.


Is liquid foundation good for oily skin?

Treat your skin gently. Scrubbing too much will cause your sensitive skin to flake and look even worse. My favorite oily skin creme is Body Shop brand tea tree oil mattifying gel moisturizer. It give your skin moisture (yes even oily skin needs moisture) and sucks up the oil. Unlike regular creams, it dries and leaves your skin smooth and not shiny. Then put foundation over it if you want to wear foundation. I highly recommend mineral powder foundation over creme. Use a creme concealer to dab over the dark circles or pimple spots, not all over. The mineral foundation will absorb into your skin and give you a natural glow that creme foundation does not. Oh, I forgot..drink TONS of water. It's hard I know. And yes, you will pee a lot. When I remember to do so, my face clears up always. I suffer from wonderful adult acne so believe me I know.


Which powder is good for oily skin?

Any powder really as long as it isn't too orangey and makes it obvious on your face, maybe a slightly paler tone to your real skin colour just to be on the safe side!

What foundation should you use?

Oh, there are many factor to what foundation you should pick. First of all is your skintype. If you have oily skin you should probably pick a powder foundation or a liquid foundation with almost a powdery finish. If you have dry skin you should pick a creamy foundation that hydrates the skin. There is also how much coverage you want, what price range etc.

What foundation is best when you have acne?

When you have acne you need a foundation with heavy coverage that will stay on oily skin and will not cause more acne. A liquid foundation will provide high coverage. If you want more coverage than that, set your liquid foundation in place with a layer of a powder foundation. Powder foundation alone will not provide enough coverage, and foundations that provide higher coverage are known to clog pores. Look for products designed for oily skin. Other products tend to crease or slide on oily skin, but these will be designed to stay put on your skin. There are foundations that include acne-fighting ingredients, these can be helpful, but if you have sensitive skin you probably want as few active ingredients as possible in the make-up. Make sure the make-up says non-comedogenic. This means that it will not clog your pores and create new acne.


I have SUPER oily skin is MAC pro longwear good for super oily skin?

I wouldn't say so, I have that to and have oily skin around my cheeks and forehead but my chin is quite dry, but when I have used it before i have always thought I could find a better one to take away the shine. I advise you dont use MAC studio scuplt also if you have oily skin, because it's a thick heavy gel and isn't shine proof. I find the mineral one's from no7 are quite good at controlling oily skin and overall mineral foundations:) good luck!xo
