nope, but it can reduce the appearance of it. i would recommend using a moisturiser and then applying foundation this will help suck up excess oil and again reduce the appearance.

What exactly is makeup foundation?
Makeup foundation is a nice layer of color on your face. It lightly covers your face so that it hides any blemishes and makes your skin tone look even. It comes in either a liquid or powder. It also helps control oil if you have very oily skin.
Makeup for Rosacea?
While makeup cannot treat the symptoms and causes of rosacea, it can certainly improve the look and feel of a person's skin while also improving confidence levels and self-esteem. When applying makeup and other cosmetic products, it is best to choose products which contain all-natural ingredients, since this will reduce the likelihood of worsening the appearance of rosacea. Applying a primer that has a green tint will help to even out the skin and reduce the appearance of redness that commonly occurs with rosacea. Foundation and powder should be oil-free and should be a close match to the person's skin tone. An antibacterial foundation brush is best, since the oil and bacteria present on hands can worsen rosacea. Concealer can be applied to areas that are red, then foundation can be applied over so it blends easier for a flawless look.
What is a good foundation for oily acne-prone skin?
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
Why is oil free makeup better for the skin?
Oil gives you worse acne the more oil the more acne
What is oil free makeup?
Here we're talking foundation. There are three kinds--oil-based, oil-free and oil-control.Oil-based makeup contains some sort of fatty content--vegetable oil, lard, something like that. It's good for really dry skin and it's really thick so if you're trying to hide something like a port wine stain it's what you want. It doesn't dry, so you HAVE to powder it. This is used mostly as stage makeup--it's awful to wear all day.Oil-free makeup contains either a water base or a silicone base. Normally it's water--silicone-base is another kind of stage makeup. This is what most of the makeup in stores is.Oil-control makeup is sold mostly to teenagers. It's waterbase, but it has a lot of clay in it to absorb skin oils. You don't want this if you have naturally dry skin because it will really dry you out.
What is makeup made out of?
In history, the Greeks used white lead powder, chalk, and creams as foundation to lighten their skin tone. Today, depending on the type, makeup can be water-based, oil-based, alcohol-based, silicone-based or powder based. Loose powder foundation or mineral makeup is mainly comprised of earth-based ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Wearing makeup can affect everyone's skin the same. Men and women have different skin in a sense, but it can tend to cause oil problems, and pimples as well.

Has anyone tried the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation Makeup NC40 I'm looking for a new foundation, but have really sensitive skin, and I'm looking for some opinions about what the makeup feels like.?
I have a friend that uses the MAC foundation makeup and she totally loves it. Her skin sure looks great using it. She said it feels very light on. Depending how much coverage you are looking for...this is a full coverage foundation. I have sensitive skin as well and this works very well. It does have oil absorbing properties so it's best for oily skin. NC40 is going to be a shade (medium cool). It's best to apply this with their #190 brush (one of my faves!!!), especially for sensitive skin...it's less messy and more sanitary. Depending on what kind of sensitivity you have (acne, rosacea, psoriasis, etc)...it's nice to use different coverages. For instance, sometimes I just use a tinted moisturizer and bronzer. www.mandymckenna.net
Can a makeup remover be used as a cleanser?
Not really...makeup removers really aren't intended to remove oil from your skin. There are some makeup removers that ARE oil! A very good cleaning regimen is to use an eye makeup remover--Neutrogena's is really good--then follow that with a cleanser like Clean & Clear.
What reduces oily skin?
use gentle products that are oil free and mattifying moisturisers and foundation, and always powder your face well. if you use harsh products it will strip the skin, and your skin will produce even more oil to lubricate your skin, so don't treat it badly. use organic things and makeup. garnier pureA is good too, as it is good for spots and blackheads aswell. use blotting tissues/powders.
