Foundations For Oily Skin!

Oily skin, a combination skin are one of the most problem skins to have. If we don't use a foundation that suits, too much oil or liquid in the formula will have our skin looking greasy and cakey. To get the job done we need a foundation designed especially to get the job done.

When it comes to foundations for oily skin, it's best to avoid crème based foundations or blushers. The oily residue contributes to greasy pores. Powder based ones allows oily skin to breathe. Finding a foundation which strikes the right balance of moisture to soothe skin while minimising oily residue.

I have found give of the best foundations for oily skin to give you a perfect looking base!

1. Bourjois Air Matt Foundation
Costs a very reasonable 9.99 pounds. This airy mattifying base has tiny silica beads. It knocks out shine and replaces it with a healthy based glow. My personal favourite.

2. Bare Minerals Blemish Ready
Is in a super cute package. Mineral makeup is the best choice for those with acne or blemishes. Owing to its ability to camouflage spots in the most gentle way. Bare Minerals has added a shot of Tea Tree Oil to its popular foundation powder to create Blemish Remedy. It's a multi tasker, creating a velvet base and covering blemishes while working on the skin.

3. Rimmel Match Perfect Foundation
Will cover reelness and blemishes without looking mask like. It lasts long and absorbs surface oil as well as blurring the appearance of pores for the best part of the day. It's SPF 20 and it's bargain price. This foundation is regularly used backstage at beauty shoots. Definitely worth every penny.

4. Boots No.7 Beautifully Matte Foundation
Is a very good buy. Your makeup bag won't be complete if you don't own this one. It's great value, promises 12 hours shine free, and the formula balances oil production to keep your skin in top condition. No.7 has a match made service to find your perfect shade. The clever scanner will find you the right foundation to offer an incredibly close match to your skin.

5. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation
Is perfect for your bag when you are away all day or on weekends. It comes with a sponge for precision application. The 10 shades are not too much choice, but all are very natural looking ones. This is great for touch-ups and on the go, and worth investing in. Great for oily skin.

Hope you find this selection useful. Have a great day and keep smiling!

Love & Peace.
