Okay babes! Best foundation?!

Hi lovies! 

Being a sensitive acne-prone skin girl really limits my foundations to only oil-free foundations. I keep my skin at bay but if I use anything with oil I break out instantly! 
I’m in need of some good foundations that don’t break you out. I have oily skin for the most part, I’m only dry on my cheeks after using tretinoin. 
Gimmie whatcha got! 

Re: Okay babes! Best foundation?!

For my oily acne-prone skin, my faves are bareMinerals BarePRO™ 24 hour Longwear Liquid Foundation with Mineral SPF 20  Sable 21 and Smashbox Studio Skin 24 Hour Oil-Free Hydra Foundation 

Re: Okay babes! Best foundation?!

Careful with the "oil-free" claims. There are often (almost always) other ingredients that will clog pores. I can really only wear Cover FX and the Pat McGrath foundation without any issues.

@stepphitup Depending on what coverage you want, I'd check out Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Matte Foundation or tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation SPF 15 or L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte for fuller coverage. For lighter coverage, bareMinerals bareMinerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Medium or tarte BB Blur Tinted Moisturizer 

Re: Okay babes! Best foundation?!

I actually put the Lancôme in my cart last night, have you used it before?! I was watching reviews on it. It seems like a good everyday foundation! 

Thank you ☺️

Re: Okay babes! Best foundation?!

Yes, the Lancome is my usual daily full-coverage foundation, @stepphitup. It wears well for the full day without getting cakey for me.
