Hi, im in the hunt for a foundation, and i need help because this is my first time ever using foundation. i currently use only concealer (i use the hourglass air-vanish concealer). im torn between the Estee Lauder foundation, Giorgio Armani luminous silk and the pat mcgrath foundation. i have combination skin, dry cheeks and my T- zone gets oily though the day, specially my nose. any recommendations on which one is a better option and worth the money. 

thank you

Hi, @KelynRobles !  I have combo/oily skin.  I use the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation 2 and have not had any problems with it emphasizing oiliness.  I tried the Estee Lauder, but didn't care for the formula.  I have not tried the Pat McGrath.

A good primer can help keep your foundation looking nice.  I use Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Universal during the summer when my skin is more oily.  I use Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer Value Size - 2 oz/ 60 mL the rest of the year.

@KelynRobles Sephore Employee here.  Also have combo skin more on the dry side.  Out of the three I would recommend GA luminous silk.

I use a mattifying primer for my t zone and YSL blur primer everywhere else.
