PLEASE HELP!FOUNDATION SUGGESTIONS

[jesstx89]

GOOD MORNING TO ALL, LATELY I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH SUCH AN OILY SKIN AND A FEW BREAKOUTS, PLEASE SUGGEST A GOOD FOUNDATION FOR MY TYPE OF SKIN THAT WILL LAST LONG WITH GOOD COVERGE? RIGHT NOW I AM USING TOO FACED(BORN THIS WAY) OR CLINIQUE ACNE SOLUTIONS. I DO USE NARS PRIMER BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP EITHER. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE. I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS

Estee Lauder Double Wear with the new Peter Thomas Roth primer for oily skin is fabulous!! I would apply it with a damp sponge because it can get cakey if your not careful. Good luck!!

Foundation I have had some breakouts since I lost my mother and started going through menopause I have been using clinique stay matte oilfree foundation and I really like the finish and is full coverage as well hope this helps

I have oily and acne prone skin, here's what works for me:

- Urban Decay Naked Foundation 

- Hour Glass Immaculate Foundation

- Wander Beauty Wanderlust Powder Foundation

- Makeup Forever HD Foundation

Hope this helps! I usually set my makeup with a powder foundation and finish it off with a setting spray for good measure.

I have used Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place for years. It is full coverage and good for oil control. I was a flight attendant and worked very long days and overnights, it has staying power. A little goes a long way, too.

thank you so much!!!

Hourglass foundation. Once you try it you won't go back ... PS I just use the foundation without primer for everyday use.

I definitely second @JaneanBT suggestion of the hourglass mineral veil primer. I use it and love it. I have combo, acne prone skin and this sits well on my oily areas as well as my dry ares without breaking me out. They do sell it in a smaller travel size ($26 CDN) that is a bit more affordable if you want to try it out first, or if you are close to a store maybe go in and get a sample to try before dropping the cash on it.

If you are looking for a bit of a more wallet friendly alternative,  you could try the travel size of the Cover FX Mattifying Primer with Anti-Acne treatment ($19 CDN) or a travel size of the Becca Evermatte Poreless Primer ($18 CDN). I have heard amazing things about these products!

As far as foundations, I hear amazing things about the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. It is very long lasting and has amazing coverage and is a cult favourite, especially among those with oily skin as it holds up through the day!

I hope you find some products that you love!

Hi @jesstx89,

I would use a mattifying primer like the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer.

A great foundation that helps control oil production is Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra 24 HR foundation. It is oil free and provides medium to buildable coverage. 

I also suggest Make Up Forever's Mat Velvet + Mattifying Foundation.  This is a shine controlling, oil-free, water-resistant, complete coverage liquid foundation.

I hope this helps! 

Best Wishes,

Janean

Sounds like skin is dehydrated, it's produces more oil to try and rebalance itself when stripped.

Which is fixed via skincare. What exact products are you using?
