Foundation Issues!

Starburst..x · 08-03-2011, 11:16 PM

Okay I have naturally oily skin which means I have to be careful when it comes to foundation as it can make me look nice and shiny!
I was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and can recommend any particular brands? I've started to have to look at the more expensive foundations to see if they give a better effect but it just seems that I cant really use anything like liquid foundation as by the end of the day its practically come off (not that my face is dripping with grease but it just gets shiny!)
Ive been looking at Benefit but its just ridiculously expensive if I wanted to buy a few items so if anyone can recommend anything it would be a mahooosive help (y)

use a matte foundation, a really good drugstore one is revlon colorstay. it's inexpensive and it's been called better than a lot of mac foundations

oh, and be sure to get the one for oily/combination skin. it might say on the bottle, but if it doesn't, it's the one with the cap that isn't clear.

or, put powder on top of it, and it will make you look less shiny and oily

i use the powder kind on top, it helps a ton! and lasts all day usually. also i have oily skin too, and it works for me.

Agree with the powder thing, also matte foundations. I used to use that maybelline matte stuff before it got extortionately expensive, but it definitely worked. Powder is a cheaper alternative basically!
