Oily Skin

Foundation for oily skin should look natural and strike a balance between a matte and dewy finish without looking oily. Oil-free formulas have a satin or soft matte finish and are ideal since they are long-lasting and buildable, allowing for additional coverage if you prefer it. Powder foundation for oily skin works well because it's lightweight and the powder keeps the skin matte throughout the day. Look for smudge and transfer-resistant water-based formulas with hydrating agents such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins and antioxidants; these keep the skin hydrated while regulating sebum production. Foundation for combination skin benefits from those same ingredients to help keep your T-zone free from the shine of excess oil.
