Good foundation for oily skin?

4 replies

I use bourjois healthy mix and love the finish.

However, I have an oily nose, whereas the rest of my face is normal-dry! I need to use a foundation for my nose area that is matte and shine-free. Any ideas?

I would rec Revlon Colourstay for Oily/combo skin. I have combo skin and it does a good job of keeping the oilies at bay. I cannot use powder on my nose as my eyes weep and it goes onto my nose sides and usually buggers up any foundation I put there. Either washing it off completely, or, making it dry in 'crusty' patches. I do not get that with this foundation. I someties use the dry skin version if my skin demands it but normally it is the combo one i reach for.

Hope that helps! The colour range is not too bad either. I use a buff one but also got an ivory one. Seems to cover up any red blotches I have.

I really like Diorskin Nude and Clarins Everlasting foundation. You should be able to get samples of both.

You might find that a mattifying primer might help - then you might not need to use two different foundations.

I also use Revlon Colourstay on my T zone.

I use a mattifying primer on my nose and T zone and then BB cream for oily/combo skin.
