Those with combination skin - which foundation do you rate?

Those of you with combination skin - what foundation works? I'm finding nothing works for me & no idea what to try next!

Oily t-zone, dry forehead & temples, fine lines round the eyes, first signs of ageing. Arghh!

For me Mac works the best and sets really well. You also get different types of coverage as well. Use a little primer before foundation, it helps with the oiliness too.

Mac studio fix, Lancome Teint Idole Ultra

The Mac Studio Fix and Lancome don't sit on and highlight dehydrated areas around the forehead/temples? I've avoided both those in the past as I thought they wouldn't work on dryer areas.

I use double wear BUT I mix it with a primer for the oily areas and if I am massively dry on my dry areas a little strobe cream.

However can I just say that what has worked is actually tackling my combination skin with a good (shock horror) night cream I've not used the strobe cream since with the exception of nights out for that dewy look

What night cream are you using? I am looking into my overall routine. Just started with Alpha Liquid Gold and their balancing cleanser, plus a product from Paula's Choice. I do need a new night cream so please share!

I use Mac Pro longwear, with a primer underneath
I went on a night out recently, lots of photos, I couldn't believe how lovely and even my skin looked in all the photos (compared to the shine flashback I usually get)

Revlon Colourstay for COmbi -normal/oily skin.
