Moisturiser for oily skin

[KatamariDamacy]

I have the sort of skin that looks shiny all the time and products just slide off. Plus orrible open pores/sebaceous filaments/blackheads. Oh, and I'm really quite fair.

Mostly wear la Roche posay bb cream as I can stick it on in 2 seconds.

I'm hoping for a recommendation for a 'proper' foundation that'll suit my skin type. Can anyone give me any pointers? Thanks.

We are skin twins! I don't know what a sebaceous filament is, but I bet I have them.

I use Liz Earle Skin Repair moisturiser (for combination/oily skin) and Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. Then I apply Boots No7 translucent powered a few times a day, I use a small towelling puff rather than the velvety puff I comes with (as I grease-up those in days).

Can't help with a moisturiser as I'm still trying to find my holy grail but for foundation that doesn't slide off - Mac Pro Longwear.

It's amazing and that's coming from someone who used Doublewear which all the beauty bloggers rave about. It lasts all day, doesn't break up over more oily areas and can be applied sheer or built up for more coverage.

Definitely get a sample first after getting colour matched at a counter to see how it suits you though.

Yes, I have very oily skin too - if you buy the blue Simple moisturiser it's for oily skin and completely dries skin out, it's a miracle - I actually had to cut down on it eventually as my skin was getting dry for the first time in my life! Available at any supermarket and cheap too :)

That's the one :)

Aargh, that'll teach me to post first thing in the morning!

Moisturiser I have. I like la Roche posay effaclar mat.

It's foundation I need!

Oh... In that case Estee Lauder, Double Wear :)

I've been using Shiseido Synchro Skin foundation followed by their translucent pressed powder, it works much better than others I've tried, and I have the issues you describe with the added joy of very oily skin. I'm also very pale and their lightest shade is a very good colour match for me. I've recently tried YSL Ink Fusion (irritating applicator wand), Laura Mercier Silk Creme Oil Free Photo Edition (sat in lines, so I had a white stripey face) and Estee Lauder Doublewear Light (too dark, didn't control oil as well as the Shiseido one). I use La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo or Effaclar K (+), if my skin is feeling especially oily.
