Top 7 foundations for oily skin

If you are choosing a product for girls with oily skin, please note that such a foundation should not contain ingredients that clog pores, or cause additional shine and sebum production. These ingredients include petrolatum, mineral oil, lanolin and myristyl myristate.

But you should look for salicylic acid in foundations for oily skin, which will restore texture and even out skin tone. Another useful component is hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes the skin without making it oilier, which is an excellent solution in the summer.

So, on bottles of foundation, cosmetologists and makeup artists recommend looking for the words “mattifying,” “non-comedogenic,” and “oil-free.” Now let’s take a closer look at a few great options that you should take a closer look at.

Backstage Face & Body Foundation by Dior

The foundation from the Dior Face & Body Foundation line is great for oily and combination skin types, creating a second-skin effect. The medium coverage formula is waterproof and sweat-resistant so it won't budge even in high temperatures and humidity. To further reduce shine, apply setting powder.

Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup by Estée Lauder

The classic is a cult classic for a reason. The full-coverage matte formula of Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup maintains radiance and stays on all day. The product spreads over the skin like water, but when it dries it turns into a powder, so redness and shine disappear on the spot. And because the foundation is oil-free, it won't cause breakouts at the first sign of sweat, sun or humidity, promising an impressive 24 hours of wear.

Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation from L'Oréal Paris

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation instantly reduces shine. It's silky smooth and lasts 24 hours and is available in 28 shades. The product perfectly evens out skin tone and is an excellent base even in sweat, heat and humidity.

Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation by Maybelline New York

This foundation provides medium coverage and expertly conceals pores (without clogging them). Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation feels like a velvety blanket on the skin without settling into fine lines or highlighting breakouts. Available in 40 fragrance-free and oil-free shades.

Even Better Refresh Hydrating and Repairing Makeup by Clinique

With added salicylic acid to refine deep pores and even out skin texture, Clinique's Even Better Refresh moisturizer and revitalizer combines full coverage with skin-care benefits. The key player is hyaluronic acid, which makes dehydrated skin smooth (because, yes, oily skin can be dehydrated too) and minimizes the chance of foundation settling into fine lines.

Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation by MAC

The foundation's non-greasy, sweat-resistant formula lasts beautifully on skin for up to 36 hours until you're ready to remove it. It contains sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid found naturally in the skin) and antioxidant-rich caffeine to protect against free radicals.

Teint Idole Ultra Wear from Lancome

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear is another one of our favorites because it comes in 50 shades and provides full coverage (that can be easily blended or built on) that won't fade throughout the day or crease on oily skin. Foundation can even be used on sensitive and inflamed skin, as the product will help cover up blemishes as they heal. Plus, this oil-free formula also contains perlite and silica to absorb excess oil and mattify.
