5 best foundations for oily skin according to real reviews
1. L’ORÉAL PARIS INFALLIBLE PRO-MATTE FOUNDATION
Overall ratings: 4.6/5
Best Matte Foundation for oily skin
“I have very oily skin. I tried different kinds of mattifying foundations, and none have worked like this foundation. No matter how much powder I pact on my face while using other foundations, I’ll get a lot of grease in the mid of the day and I have to do touchups every now and then. But as for this foundation, I’ve only touched up once! 100% recommended.” -@Loleyysz
2. M·A·C COSMETICS STUDIO SCULPT SPF 15 FOUNDATION
Overall ratings: 5/5
PERFECT FOR OILY SKIN
“The foundation is non-greasy, non-comedogenic, light and does not block pores and perfect for oily acne prone skin..it provides full coverage and adds glow to the face. Pea-sized amount of foundation gives full coverage and absorbs easily in the skin and the end results are also perfect for the party glow look.” -@DAZZLINGAQSA
3. MAYBELLINE FIT ME® MATTE + PORELESS FOUNDATION
Overall ratings: 4.6/5
Perfect for oily skin
“First used this product when my best friend introduced it to me and loved it a lot. I have oily skin type but this foundation leaves my skin so smooth and dry which is something that I really look for in a foundation.” -@roroar09
4. KVD BEAUTY LOCK-IT FOUNDATION
Overall ratings: 5/5
Matte Finish, Natural Looking Effect. Easy to Work With!
“Its matte powder finish absorbed oil while allowing the skin to look natural. It dries down quickly so you need to be swift in applying. It was able to hold back shine throughout the rest of the workday and doesn’t creep into fine lines or float over my dry patches.”
-@WICKERMOSS
5. TARTE RAINFOREST OF THE SEA WATER FOUNDATION BROAD
SPECTRUM SPF 15
Overall ratings: 4.7/5
Matte foundation, best for oily skin
“Wonderful, I bought it when it first launched, as I work as a beauty advisor, I’m staying under hot beam lightings in the retail shop, this foundation DOES NOT MELT, I mean it, I’ve used other luxury brands and they do not last, but this, this last me the whole day, not cakey, doesn’t break me out, it’s good. So worth it.” -@XUEEBBY
