What's the best powder foundation for oily skin?

I have oily skin and i've been trying to find the right powder foundation for me because liquids are just way too cakey. i've tried a lot of different ones and none of them seem to work very well. i even tried bare minerals (paid $63 for it thinking it would work) but after just a little while it made my skin look oily. what should i use?What's the best powder foundation for oily skin?

For years I never wore any foundation or power, as I have gotten older I have only ever found one that looks natural as if I am wearing nothing,





Sheer Cover





Although I am told Nude by Nature is pretty good also.





The trick is to only apply lightly, any product will look cakey if you apply to much,





Sheer Cover works with the oil in your skin and actually looks better as the day go's on.





Although you may think your skin is oily it may not be it could be the Bare Minerals powder creating a shine on your skin that makes it look oily, Bare Minerals and sheer cover contain an ingredient I can't remember what it is it starts with a ';T'; anyway this ingredient gives a shiny appearance to the face the difference is that sheer cover provides a finishing powder to help correct this.





Nude by nature does not contain this ingredient and does not give the shiny appearance, I will be trying it once my sheercover runs out.
Try the following:





CLINIQUE STAY-MATTE SHEER PRESSED POWDER- It's their best-selling powder. I have shiny skin too and this seems to work well. It's a moderate coverage powder--which helps avoid the cakey look. If you're really, really oily and looking for deeper coverage, try their clarifying powder makeup.


Buy at: any department store or Sephora.





LAURA MERCIER MINERAL PRESSED POWDER SPF 15- I love Laura Foundations. I think a lot of makeup artists would agree that this is a great line. This powder feels great and looks great, but the price is a bit higher than Clinique. It has good coverage and stays on oily skin very well.


Buy at: Sephora, Nordstrom, Blue Mercury, or Neiman Marcus





MAC BLOT POWDER- I'm not crazy about MAC foundations, but this one seems to work for most people with oily skin who buy it. If you're already partial to MAC, try it.


Buy at: Macy's, MAC Stores, Nordstom





I recommend using a brush, not a sponge to apply powder in general, but even more so when you have oily skin.


Just out of curiosity, have you tried using a mattifier or primer? It would sop up that oil nicely. Try one like Origins Zero Oil, Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel, or Laura Mercier Foundation Primer-Oil Free.
First of all you have to keep in mind you need to use the right foundation or powder texture for your skin type. They have to be oil free.


Second-not all that's expansive works for your skin needs. We are all different. You have to custom fit the textures to your personal skin needs.


For ex : Almost makeup SPF15 oil free foundation from Clinique - very lightweight, very soft finish. Doesn't give you too much coverage. It's 25 CAD.


For more coverage with very soft finish I recommend Superbalanced oil free from Clinique(25 CAD) or Double wear from Estee Lauder (33CAD). They are both liquids, very good coverage with a very soft finish. I am very oily skin and I have freckles. So I need lots of coverage. I personally use Superbalanced from Clinique. I am very happy with it and it stays very well on till the end of the day.


My favorite powder foundation is Almost makeup powder spf15 from Clinique (30CAD). It doesn't give you as much coverage as the liquids that I mentioned though.
Something that's oil and moisturiser free. Trying putting on Aloe Vera gel after you've washed and before you apply makeup. It's natural and oil free.





You could also buy over the counter herbal tablets that apparently reduce skin oils.





There's a powder foundation that's not actually to bad. It's by Avon and unfortunately i've forgotten what it's called. Sorry.





But I hope I helped even the slighest bit.
No powder and no foundation...oily skin tends to be prone to break outs and powders or other face foundations make up will make it worse. I suggest using those oil obsorbing papers that you can buy at spa stores or beauty stores or online. They are pieces of paper specifically designed to wipe up unwanted face grease without clogging pours because there are no ingredents to clog with....Or take a vacation to a really dry climate like Colroado or NM and hang out for a week then your skin will clear up in no time and you can go home foundation and pour clogging free
BeautiControl mineral makeup powder would be great. it is for people with oily skin and only costs like $25. It is comprable to Clinique and Lancome but waaayyyy cheaper.





you can get it at www.beautipage.com/tmeans
Try Clinique Superfit makeup. It's got great reviews and is hypoallergenic. Go to a department store, and they will probably have it. They will determine which level is the best for your skin type. Or you could do trial and error online. :)
any mineral powder, and you dont have to buy an expensive one either. also..try a tinted moisturiser. i find thats good for my oily skin and its not as heavy as a foundation.
I have extremly oily skin and i have found that Bare Minerals works best for me. Around lunch i use oil asorbing pads and reapply.
Bare Minerals.
