Great foundation should neither slip nor slide on your face. So, when it comes to finding the perfect formula for oily skin, it can feel like you’re grappling in the dark. The ideal foundation for oily and/or acne-prone skin should contain ingredients like silicone that smoothens the skin and leaves a matte effect. Another great tip is to look for keywords, like ‘non-comedogenic’, ‘oil-free’, ‘matte’, ‘velvet’, ‘shine-free’ and ‘lightweight’.
If your skin is prone to breaking out, look for acne-fighters like salicylic acid and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid in the formula. Also, make sure the base products of your choice don’t contain pore-clogging ingredients like mineral oil.

We have high praise for this foundation because not only does it come in a variety of shades but it is also very creamy and blends like a dream. Other than that, it controls any excess shine on your T-zone and makes the rest of your face look very lit-from-within glowy.
