What is a good foundation for oily, acne prone skin?

I currently use Revlon Colorstay and dust some loose powder over it. However, my skin gets oily often throughout the day. I use oil blotting papers to get rid of the oil, and it helps for a while but the oil always come back. I%26#039;ve also tried freshening up on the powder, but it makes my face get cakey because I have to do it so often. I%26#039;d rather use a powder foundation that won%26#039;t clog my pores, but I have yet to find with with good coverage, which I desperately need.





Thanks :-)|||for acne and oily skin a good foundation is actually not to wear foundation at all.





I know what you are thinking, she%26#039;s nuts!


but no, foundation just clogs up your pores even more witch causes more acne, it is a terrible circle.





Go to a dermatologist to get a special acne cream, most of them you can wear under powder make up no problem.


get a loose powder for oily skin. during the day you can take the excessive oil off with a tissue (the greasy powder will come off simultaneously) and then just reapply some loose powder. It won%26#039;t look cakey at all. Just don%26#039;t put powder over powder over powder.





for the red spots on your face, get a light concealer and just cover the problem spots, blend it out a little and apply loose powder.|||It is kind of expensive but Bare Minerals is the best. It%26#039;s about $60 for the starter kit at Sephora and comes with 2 brushes, 2 colors, a bronzer, and mineral veil. The mineral veil will keep the oil at bay and I have acne prone oily skin and it doesn%26#039;t clog pores. I%26#039;ve been using it for 3 years now and I%26#039;m sold!





Oh and my mom uses it too and she has rosacea and you can%26#039;t even tell when she wears it.|||Get some samples of the following...you will love it and thank me later!


Oil control mineral powder


Hollywood mineral foundation


Mineral Veil


I use all 3 of the above everyday and my skin looks so good! It never looks cakey or feels chalkey either.


Just go to http://www.laminerals.com and order some samples in your shade. They are like $1 each and they ship them free.


Oh...after you apply it, make sure you press a damp wash cloth over your face. It helps set the makeup and makes it look so natural!


You%26#039;ll LOVE IT!!!|||if you try physicians formula powder you won%26#039;t be sorry. it says right on the container for %26quot;oily acne prone skin%26quot; [something along those lines]
