The Best Foundations for Oily Skin, Tested and Reviewed
Dec 5, 2024
The dewy-looking makeup trend is one of the best things ever to happen to people with oily skin. Thanks to brands like Glossier and Milk, it’s not just acceptable but downright fashionable to have a face that’s not exactly dry.
However, there’s a difference between prepackaged oily-looking products you can buy at Sephora and oil that naturally seeps out of your pores. I have oily skin, so my work-around for getting “that wet look” is applying a matte foundation, topping it with a light dusting of pressed powder, and adding a highlighter on top of that. Yes, it takes three steps, but such is life.
To find out which brands make the absolute best foundation for oily skin, we tested out a ton of them, analyzing them for breadth of shade, durability, and ability to stay matte — even under masks. Here are the best ones from drugstore to luxury.
So, you are looking for the best foundations for oily skin?
Our Top Picks:
The CC cream with really good coverage
Size: 1.08 oz | Shades: 12 | Coverage: Full | Finish: Matte
If you’d rather opt for a CC cream but still want the perks of an actual foundation, this IT Cosmetics formula is your answer. It lasts just about all day and the matte version does a much better job at combating shine than its original formulation. It’s oil-free and infused with skin-care ingredients like collagen, peptides, and charcoal, plus I’m always a fan of foundations with built-in SPF. The downfall? It only comes in 12 shades.
