foundation makeup for oily skin
What is the best foundation makeup for oily skin? Oily skin not only looks greasy, it has a higher tendency to break out in pimples or to get blackheads.
Honestly, if you have oily skin, I would advise you to forgo foundation makeup altogether and just dust on loose powder with a powder brush, which you wash with soap and water and let dry after use. Hygiene is all important as you do not want to introduce bacteria to your already oily face. Bacteria would happily breed in oil-filled pores (especially if they are clogged) to form pimples.
If you must use foundation makeup on oily skin, make sure the makeup
- Does not clog the pores
- Is oil-free
What happened was the first time she used the powder compact, the sponge was clean. Then she patted it onto her face. Still okay. Then she dipped it back into the compact to get more powder, introducing some bacteria to it. Finally she closed it and kept the sponge on the compact.
Later at noon, she sponge on the compact and pat it onto her face. The sponge picks up bacteria from her face. If she puts that back on the powder compact, bacteria from sponge gets into the compact and happily breeds there. The next time she uses it, she puts powder and more bacteria (that multiplied in there) onto her face. That on oily face is a recipe for acne.
I am not saying you should avoid powder compacts altogether. Just that if you use them, make sure you wash the sponge and dry it before putting it back on the compact. Have more sponges to alternate between them.

As for the best makeup foundation for oily skin?
An oil-free liquid foundation is a better bet as you squeeze or pour out how much you need while the rest of the foundation stays uncontaminated in the bottle or tube.
I would suggest you get Clinique Derma White Liquid Make Up with Spf15. It is oil-free which makes it ideal for oily skin. It also has a sunblock which any smart foundation should have. Sun exposure without protection is one of the surest ways to age your skin before its time.
