The 10 Best Foundations for Oily Skin

Think of Surrat's foundation wand as the makeup equivalent of your favorite Instagram filter. This foundation has a semi-matte finish and leaves complexions with the slightest glow that won't look greasy on oily skin. 

No one likes a quitter, so when you're choosing a foundation that will keep you shine-free, opt for a formula that will stick around for the whole day. Along with keeping excess oil under control, MAKE UP FOR EVER's tube offers full coverage that isn't cakey or pills as the day goes on. 

Armani's newest foundation is the matte counterpart to its cult-favorite Luminous Silk Foundation. This formula glides on like velvet and will keep oil at bay without settling into any fine lines or wrinkles. 

Bareminerals took their original foundation formula and mattified it. While it may be a powder, the product goes on smooth like a cream and minimizes and clears pores. 

Although L'Oreal's tube helps you achieve a shine-free complexion, it won't leave your skin looking flat. Its demi-matte finish conceals imperfections and lasts for up to 24HRS, so those blotting papers in the bottom of your makeup bag are no longer necessary. 

The next time you find yourself in a heat wave or you're finally taking that SoulCycle class after work, this foundation is your best bet. Its formulated to keep skin from looking like an oil slick throughout heat, sweat, and humidty. 

This drugstore staple renders pores invisible and de-slicks shiny complexions. 

A cocktail of vitamins A and E, olive leaf, and papaya extracts leaves skin poreless while working to fight signs of aging. 

Get a foundation that does both: Clinique's liquid formula hides breakout-induced redness on oily, acne-prone skin while treating blemishes. 

This foundation is spiked with Amazonian Clay which sucks up excess oil and erases pores without drying out complexions. Even better: its coverage lasts up to 15 hours, so you can skip your previously scheduled lunchtime touchup.
