What is the best foundation for oily skin?

Whenever I wear makeup, my face gets really oily and it looks horrible.

I use a liquid foundation, Mac, and a setting powder.

But within a few hours, its like cakey on my face.

I tried BareMinerals powder, but that still got really oily too.

    Okay! Sooo...lucky you I went to the makeup counter yesterday at the mall, and I was given some advice. DO NOT USE MAC FOUNDATION! It's all oil based and another thing I was told is that Mac is best used as stage makeup. I strongly recommend going to the makeup counter at the mall they are great at recommending what makeup might work best for you. However I highly suggest using Clinique acne solutions foundation! My skin has never looked better not 1 pimple and not to mention it doesn't look oily! I suggest applying it with a foundation brush and apply lightly! It makes me look natural and gorgeous! :) anyways clinque acne solutions is the way to go!

    I feel your pain, as I am mega-oily, too. I've tried everything from Wet & Wild to Dior.

    My longtime favorite is Revlon Colorstay. It has never let me down. Though it has competition now. Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation is outstanding. Applied with a kabuki brush, it leaves me flawless and oil-free for hours.

    Also, I have finally found a primer that works really well: Tarte Clean Slate Poreless 12-Hour Perfecting Primer. It is FABULOUS! Especially with the Amazonian Clay foundation.

    Neutrogena or powdered foundation.. The powder is better than a cream because it doesn't clog pores as much andremains on the surface. On the other hand, cream seeps into the skin and is more likely to cause wrinkles :)
