I have an oily skin problem, and let me tell you: it is super hard for me to find good ass foundations that can help control my sebum production. It is always a double job for me – as you know, when you’re dealing with oily skin, you’ll need to think about the breakout parts as well. Use the wrong product? Breakout. Try to layer it up with makeup? More breakouts. I realize that makeup can actually play a huge part in making my skin worse. When you’re covering things up and slathering on different foundations and concealers, it can aggravate the skin even further.

So, how does makeup with oil-free ingredients benefits those battling problem skin? Oil-free formulations are generally more lightweight formulations, so will avoid congested pores and subsequent breakouts. In addition to feeling lighter on the skin, they can reduce shine and provide a more natural finish. In short, it’s still possible to create a radiant look without laying it on heavy. I have spent years trying and testing different foundations that are suitable for my skin. Below are the 7 best high-end foundations I have ever tried:
