Everyday Minerals is a mineral make up that has a great foundation! It is all natural so is won't make you break out and is reasonably priced. As far as I know it is available mainly through the net but some salons do offer it. You can send away for a free sample kit (you do have to pay shipping which comes to about $3.37) that includes three foundations, 1 blush, and your choice of concealer or finishing dust. I highly recommendthe concealer! It is all powder and very easy to use. The powder is awesome because it soaks up the oil. I live in East TX and it is so ridiculously humid here my glasses fog up when I get out of my car in the morning!!!! So, as you can imagine that makes my face one big oil slick and this make up really helps. Also if you don't like the first batch of colors you can send away for more until you find a match. PS, I am super prone to breakouts and this really helps me! PPS, the samples lasted forever! I ran out of concealer the fastest, in about a month but the rest lasted about 6 weeks.
This is the link to the free sample page!! http://www.everydayminerals.com/shop/prod_80.html

Mary Kay for oily skin is PERFECT, but use their oil control lotion first, under your make-up. If you sweat, dab at your face with a clean paper towel or tissue. IT IS GREAT and very reasonable.
Victoria Jackson is more beautiful, just as reasonalbe but order two base or foundation compacts if you get that, only by mail. Good price, incredible product, always use loose face powder to set your make up. Medium is for you in Victoria Jackson and with Mary Kay, you can have a consultant come over and try out samples.

In my opinion, I think that the best foundation for oily skin is by NARS and it is oil free foundation. I have oily skin and i have tried so many different brands and this one worked great for me. It stays matte all day long, and usually has no shine. It works even better with a loose translucent powder, like form Laura Mericer. It looks like your natural skin, and matchesskin tones perfectly.

I personally love Neutrogena. It is available everywhere, so if I run out when I'm on vacation, I don't have to worry about specialty stores or buying direct.
Neutrogena makes a line called Healthy Skin. It's oil free and has an SPF in it, so you aren't having to apply several products to your face.
They also have a line called Skin Clearing. It's also oil free, but has salicylic acid instead of the SPF. Great for acne and blemish problems.

You might also want to check out face papers. They come in small booklets that are small and easy to carry with you in a backpack or purse. One side absorbs dirt and oil while the other has a light powder to help control shine. They are fairly inexpensive, too. If you can't find them in your local drugstores, try Bath & Body Works, or on line.
I use Caswell-Massey Fair of Face Powder Papers.

Nuetrogena makes a great foundation for oily skin. Plus I use an anti-shine cream on my skin before applying foundation. Finish with a powder. Definitely buy the "shine control" blotter sheets. They work great. Whenever you see a shine, blot with the little blotter sheets and it soaks up the shine immediately. Victoria Secrets sell a nice blotter sheet but so does the local pharmacy stores who sell cosmetics.

Mary Kay has the best makeup and skin care products. People think it is expensive, but it really isn't. It works great too. You will definitely like the results. The stuff works wonders.

Mineral makeup !
Bare Essentuals (you can find their stores in malls) or Aromaleigh.com.
Mineral makeup is different from pressed powder and liquid makeup. It's light, lets your skin breathe and has an SPF inherently in it.
I have very oily Asian skin and I highly recommend mineral makeup!
