It must meet these conditions
1) must be found at a local drugstore - so not wicked pricey
2) must tame oil for at least 4 hours
3) must hid blemishes
any ideas?? thanks

4) preferably a liquid foundation

Neutrogena SkinClearing oil free works great!! It has salicylic acid and it's a blemish treatment, and it controls the oil. And it's a liquid. I love it. And buy some Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets. I SWEAR by these, and if you just blot, it won't remove make up. I could not live without these. If I ever forget mine at home, I have to go buy more because I'm addicted.

I used every single make-up foundation available at the drugstore, and the best one if you're looking specifically for only those 4 things would have to be the Revlon foundations! Almay has awesome light foundations that I love because it covers (but not as good as Revlon covering) and looks natural. Although it rubs off quite easily and also doesn't keep the oil away unless you apply a soft powder over. In any case, I would suggest you apply a soft powder over the foundation LIGHTLY. It's a must for oily skin!

Trust me and try the new powder foundations. Not the compact kind. The kind that is like a rip off of bare minerals. I have the exact same problem and my sister got me to try hers about a month ago and I couldn't live without it now. It stays soft and set all day. I have had a lot of compliments on it without even telling anyone I switched. I use L'oreal Bare Naturale (about $9 but worth every penny). It comes with the brush to apply it and you just use a little more on problem areas. You can get it at any drug store or Walmart, etc. There is also some by Almay.

well i know that you prefer liquid foundation and i did for a long time until i used this stuff called Bare Naturale by L'oreal! it is the best stuff ever!! it looks like a loose powder but it goes on like a foudation and it isn't has harmful or messy as liquid foundation. this stuff covers all blemishes and uneven skin tone at only 11 bucks and sometimes cheaper depending on where it is purchased. you need to try this stuff cause believe me you will never want to go back to liquid foundation ever again!! and no matter how old you are this stuff works for everyone! i swear by this stuff
you have to try it

Dont wear liquid foundation if you have oily skin.
Cover up you're blemishes with a concealer/chap stick, and then use powder all over.
Powder will help keep oil under control, and wont cause excess oil.
All these products that advertise for oily skin dont work. Trust me, I've tried them all.

maybelline's pure make up. its a liquid foundation that is 50% waterbased. it has good coverage and it takes care of your skin at the same time. it includes aloe, vitE, and chamomile to soothe skin. i absolutely love this product! they also sell this at drugstores also. its absolutely oilfree and it will last a long time. i love it!
i have oily skin and using this helps a lot! i love it to the max!
also, keep a pack of oil absorbant films. i use the one from clean and clear. it doesnt smear makeup.

Dream Matte Mousse, by Maybelline, definitely. I have oily skin and it stays on. It's almost *too* drying to use every day, so I alternate it with Maybelline Age Rewind, which stays on without either sliding off or caking in fine lines.
Both good products, both inexpensive and both give reliably consistent results.

I suggest a mineral make-up, but you won't find one at a drug store. You'll just be frustrated if you use"drug store " brands and will probably in the long run spend more money trying different brands than if you bought a good powder mineral make up. They don't react with your skin and last all day...no allergies and no clogged pores so you'll stop getting blemishes. Think it over before you hit the drug store.
