I have tried a million foundations - and they all make my face look shiny. I am trying to figure out which brand/type I should use for my upcoming engagement pictures.... Everything just seems to make my face look shiny and oily (when it actually isn't oily at all). Any suggestions or ideas would help. Thanks :)

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse is what I use in photo shoots. It's pretty much identical to Lancome's mousse foundation, they're both made by L'Oreal. It has good coverage and blends well and does give a matte finish.
What NOT to wear in photos is a foundation with sunscreen or any powder. Both will reflect light from the flash making you look pale and shiny.

Try Max Factor Pancake Water Activated Makeup. It gives you a matte finish and won't make your face look too shiny. You apply it with a damp sponge and after that dust some loose powder over your face. When you feel like your face is already getting a bit oily, blot it with oil control film first before you apply loose powder to remove the shine. If you don't blot your skin, the powder would just end up looking cakey. Hope this helps and goodluck! :-)

I have the same problem! I recently bought Almays's skin clearing powder foundation and it works like magic. I have oily skin and this absorbs the oil and makes your skin look luminous. I have tried so many foundations but I have finally found one that is perfect for me. If you go to Almay's website you can print off a $2 coupon to use on any face product. Good luck!

Use Netrogena Skin-Clearing foundation, even if you dont have problem skin, then buy Maybeline Pure Powder Finishing Powder adn apply it on after the foundation has dried. It look like you aren't wearing any at all!

I've had the same issues and finally found Arbonne's Intelligence Personalizer.
Absorb oil before moisturizing or applying makeup with a light dusting of Personalizer that helps balance oily redness and keeps your matte finish intact for hours.
It works great...I'm very happy with it!

ummm. well if you have oily skin, use american beauty.it helps hide the dark circles,and those big pimples,and mostly covers up,the "uneed" part of your skin,before you put american beauty foundation,put lotion,and let lotion,dry,this way,your skin wont get dry,and the foundation will last longer!
the other one,is neutorgena(spelling mistake(maybe)) now,once you apply the foundation,take those big bruushes,or those pads,used on powder.take them,and dap a tone of powder ,that matches your skin one,then glide it on your skin! it will make your makeup last,and not look so heavy!

Use a matte foundation and then apply a powder over top. You should have no shine. Good luck.

Use a Matte foundation. Go to one of the counters in a department store and ask to try diffrent foundations... Tell them you don't want it shine and they will tell you probably to use a Matte. Its a great way to try diffrent ones till u find one you love!!

attempt using this pink circle flat sponge. I have not any theory what the call is, yet you will discover it in the sweetness area. in addition they have them at greenback standard, for $a million. What you do is discover it to soak up the grease out of your face. that's going to bypass away your face, dry. the only element is, is that its so stable, that's going to take off your makeup. suited of desires!

mac face and body! its in a huge 120ml ( i think ) bottle its a sheer medium coverage and is great for photos! also you might want to try MAC blot powder to help with the oiliness over it or blotting sheets
and its ment to be water proof!
