where the best foundation for oily skin but pale?

Answer 1

Loreal has a foundation called Pure zone and its made with water so it wont clog your pores, and its only like $8.99.

Answer 2

I'm pale with oily skin, but one foundation that I have found works GREAT is Lorac's Oil-Free Foundation. They actually have 3 pale colors that work on me, which is REALLY nice. You'll definitely notice a difference in shine on your face. WORD OF CAUTION: it is completely oil free, so DO not EVER put your fingers in it. I use a cotton swab to put it on my face, then apply it with my fingertips. I was bad about this the first time I bought the product, and would just put my fingers in the bottle, and the foundation eventually turned a darker color! Something you may want to consider getting with it is a high quality pressed powder (the cheaper ones tend to clog pores more, which intensifies your original problem -- I'm a Dior fan -- try the matte line). Also, get some "blotting sheets" so that when the shine inevitably reappears towards the end of the day, you can blot it off without ruining your makeup. For those, I don't think you need to go for the expensive! I use Clean and Clear, and almost never reapply powder during the day.

Ive just bought maxfactors age renew and i have oily skin.Its very good because it is quite a powdery foundation and stays on your skin better than some i have used, some just seem to slide around on your face.Its about £12 though but i think foundation is worth spending a bit more on.

Answer 4

I love Stila's tinted moisturizer. I hate a lot of coverage, but if you use the tinted moisturizer over top of a silicone primer, like Smashbox's photo finish primer with a bit of concealer (if you need it) on top, it looks flawless and natural. Especially if you top it off with a bit of powder to control shine. I love Benefit's Dandelion, which looks gorgeous on pale skin. Another good option is a mineral foundation, I think Philosophy's Supernatural is the best

Answer 5

Bobbi Brown oil free foundation is excellent. I have pale skin and i use the colour sand. If you ask someone at the counter they should be able to get you the right colour for your skin.

Answer 6

Mac has a great powder called Studiofix. It gives you a whole new skin. So does Estee LAuder's Double Wear.That is a liquid. Estee Lauder also has fantastic skin care for oily skin. These are both a little pricey, though. Something more reasonable is Clinique. Their skin care and makeup is not as great as Lauder and Mac, though.

Answer 7

Use an oil free foundation and oil free products at all times.I recently swapped from Bourgeious to Boots and I'm loving Boots 17 stuff.For cleansers simple is the best.Trust me I've tried them all.I'm vampire white and spent a good few years looking like a lollipop!

Answer 8

Have you considered using mineral foundation instead of those liquids. I have been using the mineral foundatin from Arbonne for about 6 months and I love it. I have very oily skin and using their system has changed my skin completely.

Let me know if you want more info.

Answer 9

Bare Minerals, it's free of preservatives, talc, oil, fragrance and other harmful chemicals. Somehow it's "not a powder," but it's made of nothing but the best minerals. I have been using it for months now and i have not broken out and i have very sensitive skin. Click the ink below for testimonials in there site. Rember it is pricey but it works, also explore around the site to find out more.

Answer 10

i use only MAC cosmetics and my skin is oily in the T zones. i also find it is extremely helpful to have washed my face with IVORY soap prior to the application of any makeup at all. and above all else, use top quality brushes!!!!!!!!!!
