I was looking at Clinique's Clarifying Makeup Clear Skin Formula and Estée Lauder Fresh Air Makeup Base. Is there one out there that is great on skin that is sensitive and has oil control and good coverage? What do you ladies wear also?

I agree with luvlygirl. Bare Minerals not only work for a wide range of skin types and skintones, the products are absolutely amazing. And because their foundations come in several colors, I'm sure you will find the one that will work for your skin tone.
I no longer have oily skin...I'm older now, so my skin is closer to normal than it's ever been, but is still super sensitive; Bare Minerals make my skin look fabulous and I've had no reactions to it. I even know some teens who had oily skin & breakouts & have tried Bare Minerals and loved it.
Because it's a light & airy powder, you don't need to apply much to get great coverage, and because it's made of real minerals it doesn't cause breakouts or irritation to sensitive skin. I have been using Bare Escentuals (that's the company that makes Bare Minerals) products for almost 3 years, with no complaints.
You can find it at QVC or get a start up set by looking for the Bare Minerals infomercial. You can even arrange for QVC to email reminders to you when a Bare Escentuals program will air.
Also if you are near a store you can go in & they will help you choose the shade best for you. They will also give you a little makeover so you can see how it looks on you. QVC demonstrates the products on several models with varying skin tones from very fair to deeper tones, so you might be able to select the shade that works for you without leaving your home. And they show viewers how to apply it....something I failed to mention in another anwer I gave.
The prices are very reasonable, because the products last for quite a while. You can often catch specials on QVC or find a kit that includes a selection of shadows & (sometimes) blush and/or the foundation of your choice cheaper than if you purchased them individually. Hope this helps!

ok using oil blotter sheets actually makes your skin more oily. i learned that from a salon. The sheets strip your skin from its natural oils so now our skin needs to produce more hence getting more oily. I have oily skin too. and the BEST TYPE of foundation for oily skin is a powder foundation because powder absorbs the oil and takes away the shine in the face. I like Maybelline Mineral Power Transulcent Veil because it works for all skin tones, can be used like a foundation and then i just *** some blush and bronzer. With oily skin you have to touch up once or twice during the day but i highly recommend maybelline mineral power powder because i hated searching for foundations too!! but i like this one.

Try Almay it is made for people with sensitive skin. They have 3 kinds of foundations 1-2-3. 1 is for people who use ivory , 2 is for the medium tones like biege and 3 is for dark skin.The foundatioons blend in to your skin tone. You can have foundations on with out the chin lines. I love their products.

I say go with Bare Minerals! I luv my Bare Minerals, it covers the best and looks most natural. I am very fair and have lots of pink in my skin, when I wear my BE, I feel as if I look flawless...as stupid as it sounds! If you have oily skin, try getting their Mineral Veil...it has cornstarch in it and that zaps up grease. Good luck!

I use mineral make up (everyday minerals). You should try powder because liquid make up is going to irritate your skin. MAC has a really good powder that offers great coverage, and being a powder it absorbs oil and what not, its called Studio Fix.

Try "Pure Makeup" from Maybelline, they replace over half of the oil with water!
