8 Best Foundations That Will Help Keep Oily Skin Matte All Day

December 5, 2018

Blame it on the weather but it’s really common to have a shiny T-zone by mid-day – even if you don’t have oily skin. Keep your complexion looking matte and fresh with these foundations that help control sebum, but doesn’t dry it out or make it look cakey.

8 Best Foundations That Will Help Keep Oily Skin Matte All Day
#1 Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Compact Mat Alive, $94
image


Inspired by sportswear innovations, this foundation contains highly elastic stretch micro-beads, which adhere closely to skin surface and follows each and every movement. This means that makeup becomes less prone to caking as it remains seamless on skin through sweat, humidity and sebum. In addition, it also contains porous silica, which forms a long-lasting veil in a soft matte effect. Best part, unlike many matte foundations that might be thick and heavy, this has a texture so light that you almost don’t feel like you have anything on. It also comes with a double-sided sponge, which deposits makeup beautifully on one side and refines skin texture and removes excess product on the other for a flawless finish.

#2 Medicube Zero Capsule Cushion, $42
image


Remember the times when you’re having a bad bout of breakouts and you’re caught between piling on makeup to hide the blemishes and not wearing any makeup to give your skin a break? Well, you don’t have to worry about either with this cushion. Promising full coverage that can hide redness and reduce the appearance of imperfects, this cushion foundation is hypoallergenic and treats skin at the same time. Thanks to its blend of xylitol, panthenol and eggplant extract, it delivers hydration to skin, regulates sebum production and refines skin texture to gradually improve the look of skin. At the same time, it is also packed with powerful sun protection to save you precious time getting ready in the mornings.

#3 IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte SPF 40, $62
image

This hybrid makeup-skincare has been a cult favourite and this iteration formulated for oily skin types was only introduced this year. Formulated to resist shine and soak up excess sebum so skin stays matte for up to 12 hours, this full-coverage foundation is deceptively lightweight. Plus, it also has an SPF rating of 40, keeping your skin protected against sun damage. 

#4 Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation, $58
image

If you love mineral foundations, you will love the Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Airbrush Foundation. Containing Amazonian clay, this lightweight powder buffs on without settling into lines. 12-hour longwear and waterproof formula keeps skin looking matte and fresh, whether it’s rain or shine.

Hourglass Veil Fluid Makeup Oil Free, $99
image

If you have oily, acne-prone skin, it can be a challenge when looking for foundations that also cater to fighting signs of ageing. On one hand, your skin type calls for a matte, sebum-regulating formula and yet, it also requires some level of nourishment to plump fine lines and keep dehydrated skin supple. This is where Hourglass’ Veil Fluid Makeup comes into the picture. Perfect for those looking to address signs of ageing, it contains the proprietary Matrix Regeneration Complex to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while its long-wearing and oil-free formula helps ensure a fresh and well-balanced complexion that lasts all day.

Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Compact, $72
image

Transform blemished skin into a velvety smooth complexion. This water-resistant foundation contains next-generation mattifying powders that blurs imperfections, counters redness and masks enlarged pores for a soft-focus effect. Plus, it comes with a dual-sided sponge applicator which you can use to control the level of coverage you desire: one side gives full, flawless coverage while the other helps blend the foundation for a seamless effect

NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $70
image

With an oil-free formula, this tinted moisturiser offers sheer to medium coverage to even out your skin tone, and is perfect for everyday wear. Lightweight and non-greasy, it layers beautifully over your day moisturiser to reduce the appearance of blemishes, redness and pores while controlling sebum production for a shine-proof finish that lasts throughout the day. Plus, it even maintains skin’s moisture levels so your complexion looks fresh and plump.

Laura Mercier Silk Crème Oil Free Photo Edition Foundation, $80
image

Less is more when it comes to this pigment-packed formula. And just like its name suggests, this foundation doesn’t contain pore-clogging oil-based ingredients, feels silky smooth on the skin and gives you a close-up ready complexion. Start with just a dot of product on your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, as a little goes a long way. Watch as unevenness, light spots and dull skin tone get transformed into a unified mien that is radiant and velvety. Best part? It stays flawless for up to 12 hours at once so all you have to do is apply it in the morning and never think twice about it until you have to remove it at the end of the day.
