Top Drugstore foundations for Oily skin

Over the years I’ve been posting and sharing the foundations I use but never mention a few that go for oily skin, which I have.

Just a lil back story on my skin

I have Oily skin. What does it mean to have oily skin? it’s simple, anytime you apply anything to your face and your Tzone area (Forehead, nose, cheeks, cubic bow, and chin) Starts to sweat “produce excess oil” equals you have oily skin. 

This is my terminology if you need in-depth info on oily skin Google is your best friend. 

Healthline.com take on Oily skin is the result of the overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands. These glands are located under the skin’s surface. Sebum is an oily substance made of fats. Sebum isn’t all bad since it helps protect and moisturize your skin and keep your hair shiny and healthy. 

Having oily skin can be hard not knowing which product will oxidize and slide off your face. Once you find that one foundation that takes the home run for you will forever be your favorite.

I’ve listed down below

Best drugstore Oily free liquid foundations 

There are 3 main foundation texture: Matte, Dewy and Sheer Glow

I always go for a liquid matte foundation. I personally don’t think dewy foundations will last more than 3- 5 hours so, I never use them. As for sheer NO! I never use those foundations, I prefer using highlighters that are sheer or dewy that’s about it.

If you’re like any regular 9-5 worker you don’t wear foundation for more than 12 hours max – I for one don’t go over 12 hours because my skin will need to breathe by then and clogging my pores are a no-no!

All the foundations below give true matte finish ideal for oily to combination skin.

Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Liquid Foundation

As you all know I love Maybelline foundations it works entirely great with my skin. I’ve been using this for the past two years alongside the Maybelline Fit me Matte foundation for some reason I’m unable to find my right shade. So, I have to mix foundations to get the right color for me.

From personal experience, the Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation Makeup delivers 4-10 hours long wear for perfect coverage.
