Are you looking for high end or drugstore? I personally am not fond of high end liquid foundations, they all seem to irritate me, are too greasy and of course, wayyy over priced.
I like Revlon ColorStay, it lasts, if you don't need a lot of coverage, a light layer is all you need. I still get oily but the foundation doesn't fade, it looks nice and glowy, not matte and stark. I blot and I still have foundation on, no need to touch it up.
There are also powder foundations, talc and non-talc. They are good for oily skin as they have less fillers and other products, even the pressed ones. Some however contain ingredients, like bismuth, that many find can irritate (itchiness and rashes) but a lot of people have no problems, they are worth checking out. |

| I wear MAC select tint spf 15. I find it to be very light. I live in FL where it is almost always hot and humid and I really did not want heavy coverage. |

MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation
I too have oily skin and prefer powders over liquids, I find they do not start to slip off my face as the day wears on.
I also like Physicians Formula Mineral Powder but MAC Studio Fix is my HG!! |

| I have combo skin with an oily t-zone. MAC Moistureblend gives me a nice dewy finish without being too shiny. MAC Studio Tech gives me a smooth matte finish. Neither cause breakouts or clog my pores, and both have great staying power. |

I used to have super oily skin in my teens and I swore by Estee Lauder Double Matte and T.Leclerc oil-free liquid foundation. I needed a lot of coverage and both of them gave me great coverage and were the best in keeping the oilies at bay. Bobbi Brown's oil-free was also really good and I used up several bottles then, but it's not so good now for coverage nor keeping oil under control after they changed formulation.
My favourite drugstore one at that time was Marcelle's oil-free mattifying foundation. I had also tried Revlon Colorstay and MAC studio fix powder foundation, but they didn't work for me personally ... my skin used to be so oily that studio fix would cake, grease up, and change colour. The regular colorstay was too heavy and mask-like, the old Revlon colorstay light version was good ... but that have reformulated it now.
Another good drugstore one that came out recently that works good for oily skin and provides lighter coverage is Maybelline Pure. And Rimmel Amazing Lasting is also quite good for drugstore.
I tried so many others during my time (Prescriptives Virtual Skin, Laura Mercier Oil-free, Lancome Teint Idole, Chanel double perfection fluide, the list goes on and on) and most of them either didn't provide enough coverage or it wore off too fast. |

| I have a very oily t-zone and I would not recommend MAC Moistureblend!! It is for people with dry skin. It looks nice for five minutes and then it slides of your nose, it felt like an oil slick plus it gave me awful blackheads and I brokeout horribly...MAC has some very good foundations but if you choose MAC I would recommend telling the sales assistant exactly what you want from the foundation...that is, long wearing, non-acnegenic, possibly oil-free etc...and that you have OILY skin! Then they should point you in the right direction! You can also explain your situation and ask for a sample to try. |

i using MMU. It has saved me from the slippery mess that was my face when i used to use various liquid foundations (very oily T-zone).
I' still get oily but for some reason, the MMU just makes me look 'glowy' and not 'oil spill'...
maybe you could consider trying a few brand samples...just do a search on mineral makeup on these boards. |

| I second MMU. My Youngblood lasts all day without slipping off in the midday sun. Doesn't clog pores, which is a bonus, and has SPF. Good luck! |
