Thread: Good high coverage, matt, oil free foundation?

Can anyone recommend a good high coverage, oil free foundation?
I'm getting desperate because I never get the same foundation twice, as I haven't found a reliable one yet!

I have really oily skin and every foundation I use seems to slip of my skin

Advise appreciate,

Thanks!

Mac Studio Fix fluid is a great foundation, but I'd go to a mac counter and get them to find your shade.
Also, Laura Mercier Mineral foundation (powder) is great for oily skin, try online for it.

Ooooo thanks! Where can I find a MAC counter? Can't say i've ever seen MAC sold in a shop before!

If you have a Fraisers, thats one of the places I know sell it, only other place I have seen it is Selfridges(sp) but I'm sure if you visited the site they may be able to tell you where the nearset counter to you is.
I have also heard that mineral stuff is good, the Body Shop have some good items if I remember rightly.

another great product which really keeps your face matt is: Illamasque.

There make up is fantastic and geared for wearing on stage. Also Debenhams have 10% off at the mo.

Yes, Illamasqua is amazing also. Very sleek looking products and excellent quality.

Oooo I shall have to check it out! I can feel a shopping trip to the Trafford centre coming on! x
Thanks!

I'm a HUGE fan of Lily Lolo mineral products. Inexpensive but utterly brilliant plus you can get samples cheaply to try before you buy a big pot!

I have the oiliest skin ever and find it excellent.

Another great tip would be to purchase a finishing powder to sweep over the foundation. I swear by Mac Select Sheer/Loose powder. Applied over foundation it gives a gorgeous matte finish that stays put all day long and it feels beautifully silky!

im loving loreal true match and infalible foundation at the moment.

I bought infalible as it was the lightest shade boots did in foundation when I was too skint for bobby brown (im even too pale for mac nc15) and I loved it to much i deciced to stick with loreal instead (and am currnetly using true match as they didnt have the porcelain shade when I ran out )

I find either of them last as long and provide as much coverage as either the mac or the bobby brown and almost 1/3 of the price!!
