    Hi girls.. I need some help. Does anyone know of a good foundation for oily skin? i have been using Estee Lauder Double Matte Oil Control. Its working ok for me but I'm wondering if there might be something better I could try?

    Hello Samantha,
    You may want to look at my post on 5 o'clock shadow. I am not sure if you are trying for cover or just makeup in general and not worried about coverage. But Mac does make a product for the stage that will work with oily skin, you may still have to use blotting tissues though, with a touch up occasionally, take a look at this.... Mac Cosmetics http:// http://www.maccos[...].com/
    Just tell them it is for oily skin though. Prescriptive's used to make a product for this but they went out of business. These products mentioned here and below work well in conditions that can get quite warm, but then I do nt have oily skin so that maybe the difference. There used to have a three step process but that is to involved to go into here, plus with the products out now that is only a stand by.
    Hope this helps. I have a makeup consultant and I will ask her about this and get back to you.

    Hi Sam,

    This arrived in my E-mail this morning. Haven't tried it, but I've had good luck with other bareMinerals products...

    Best,

    Although I don't have oily skin, I can certainly recommend bareMinerals products, I use their foundation powder and it is very good. It might be worth looking into.
