Foundations For Oily Skin: Estee Lauder, Catrice, Maybelline, L'Oreal and more

⏪Reviews and swatches of my current foundations⏩

No.7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum Foundation

The shade 'Calico' is not lightest. I usually get porcelain/ivory foundation shade, so this one is a little dark for me. But after you apply it, it seems that this foundation can adjust to your skin tone, so the difference is not that noticable😊
It leaves a sticky feeling, so you will might want to set it with a powder.
It's very moisturizing, and it will also work good on normal or dry skin.
It conceals large pores, evens out skin tone and it is invisible on the skin.
Overall I like this foundation, and I would love to try other No.7 foundations as well👍

Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation

This foundation really feels and gives a feeling of a 'second skin' - it's blending into the skin perfectly👐
I found it applys best with a wet foundation sponge.
It covers up blemishes, pores, evens out and blurs skin tone.
It provides a matte finish, so I suggest no to apply it close to undereye, as it can make it look dry and emphasize fine lines.
It doesn't leave any stickiness and it is long lasting👍

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup

It wasn't my favorite foundation at the beginnig. I have large pores on my T-zone, and every time I applied this foundation, it emphasized all the pores so bad, and made them even more visible. I found the same effect with Maybelline Fit Me foundation, so I assumed that if a foundation is based on alcohol, when you can obviously smell it, it will sink into my pores and make them stand out.
I tried different ways of applying this Estee Lauder foundation, so the best one so far for me is a wet foundation sponge. This way it covers up pores better. But if don't look at the T-zone, everywhere else this foundation lays on beautifully:) So if you don't have large pores, you might love it right away😉
It is long lasting. The finish of it is 'powder' and satin at the same time, or 'not too matte and not too dewy'👍
The shade 1N2 'Ecru' is not the lightest, so if you are porcelain/fair skin tone, you would need a different ligher shade.
It's better to moisturize your face very good before applying this foundation, and avoid undereye area😊

Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin

I got 2 shades: 'Ivory' and 'Buff'. 'Ivory' is very light for me and have a pink undertone. I can't use it even during winter, so I'm planning to mix with darker tone foundations to lighten them up.
Shade 'Buff' has a neutral undertone and it matches my skin tone much better😊
This foundation looks beautiful on the skin and even visibly blurs it.
It conceals large pores and other imperfections.
It doesnt have any alcohol smell, though it's intended for oily skin, and it even looks good if applied on undereye area!
It is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it!😍

Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Poreless Foundation

As I've already mentioned, this foundation, just like Estee Lauder one, emphasizes my pores and sinks into them. The only way to make it look decent is to apply it with a wet foundation sponge.
The shade 'Porcelain' is VERY light, and I can only use it mixed with other darker foundation shade.
The finish of it is pure matte, it makes fine lines more visible on any area, so you should definetly avoid the undereye area.
It evens out skin tone good, doesn't leave any sticky feeling.
Overall it's a decent foundation for oily skin, if you don't have large pores, a lot of fine lines, it might work good on you:)

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation

The shade 'Classic Ivory' is, again, too light for me:)
I like that it's meant for oily skin and it doesn't smell like alcohol.
The finish is matte and comfortable.
It's invisible on the skin, and it conceals pores pretty good.
For some reasons it doesn't cover up blemishes, but you can use a concealer for that.
Overall I like this foundation, if skip the fact that it's too light for me:)
