5 Best foundations for oily skin- tried and tested! By Ritu updated on April 24, 2018 July 8, 2016 4 Comments on 5 Best foundations for oily skin- tried and tested! The struggle is real. The extra sebum that oily skin produces means your makeup can slip around and leave you with a greasy look. With a few key primers, foundations and powders, however, your complexion will downright.
Large pores can be a bummer. Since pore size is mainly controlled by things like genetics and age, the bad news is that if yours are not so petite, you'll have to live with it. The good news is that there are lots of skin-care products you can use to help minimize their appearance. With the right products and a little professional-makeup-artist know-how, you can make your pores look pretty much nonexistent.
Get primed.
'To conceal larger pores, it's important to start with a good primer, that way the makeup won't accentuate pores. I love Neutrogena Shine Control Primer. It's weightless and doesn't feel greasy.'—Daniel Chinchilla, who works with Ariana Grande and Keke Palmer
Even out your skin tone.
'Foundation normally exaggerates pores. The best thing to do is even out the skin tone with M.A.C. Studio Face and Body Foundation. If skin is evened out, the pores will blend in better.'—Niki M'nray, who works with Rihanna and Gigi Hadid
Try the Surratt Beauty Surreal Real Skin Foundation Wand.
'I have large pores and I've been using this on myself. The finish is gently matte, almost 'mattine,' and it really diminishes the look of my pores. Without looking heavy, it evens out the skin, and the wand brush beautifully buffs the product to near invisibility.'—Fiona Stiles, who works with Gabrielle Union and Chrissy Teigen
Opt for a compact foundation, like Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Fresh and Hydrating Cream Compact.
'Using a compact allows for pinpoint coverage in areas where pores are larger. This foundation is light and filled with moisture, making your skin look fresh and your pores lightly concealed, avoiding any clumping of product.'—Robert Greene, who works with Tinashe and Samira Wiley
Or Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation.
'It delivers sheer to medium dewy coverage that looks like your skin. Minerals are cut into super small particles to reflect light off of the pores.'—Azra Red, who works with Zola Jesus and Sita Abellan
Apply your foundation the right way.
'To fill in the pores and blend them, apply the foundation using a synthetic brush in a crosshatching motion. Finish with a soft-focus powder, like the Koh Gen Doh Maifanshi Face Powder to set and bounce the light in the most believable and flattering way.'—Suzy Gerstein, who works with Camilla Belle and Christy Turlington Burns
Try Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup.
'This foundation has incredible coverage. It's a bit heavy, so if you want more sheer coverage, it's fine to sheer it out with your favorite moisturizer.'—Sarah Tanno, who works with Lady Gaga and Suki Waterhouse

Make sure you have the right tools.
'For larger pores, it's more about the tools than the product. I say Beautyblender all the way. Also, using a stippling brush with your foundation will soften and conceal large pores.'—Edward Cruz, who works with Priyanka Chopra and Kat Graham
