Foundation for oily skin

What is the best foundation for oily skin that doesn't make my skin look cakey. No matter what foundation I use my makeup looks cakey after one hour. Every foundation I have used it makes my skin dry. Please recommend a good product.

I also have oily skin. The best foundation so far has been a BB cream. I had a few from Avon but I think that every brand nowadays does them. Equally good are the mousse creams. Unfortunately not the greatest coverage but they sit well on the skin.

I have this same problem. It’s cakey around my nose and between my eyesbrows but gets so oily in my t-zone. I really like skin tints or low coverage foundations for this reason, I like the L’Oréal skin tint and the haus labs foundation. Both hydrating but not greasy on me. A good setting powder is important too

Have you tried powder foundation? I used to bareminerals when I had acne and it worked perfectly.

Do you apply primer or moisturize your skin well before foundation? Many times it’s the culprit. I seen your other post about dehydrated skin. A good primer will let the foundation stays smooth for longer time. I love Hydromer from SlurpLab probably the best skincare+ primer I’ve ever tried. ELF has some good primers too.
