Shopping for a new foundation is no easy task. With huge shade ranges to tackle, varying formulas to take into consideration and a sliding scale of price ranges to choose from, it can be hard to narrow down the exact product you need.
Best foundations for oily skin Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Sheer SPF20 Foundation, £35.50 here The little sister to the iconic Double Wear heavy duty foundation, this version offers lighter coverage but with the promise of resistance to sweat, oil and humidity, and protection from the sun, pollution and blue light.
Fenty Beauty PRO FILT'R Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, £30 here The biggest problem that those with oily skin face when it comes to foundation is how long the product lasts on the skin before it slips – often no longer than midday. Reviewers love this foundation from Rihanna’s cosmetic line because it has “incredible staying power”.
Primark’s PS… Double Coverage Matte Foundation, £5 in stores According to savvy shoppers on Facebook’s Extreme Couponing & Bargains group, this Primark foundation is “dupe” for Estée Lauder’s original Double Wear Foundation – known for being one of the best full-coverage foundations. The Primark version promises both decent coverage and long-lasting staying power for those with oily skin.
