Hi darlings,
I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I kinda did…not much happened though. So, over the weekend, I met some beautiful women and they all had the same question for me. The question was ‘what are the best foundations for oily skin?’. Oh yes! I gave them my best foundations for oily skin and thought why not share it with you too. I have used quite a lot of foundations in my line of work and I have come up with a list of my top 5 foundations for oily skin. In no particular order, here they are :
- Revlon Color Stay Foundation For Oily/Combination Skin – Price is 3,700naira. It’s available for purchase here.
- Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation – Price is 2,500naira. It’s available for sale here.
- Black Up Full Coverage Cream Foundation – Price is 7,030naira. You can purchase at BlackUp Boutique, Shop L072 ,City Mall Shopping Complex, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria
- MAC Studio Fix Foundation with SPF 15 – Price is 8,500naira. You can purchase at any MAC Store.
- Maybelline Fit Me Poreless Foundation – Price is 2,800naira. It’s available for sale here
I’m still trying out other brands and I shall update this list as soon as I discover more fantastic foundations for oily skin. I hope you found this post helpful. What is/are your best foundation(s) for oily skin? I would love to know!
Hugs and Kisses,
Missglam.
(P.S – Prices are subject to change based on various factors like forex etc.)

Hi Ope. You can use Revlon in Toast or Maybelline in Toffee. X
Hi Miss glam, aren’t these foundation brands comedogenic? I was told they make people prone to acne and break out.
Hi Sharon. I believe we spoke on the phone earlier this week. Yes, they do not clog pores and are fantastic for oily and acne prone skin! X
Hi Miss glam. Pls which shade do I use in revlon? Am currently using Milani foundation, colour 109.
Hi Linda. Revlon Colorstay in Cappuccino should be fine. However, make sure to test before you purchase. X
Hi Miss glam. Just bumped into your blog while i was searching online for best products for oily skin (like you didn’t see that coming…lol!!) Any way i was wondering what you would recommend as the best revlon shade as an alternative to MaryKay (medium coverage) bronze 507
Thanks!
Hi Lola. Aww…thanks for stopping by! 😀 . MaryKay 507 would be Toast in the Revlon Colorstay range. X
I have an oily face . pls do you think i should use revlon colourstay or blackup foundation. thank you
Hi MrsSexy, they are both fantastic for oily skin. It all depends on your budget. X

hello miss glam, I found this post to be very useful, but my challenge I changed from mary kay matte wear to Revlon colorstay, infact i have not used it for two months then i started breaking out.
however i have stopped using the foundation im presently battling with clearing the spots. I need to go back to my beauty regime but im so scared what do i do?
Hi Opeyemi, aww so sorry to hear that! Did you by any chance, change any of the products you use on your face asides the foundation? I hardly hear about break outs from using Revlon colorstay foundation but it’s good you’ve stopped using it. Now, let’s see what’s causing the break out and know the next step to take. You could check out my skin care regimen and products to try out. Please let me know how it goes! X
