These Foundations Were Made For Oily Skin

More often than not, using a matte foundation means shine-free, long-wear full coverage all day long.

Better still, many fit a drugstore budget, and work just as well in the crisp fall weather as the middle of summer. The best foundations for oily skin, ahead.
