“Oily summer skin can really benefit from an easy-to-use powder foundation like Burt’s Bees Mattifying Powder Foundation, ” Aharon said. “I appreciate the brand’s clean and vegan formula, along with its versatile application. The sponge allows for fuller coverage, while using it over your moisturizer with a brush can give you a light evening of the skin.”

This foundation controls shine with buildable and blendable coverage to give you a smooth and even skin tone while blurring imperfections. The formula is lightweight, non-comedogenic and great for oily skin.

 

“I love using a matte foundation, personally, but matte foundations, in general, are always better for people with oily skin,” Bybel said. “If you have something that’s super dewy on top of your oily skin you’ll end up just looking like a disco ball, which no one wants. This is oil-free, sits above your skin and doesn’t clog your pores.”

CoverGirl’s Clean Matte Liquid Foundation makes your skin look poreless and is designed to give a fresh, shine-free base to upgrade your natural makeup look.
