Combo Skin
Flaky in some places, shiny in others — combination skin can be especially tricky to pair with beauty products. But really, it’s all about balance.
Lucky for you, our editors found two foundations that were made with combination skin in mind. See what they have to say about the formulas that curb oil in all the right places without drying out their skin.
Sephora Collection
Matte Perfection Full Coverage Foundation
Inconsistent weather has made my skin extremely prone to breakouts, so this formula has been a lifesaver when it comes to covering blemishes and evening out my skin tone.
I was a little nervous about wearing a full-coverage foundation, but this one exceeded my expectations!
I get significantly more oily in the warmer months, so this waterproof, mattifying option will have me covered as temps begin to rise.
The Sable shade was a perfect color match, which has been difficult for me in the past and thus a huge point in its favor. It went on smoothly and was absolutely weightless; I didn't even feel like I was wearing makeup!
I prefer lightweight makeup and Fenty Beauty feels like nothing (which is my main goal with makeup). I love that it reduces shine on my face and minimizes my pores!
Most foundations make my oily skin
break out and somehow enlarge my pores. Because of this, I have notoriously been against foundations — until I met Fenty.
This powder foundation not only gave me natural-looking coverage, but the salicylic acid in the formula also kept my skin clear even after a full day of wear. Plus, the shade matched my skin perfectly!
Since I have oily skin, I'm
always looking for beauty products
that help prevent breakouts.

Once and for all, let’s bust the myth that having oily skin means foundations will melt right off your face. Totally false!
All it takes is finding a formula that’s equal parts long-wearing and mattifying. Any other benefits are just added perks. See two editor-approved options ahead.
I'm really excited to wear this during the Summer months when I want something lightweight but buildable that has a glowy finish — plus the SPF 20 is a major bonus!
This Tarte foundation-concealer hybrid applied smoothly and really evened out any redness and discoloration, while being buildable enough to cover breakout areas.
I love how easy it is to apply, and the results are nothing short of photo-shoot ready. It kept shine at bay without drying out my skin, and it was comfortable for all-day wear, which is important to me. I’m so glad I’ve found an effective foundation that includes hyaluronic acid, too.
I prefer a foundation that has substantial coverage, and this one definitely fits the bill.
