What's the best powder foundation for oily skin?

I have oily skin and I've been trying to find the right powder foundation for me because liquids are just way too cakey. I've tried a lot of different ones and none of them seem to work very well. Ieven tried bare minerals (paid $63 for it thinking it would work) but after just a little while it made my skin look oily. What should I use?

First of all you have to keep in mind you need to use the right foundation or powder texture for your skin type. They have to be oil free.
Second-not all that's expansive works for your skin needs. We are all different. You have to custom fit the textures to your personal skin needs.
For ex : Almost makeup SPF15 oil free foundation from Clinique - very lightweight, very soft finish. Doesn't give you too much coverage. It's 25 CAD.
For more coverage with very soft finish I recommend Superbalanced oil free from Clinique(25 CAD) or Double wear from Estee Lauder (33CAD). They are both liquids, very good coverage with a very soft finish.
I am very oily skin myself and I have freckles. So I need lots of coverage. I personally use Superbalanced from Clinique. I am very happy with it and it stays very well on till the end of the day.
My favorite powder foundation is Almost makeup powder spf15 from Clinique (30CAD). It doesn't give you as much coverage as the liquids that I mentioned though.

I have oily skin in my t-zone and sometimes on my cheeks. I get break outs only on my t-zone (whiteheads/pustules) and I have acne scars.

(for ex a 3 step system from Clinique) This way you will keep the extra production of oil of your skin under control and you will get rid of whiteheads and scars... read more
