Best Foundations And BB Creams For Oily Skin

Hey everyone in this post I am going to recommend a few foundations and bb creams that have worked for me despite my oily and acne prone skin. This is just in my opinion and these are just what worked for me.

Foundations

Revlon Colourstay- I really like this foundation as I find the coverage to be at a high level but it doesn't look overly cakey or thick on the skin. I find that I get the best results when I apply the product with my beauty blender as I think that it helps to achieve a nice even coverage. I also noticed that this foundation stays on my skin for a full working down and never broke me out.

Almay Clear Complexion- This foundation is targeted at acne prone skin. It contains 0.6% salicylic  acid which helps combat acne. Again I find that I get the best out of this foundation when I apply with my beauty blender. This foundation lasts most of the day but sometimes needs a little touching up. I didn't find a massive improvement in my acne after using this but it didn't make it any worse. This foundation provides a light-medium coverage but can be build up.

BB Creams

Garnier Pure Active- This bb cream is excellent for oily and acne prone skin types. This is another product that I find better when applied with my beauty blender. This product also contains salicylic acid as well. This bb cream lasts a full working day on my skin and has a good coverage especially for a bb cream. The only issue with this product is that the shade 'light' is quite dark. In most foundation ranges it would be about the same colour as the middle shade in the colour range. Due to this I can only use it is summer but the Oil Free Garnier bb cream is much lighter and I am able to use that during the winter.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream- This product is not my favourite bb cream but it is not my least favourite either. This bb cream only provides a very sheer coverage but it has good staying power and is good for a very natural looking everyday look. The Tea Tree in it also helps combat acne.

My Skincare Routine (Updated)

Hi my name is Billie-Rose and this is my updated skincare routine. I have oily and very acne prone skin with not a lot of sensitivity. I have tried product after product all of which claim to combat acne but not many products have really helped me. I fairly recently took advantage of priceline's 40% off skincare sale and bought the 'Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser' and the 'Biore Triple Action Toner'. I have now been using these two products for about 2-3 months now and I have noticed a significant improvement in my acne. I have been using my 'Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer' for a couple of years now and it has been my absolute favourite and I have always been very hesitant to change it up. After I noticed some really good improvement with the new biore products I decided to also purchase some the pore strips from biore and also their 'blemish clearing face scrub'. I love both of these products as well and I find the scrub gentle enoug

March 2016 Favourites

In this post I just want to list a bunch of products that have been my holy-grail products for this past month and beyond. These products are part of my daily makeup routine and I regularly repurchase these. 1. Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder This powder is my absolute favourite of all time. I use this powder to set my liquid foundation (use a transparent powder to set under-eye concealer). This product is a foundation in itself so it provides plenty of coverage but is controllable. This product retails for $12.99 (AU) 2. Mac Mineralize Charged Water Skin Hydrating Mist This mist is my total holy grail setting spray. I also sometimes use this as a primer water but ALWAYS to set my makeup. I find this mist gives a healthy, dewy finish to the skin without making it greasy. I also think it really helps lock my makeup on all day. It also softens contour lines and makes a more flawless base. This product retails for $32 (AU) 3. Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer Duo I boug

October 2015 Favourites

No particular order Avon Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Foundation- I really like this foundation as I found it to provide me with plenty of coverage but it still didn’t look cakey or thick on my skin. I found that applying this foundation with a beauty blender gave me the best results as it applied smooth and looked natural. I also like the wide range of shades so you are ought to find a shade that works for you. Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara- This mascara gives plenty of volume and length to the lashes. I found that after going over my lashes about 3 times with this mascara they were about 3 times the length and also very volumized. This product retails for $12.00 (AU) which is very affordable and is well worth the money. Milani Baked Blush- These are the best blushes I have ever come across. I have the colours ‘08 Corallina’ and ‘06 Bellissimo Bronze. I really like using ‘08’ as a blush but also as a highlight. I sometimes use ‘06’ as I very subtle bronz
