Best MAC Products for Oily Skin 2015: What the Experts Recommend



MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation has an oil-controlling formula that provides a matte finish with a medium to full buildable coverage. It is one of the best foundations for oily skinned beauties offered by MAC. It helps in minimizing the pores and imperfections, giving your skin a smoother and more flawless finish. The formula is non-streaking, non-settling, non-cakey and photo-friendly. It spreads out easily and blends effortlessly. The foundation provides broad spectrum SPF 15 as well and does not oxidize.

Look for keywords on the packaging, like "oil-free, long-wear, mattifying, and 10- (or any other double-digit number) hour wear," says makeup artist Mai Quynh. She also notes to check for ingredients with soft-focus microsphere powders and water as the first or second ingredient in the product. "Avoid ingredients like jojoba or any other types of oils or emollients," says Quynh, as these can make oily skin look shinier.


New York City-based makeup artist Neil Scibelli says IT Cosmetics's Oil-Free Matte CC+ Cream is an awesome buildable-coverage pick for oily skin. "It leaves a matte yet still airbrushed-like finish to the skin, preventing shine and blurring pores," he says.


Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Liquid Foundation has become a favorite within the Allure office for its hydrating yet non-greasy formula that works on both oily and dry skin types. This medium-coverage foundation contains hydrating hyaluronic acid to draw moisture onto the surface of the skin, creating a plumper look while evening skin tone. Charlotte Tilbury's latest complexion-enhancing foundation comes in 30 shades to choose from, so finding the right hue for your skin tone will be a breeze.


If you prefer a full-coverage foundation, Blk/Opl's True Color Skin Perfecting Stick is your best bet. This Allure 2021 Best of Beauty-winner glides and blends effortlessly onto skin, and it has a no-budge formula that won't smudge or fade throughout the day.


"It stays put even in humid climates, comes in 50 shades, and is ideal if you have oily and/or breakout-prone skin,'' says makeup artist and photographer Robin Black. "This power compact comes with a convenient sponge for touch-ups, but for daily at-home, full-face use, I prefer a powder brush or a blender sponge." She recommends applying a light layer over your entire face, blending at the jawline, temples, and ears; then, go back and apply an extra coat to any areas that could use a little more coverage.


Ah, the power of powder. "Some people with oily skin do really well with powder foundations," says Koestline. "Powder helps absorb oil naturally, mattify the skin, and keep makeup in place." This one has the added value of a rosehip complex that also hydrates the skin, which, again, is important for oily skin. The formula is housed in a refillable compact that you can throw in your bag for easy touch-ups anywhere.


Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear is another one of Medhin's favorites, as it comes in 50 shades, provides full coverage (which can be easily sheered out or built up) that doesn't fade throughout the day, and doesn't budge on oily skin. She says it's great to use on sensitive skin because "it helps cover up acne as your skin heals." On top of that, this oil-free formula is also packed with perlite and silica to absorb excess oil and mattify.


Oily skin is not the best surface for foundation and you will often find, as your skin gets oilier throughout the day, that your foundation will start to look greasy and slip down your face. This can be a nightmare for aesthetic reasons, but can also feel uncomfortable.


This is a lightweight foundation that provides a sheer coverage. Lightweight foundations, especially those with a sheer finish, are usually avoided by people with oily skin as they are often very thin and liquidy. This can cause the foundation to become shiny and greasy throughout the day.


Having oily skin can result in a large number of pimples, pimple scars, and large pores that you might want to cover up. But be careful with thick, full coverage foundation as this can clog your pores further and make the problem even worse.


You should of course wash your face twice a day, but as salicylic acid is an exfoliant and hyaluronic acid traps moisture, you can easily find makeup products that can work wonders for your skin.


This lightweight, moisturizing foundation and concealer provides full coverage without clogging pores. This 12-hour wear, breathable formula is ideal for very dry to combination oily skin types, its special polymer formula forms a flexible film that moves with the skin for lasting wear, and it dries slowly for easy blending. Get lasting coverage and give skin a perfected look that stays put, even through sweat and humidity.


- the coverage is too light for my liking. Although it is buildable, I don't necessarily want to put a ton of product to achieve the right coverage for me (yeah, you can call me lazy ;P )- definitely not suitable for oily skin, I'm very shiny very quickly with it.- it's not long lasting


I think I will definitely try this foundation again in a few weeks, because I started a new treatment for my oily skin. So if it works, my skin may look less like a giant French fry and the finish will probably be different. Fingers crossed!


2) MAC ConcealersMAC has quite a few concealers in their kitty but the famous ones are the Pro Longwear Concealer, Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer and Studio Conceal and Correct Palette. The Pro Longwear Concealer is liquid based which gives a medium to high coverage and lasts under the eyes without creasing for a long time. The Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer is a cream based concealer which also delivers high coverage and blends smoothly on the skin. The best is the Studio Conceal and Correct Palette which is worth investing in. The palette comes in 4 variants (light, medium, medium-deep and dark) with 6 concealers each including color correctors and under eye brightener. All these concealers are crease free and long lasting. The MAC concealers are the top selling products by MAC


4) MAC FoundationsJust like the lipsticks, MAC has an extensive foundation range which is suitable for oily, dry, combination and normal skin types. Every foundation range also has a wide variety of shades and you would surely get a perfect match. The foundations are extremely good, packed with low to high coverage and ideal for everyday use or occasions, events and photography, basically catering to every requirement. In fact, not only liquid they also have powder foundation like the Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. Some of the best MAC foundations that we love and recommend are Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15, Studio Face and Body Foundation, Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation, Pro Longwear Foundation & Mineralize Foundation and Full Coverage Foundation. Due to the sheer variety and extensive range, MAC Foundations are a total must have!


7) MAC Pigments and EyeshadowsMAC has a broad collection of finishes and shades when it comes to eyes makeup. Their most popular products are the pigments and the single eyeshadow. These pans are also available as refills and can be incorporated in a magnetic palette to create your own customized palette. The eyeshadows are soft and buttery in texture and blend seamlessly. It gives a rich and pigmented saturation of color. Some of the must have MAC eyeshadows are Sable, Patina, Nylon, Carbon, Mystery, Soft Brown and Woodwinked. You can also try their pigments which are basically loose powder eyeshadows with tones of glitter and shimmer. The best MAC pigments are Rose Gold, Copper and Vanilla.


Not everyone who has oily skin struggles with acne, but if it is a concern for you, consider this salicylic-acid-boosted foundation. The lightweight formula gives medium coverage that fends off new bumps and lets your skin breathe. The inclusion of aloe vera also helps to calm any redness or inflammation from current breakouts, while the proprietary oxygen complex helps heal scarring.


I prefer to use more matte foundations during summer since my combination skin tends to get more oily. This foundation has good coverage, good staying power and comes in an extensive range of shades.


Even though my skin type is not oily, I wanted to try out this foundation. The coverage is high, and the formula is thick and super matte. Even though the shade range is extensive, I found it hard to find my perfect match.


A super lightweight body lotion that adds a burst of hydration along with imparting a healthy glow to the glow. It has a fresh, light scent and is apt for summers and oily skin. My Rating: 4/5


Infused with good anti-aging ingredients. A lightweight gel-cream product that moisturizes the skin without leaving the skin greasy. It has a warm perfume scent and is a bit highly-priced. Suitable as a night cream for oily-normal-combination skin types. My Rating: 4/5


A milky white emulsion-type liquid sunscreen. It has a very nourishing formula, gives a dewy finish, and can make you look like a grease ball if you have oily skin. Has a mild white cast and flashbacks in photographs. Try it if you have dry skin and/or live in colder climates. My Rating: 2.5/5


Fragrance-free, mattifying, light to medium coverage powder foundation. Gives a natural-looking finish and is available in 5 shades. A good product for oily acne-prone skin types. My Rating: 4/5


Since I have acne-prone skin, I always look out for products that target acne or pimples. I was eyeing the tea tree oil but ended up picking the face wash among the entire Tea Tree Range. I was high on pimples when I first started using this a couple of years ago.


This Satsuma and the Strawberry variant are the most popular ones among all TBS shower gels. I got this one as I love citrus-scented body products. But unfortunately, this scent failed to impress me. The fragrance is exactly like that of Fanta (a popular soft drink). It is not bad as such but I did not like this scent in my shower gel. As it is strongly scented my whole bathroom smells like Fanta and the scent lingers on my skin for the initial two or three hours post-shower. 2ff7e9595c
