Jones Road What the Foundation
For those who want that you-skin-but-better look, this formula has you covered (literally). Unlike other options on this list that are solid in texture, this one's a mousse. It delivers light to medium coverage and contains nourishing, hydrating ingredients, including jojoba oil and sodium hyaluronate.

Giorgio Armani Powder Foundation Balm
Countless reviewers say that just a little bit of this foundation balm goes a long way in providing a full-coverage matte finish. The best part is that it comes with an applicator for super-seamless application. Simply glide the applicator, press into the skin where you'd like coverage and diffuse with a makeup brush if you need any touch-ups.

In a clinical study of 31 women, the brand reports that 96% said their skin appeared less oily throughout the day.
