Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation
You won’t have to keep blotting papers on hand when using this oil-free foundation. Crafted with special micro-powders to control shine and blur pores, the mattifying formula melts into skin for a beautiful, natural finish that lasts from morning to night.
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Matte Foundation
One of the hallmarks of a good foundation in our book is forgetting you’re even wearing it because it feels weightless — and that’s exactly how this foundation feels. The creamy formula glides onto skin providing super smooth, matte medium coverage that evens out skin tone and hides blemishes. You don’t have to worry about it fading either because it stays put for up to 24 hours.
Dermablend Intense Powder Camo Mattifying Foundation
If you want lighter coverage one day and more full coverage the next, this versatile foundation can give you the best of both worlds. The pressed powder formula, which is specifically made for those with oily or combination skin, is super buildable allowing you to create your own desired level of coverage with each wear.

As a makeup-skincare hybrid, this foundation doesn’t just cover up imperfections — it actually works overtime to address them on a deeper level, too.
