okay, so im trying to find a good LIQUID drugstore foundation that doesnt clog your pores and can cover up acne. I break out occasionally and i have a bit of acne on my face right now. I also have pretty oily skin and im using mineral foundation right now, but it doesnt cover very well.

i tried to help pick a good foundation especially for you: oily skin…liquid…etc: so these are the ones that i got from Michelle Phan’s blog (the link is at the bottom)
Rimmel Lasting Finish Liquid
This is one of the top drugstore foundations. This foundation works on most skin types, oily, dry, to normal, and If you are looking for a stronger coverage and with longer lasting abilities, this foundation is for you. The coverage is very good, it can cover up dark circles and blemishes very well. It blends wonderfully and gives a smooth finish. My biggest gripe is the color selection. This foundation can settle into fine lines and if you are in a humid climate, it can slip off easily. I would compare this foundation against colorstay as the king of drugstore foundations.
L’Oreal True Match Liquid
This would be L’Oreals top foundation. I would say this is department store worthy. This has a more of a medium coverage, it’s very buildable and blends beautifully. It has a very matte finish, so I do not recommend this foundation for dry skin. The color selection is by far the best for drugstore. You can definitely find your color with the vast selection in the warm, cools and neutral sections. I recommend this if you want a very buildable foundation and if you have oily to normal skin. You can see that it comes with this awesome transparent color selector, where you place this sheet over your skin, and the color patch that matches and blends the most invisible to your skin color is the color that you should select. For me, it’s easier to fist identify if you have a warm, cool or neutral undertone.
L’Oreal Visible Lift Line-Minimizing Oily Skin
Ok, for those who are trying to reduce fine lines, L’Oreal formulated a foundation that does just that. Besides Almay, L’Oreal makes amazing foundations targeting the anti aging market. This foundation softens fine lines beautifully, and does not settle into the lines or pores. The coverage is light to medium, and it has a powdery finish, so it’s perfect for oily skin.
aybelline Instant Age Rewind Liquid
Sadly, they don’t have the cream version of this foundation, which is my favorite. But the liquid is wonderful for those who have oily skin, this foundation is better for you. The coverage is medium, compared to the cream version which is more opaque and heavy. This gives a dewy finish without giving you that greasy look. I felt like this product does not do much for anti aging, I recommend L’Oreal if you are opting for anti aging.
Maybelline Mineral Power Liquid
Ok, one of the better maybelline foundations, this foundation has a medium coverage and is very buildable. It gives you a natural dewy finish. I really like this foundation, I do not recommend it for dry skin because it will show all your dry patches. And this foundation tends to look oily around the 5th hour.
Maybelline Pure Makeup Liquid
Ok, this foundation is one of the best foundation for oily skin. This product is oil free and is 50% water and provides great hydration. It has a medium coverage and has a matte finish. I definitely recommend this product for people with oily skin during the summer. I found this foundation very similar to Clinque’s foundations. Very light and clean with a natural finish.
Revlon ColorStay Makeup Dry Skin Liquid
This is one of Revlon’s top selling foundation, their color stay line. It provides a medium to full coverage and gives a satin finish. It has SPF 15 and provides both yellow and neutral undertones. This is very long wearing, with little to no touch ups. Blending with this foundation is a bit difficult, you can’t use a sponge. I use a brush and stipple the foundation instead because if you don’t stipple it, it will look streaky unless you spend a few extra minutes carefully blending it away. Regardless, a top notch foundation from Revlon. Revlon provides to both oily and normal skin. So make sure you choose the right formula for your skin type. Hands down one of the best drug store foundations, it’s right up there with the higher end products.
Revlon ColorStay Active Light Liquid
This foundation is perfect for those who are going clubbing or prom and need extra oil and sweat control. This foundation is water resistant, and I would compare it to Clinique’s superfit. The coverage is medium and it blends decently. You may find yourself blending it a bit longer than other foundations, but it’s worth it because the finish is dewy. I found that this product would work great for people who have oily skin to normal to dry skin. So if prom is coming up or you need a water resistant foundation, this one is for you.
Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil Free Compact Foundations
I remember using this foundation a few years back. I was looking around for a full coverage compact cream foundation, and heard good things about this one. Wrong, the coverage is heavy but you need a foundation brush to blend, not the sponge th
