Best Foundations for Oily Skin

Cost Efficient Foundations for Oily Skin

Living in a desert can be unforgiving on the skin yet, oddly enough, I have an oily face. Thanks to genetics I get to wake up each morning with an extra shiny face! Before I go over the foundations that I have tried and absolutely love for my skin, I want to share a few tips:

1. Wash your pillow case as often as possible. I wash mine every two days, think I am crazy? Each night you rub your face on your pillow and the grease and oils build up, constantly touching your face and creating huge problems! (Acne for me!)

2. Wash your face, even on days you don't wear makeup. I love lazy days, especially when I don't put on makeup. But, I still wash my face! Like I mentioned about the pillow, your face has all of that trapped and you need to wash it off daily!

3. Find a face wash that is good for oily skin. With thousands of face washes out there, it can be hard to choose one that is best for oily skin. Make sure to do some research, because the wrong face wash can lead to even more oil depositing on your face! (Yikes!!)

Now, here are my top three foundations that I have used for oily skin! And the best part is, you can find them at any drug-store, Walmart or Target for a great price!

1. L'oreal Paris 24 hour Infallible Pro Matte

I have been recently obsessed with this one and it has become my daily "go-to." For a medium coverage foundation, it wears more like a high coverage, but it is super light on the face. I can go the whole day without having to re-powder my face due to oil seeping through.

2. Maybelline New York Fit Me! Shine-Free+ Balance Foundation (Combination Skin)

I love stick foundations and this is the best one I have tried to date! The undertone on their lightest shade (110 Porcelain) has a very light pink undertone, which is perfect for my skin. It is a lighter coverage so I reccomend using concealer as well. Like the other foundation, I have not noticed any shine breaking through after a long day of wear!

3. Revlon Colorstay 24 Hour Foundation (Normal to Dry Skin)

Dry skin! I actually did not notice that this one said "dry-skin" on it. But magically enough, this one works! It is extremely full coverage. It takes a few makeup wipes to get this stuff off, but my skin stayed matte, and I did not have much oil come through!

Those are my top three foundations for oily skin! What have you tried and loved?

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
