Estee Lauder Double Matte Oil-Control Makeup SPF 15

Best oil control foundation EVER!!!!

I have really oily skin and have been on an eternal search for a foundation that actually helps with oil...I've tried mattifying foundations, primers, sprays, moisturizers, powders, you name it...from both drugstore and higher priced brands. My skin would still be really shiny within a few hours, and I have a busy job and can't stop to use powder every few hours but then it would be so embarrassing when I saw how shiny my nose and forehead were by lunchtime. Ugh. Finally I tried this one, and I am in love! If it was a man I'd marry it. Haha. I have mild rosacea so I love the coverage if provides in addition to the shine control. It surprisingly minimizes my pores too, even though I don't think they advertise that. I got so many compliments the first week I used it of how good I looked! And for $35, it was actually cheaper than most of the brands I had tried at Sephora. If you're looking for sheer coverage or a very light foundation, you may find it too heavy, but I absolutely love it. But it can't be beat for oil control. I'll be getting the Double Matte powder with the next gift with purchase program for touch ups, not that I'll need it a lot!
