Posted by Sebrina Pilcher on Sunday, May 5, 2024

Finding the best foundations for combination skin isn’t always the easiest task, but if you’re on the hunt for a new product to add to your makeup bag then you’ve come to the right place. While there are a few things to consider before you add a combo skin foundation basket, it’s important to find something that will straddle the (very fine) line between preventing that inevitable middle-of-the-day oil slick, while ensuring that it won’t cling onto dry patches or, God forbid, dry skin out further.

Typically speaking, people with combination skin tend to have an oily t-zone, pores that are more visible and are prone to breakouts – all whilst simultaneously having to deal with dry, duller areas in other areas of your face. Let’s just say it’s not an easy thing to juggle – and once you’ve found the best moisturiser for your combination skin – it’s time to find a foundation that will compliment and work in tandem with it.

Speaking from experience, it’s usually the case that anybody with combination skin will want a foundation with a finish that sits somewhere in the middle of matte and dewy – too matte and skin could look flat, which is likely to make dry areas much more obvious, but if it falls too far on the dewy side, that glow could be mistaken for excess oil production.

Of course, the finish you choose is a completely personal choice, and if you prefer something more illuminating, go for it – but one thing to look out for is that any product you do choose is non-comedogenic. In short, that means it won’t further clog pores and is therefore much less likely to cause breakouts.

So, whatever your chosen finish to slather on with your foundation brush, we guarantee that your perfect match really does exist. Keep scrolling to discover just a few of the best foundations for combination skin according to GLAMOUR editors that we hope will help you nail your next base purchase.
