Budget Foundation for Oily Skin

Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap foundation for me that will suit oily skin with acne and scarring?

I'm using an Estee Lauder Double Wear sample in Bone, and I really like it but my budget won't stretch that far when the sample runs out. I use Benefit The Porefessional primer (which is also running out

) and I generally use my foundation as a concealer, applying it with a brush after my base. I then use Catrice/Essence powder.

I've used Revlon Colorstay before, and while I'm not against going back to it, it did tend to feel quite 'wet' on my skin.

So it'd be great if someone could recommend a cheaper version of ELDW

I was going to say the colorstay. But have you tried vichy dermablend. It's about €20 & it has a new formula. Full coverage. Might be worth a try.

Thanks so much, I might give the Vichy a try

I use No.7 "Stay perfect", it's about €18. I have very oily skin, so anything that doesn't just slide off my face after an hour is a winner.

I second Vichy. It's a really nice foundation, full cover but doesnt look caked.

Thanks ladies, off to Boots with me on payday to check out Vichy and No 7

I am using Revlon Photoready at the mo. Really like it. I find it simlar in texture to the YSL TE foundation version. Needs to go on with a brush though.

If you are looking for a cheap cheap option, max factor pan sticks aren't bad, they just need to be blended well with a brush.

Also, used to use the benefit playsticks, really liked the coverage but they run out very quickly.
