What is the best foundation and/or make up base for oily and shiny skin?
Q. I've been trying out a few foundations but nothing seems to work well... The oiliness appears throughout the day and makes my rubbed in foundation go runny and easily wipe-able (I don't want this). Please put prices as well, all help is very appreciated. Thanks!

A. Revlon ColorStay...that's what I use and I have oily skin. Use the ColorStay pressed powder and it gives a matte finish.

How do you match liquid foundation to your skin tone in a drugstore?
Q. I've been thinking about getting Revlon Colorstay foundation at Rite Aid because I've been watching a lot of reviews on it. Most people only have good things to say about it. But, I hate it when I go the the store and get a foundation, then I get home and try it and it's too dark or too light for me. So can you tell me how I can go there and get a color that matches me well?

A. When looking at the colors, don't look at the foundation, but the piece of paper, on the foundation displaying the color after it dries. Match this to your hand skin color. Also, if you are stuck between two colors, always go with the lighter, because dark is more noticeable and looks like you are wearing a mask.
