The Best Foundations For Acne Prone Skin

Finding the perfect foundation for acne-prone skin can be difficult and sometimes tumultuous. But as long as us acne-prone people stick together, we can find non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic foundations that will not only stay matte on our oily spots but will help us to stay clear from any breakouts. 

There are select foundations that are beautiful on the skin and will help you achieve a glowing and acne-free look! I have a great choice of both affordable drugstore foundations and luxury brands that are a bit more expensive but totally worth your time! 

1. Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-longwear Foundation

This foundation is honestly a godsend. At fourty-eight dollars it will last you several months and keep your oily skin at bay without making you break out. Free of sulfates, parabens, and fragrance, your skin will not only last all day but it will have the most beautiful and even finish. Everyone will be wondering where you got your new skin. Full coverage, no acne, lasts all day, what else could you want out of a foundation? Realistically the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation will become your new favorite foundation for acne-prone skin.

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation

This new liquid foundation from Anastasia Beverly Hills is fully non-acnegenic with a luminous and natural appearance. Another long-wearing foundation that will help you get the enhanced radiance you are looking for. With fifty shades of excellence and vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free ingredients you will have to look no further than this new foundation from a company that has an amazing product track record. 

Natural coverage all for thirty-eight dollars, better check it out before all shades on Sephora are out of stock!

3. Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation

Forty-Nine dollars for a beautiful and radiant foundation. You can enjoy no acne while awaiting glowing skin all day long. Oil-free upon being free of many other ingredients including parabens, formaldehyde, phthalates, coal tar and fragrance. Honestly, if those ingredients are in other foundations, why have we waited so long to get clean ingredients that won’t clog our pores or possibly give us cancer. 

The Nars foundation will feel weightless on your skin and like you are not even wearing anything, a great sign that what you have applied on your skin will not clog your pores and create zits. 

All of this and so much more, the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation brings us a tone correcting technology worked into the liquid that will help to neutralize redness, dullness, and discoloration over time.

4. Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation

Voted time and time again as the best foundation by many, and used for a very long time by Patrick Starr (Youtube and Mac cosmetics affiliated star). Supposedly 24 hour wear, you may not wear the foundation for 24 hours but having it last all day as oil-free and non-acnegenic, dermatologist tested, water-proof, and fragrance-free you will not have to worry about those beautiful pores getting clogged. 

A medium to full coverage buildable wear, if you love to cake and bake without the worry of acne popping up here and there then this is the perfect liquid foundation for you! You can wear it without worrying that your foundation will transfer from your face to your boos shirt or even your own clothing.

5. Clinique Even Better Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Foundation

Moderate coverage for all those makeup lovers who just want a bit of coverage without the worry of pores clogging. The foundation helps to improve the evenness of your skin and with the SPF 15 it will protect against the sun’s harsh rays. This foundation is then perfect for summer wear or if you live in hot weather where the possibility of humidity and harsh UV rays are beaming down all day every day. 

Flawless, natural, sweat and humidity-resistant. Come on now, you know this will be great for a lighter coverage day if you are a full coverage makeup lover. Or if you are a lighter coverage makeup lover, well then this liquid and sheer foundation will do the trick.

A favorite of many beauty Gurus makes this drugstore foundation a top contender with all of the luxury brands. At fifteen dollars you can get a non-comedogenic foundation that will look and stay fresh throughout the day without giving you little pesty zits. 

Breathable, buildable, and sweat-resistant you can get the coverage you need without worrying for the future of your skin’s condition. Check out this cult favorite in Ulta or any drugstore, I promise you won’t regret it and if you do, try one of the other foundations for acne-prone skin!

7. Too Faced Born This Way Undetectable Medium-to-Full Coverage Foundation

Another oil-free and non-comedogenic foundation that will help you look flawless and your skin finish natural but covered. A hydrating, no flashback foundation you need to look your best without sacrificing your beautiful skin. It may not be a matte foundation but for thirty-nine dollars you can get a coverage that is still gorgeous and ready to help enhance your outward shine. 

Not to mention, that there is hydrating hyaluronic acid within the foundation to keep your skin moisturized. For people with oily skin, it may not seem like a great choice but hydration is key! keeping your skin more moisturized will actually help to balance out the oiliness.

These foundations for acne-prone skin will get your skin looking flawless with and without makeup! Using foundations that are non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic will help your pores stay unclogged while you bake, cake and build up that cute coverage. I know what it is like to take off your makeup for the day and all of a sudden there are five more whiteheads that popped up out of nowhere. It is important to clean your face properly before and after application, clean your brushes at least once a week and stay true to a foundation that will not break you out after applying.
