But on the other hand, I’ve always had annoyingly oily skin and enlarged pores. I’m also prone to the occasional hormonal breakout. All this combined has meant that I’ve been on a long-lasting search for makeup that’s buildable for those blemishes, blurring for my pores, and long-lasting despite the oil. I don’t love super-thick, matte, full-coverage foundations – instead, I’ve been looking for that holy grail combination in a formula that can also give me a subtle glow. It’s a tall order, I know, but I’ve used some really fantastic foundations and primers in my years as a lifestyle journalist that have come super close to fitting that bill.
