Please recommend BB cream, foundation, & TM for oily skin.
My skin is actually oily/combo, but gets much oilier in the summer.
I'm very fair skinned. I need light to medium coverage. Bonus points if it has any anti-aging properties, which I realize is probably impossible to find in something designed to fight oily skin.
I'd like to hear all recs, whether they be drugstore or high end. Thanks!

Re: Please recommend BB cream, foundation, & TM for oily skin.
I'm trying the new stay matte liquid foundation from Clinique. Just bought it today
You can also try the murad mattefying lotion as a primer...that stuff is great ...for cheap a few ladies on the board use milk of magnesia on their face as a primer
Thanks!
We were having fun at the craft store!
BB Cream - I like Smashbox. It's the only one that stays relatively matte and matches my super fair skin.
Foundation - I really like Bobbi Brown. I've worn the oil free, the stick and the mattifying/all day one and I like all three
TM - I guess my favorite was either Clinique or Laura Mercier but both were not a great match for my skin and needed a primer and setting powder
You NEED the Clinique BB!
We basically have the same skin and needs. I wanted a BB that worked with my combination skin, had light to medium coverage, spf 30+, and anti-aging properties in addition to the SPF.
I've been using the Clinique BB for probably a couple of months now and love it. You do need to apply it to skin that is a tiny bit damp, or else it can be hard to rub in. With slightly damp skin, it blends into the skin really easily, and provides really nice, light/medium coverage. It has spf 30, which you need for antiaging, as is also full of antioxidants, which are also antiaging. It has another ingredient to soothe irritated skin, which is nice as well. It's not specifically designed to combat oil, but it certainly doesn't add to the oil on my face. Right now, pressed powder is enough to control any t-zone shine I have, but when it gets warmer in Atl, I'm going to be wearing a little bit of Milk of Magnesia on my t-zone under my BB to control the shine (it works wonders).
