I have oily and acne prone skin. I also am fairly pale with cool beige undertones. which of these foundations would work the best for me? I would like for it to be medium to full coverage and matte.

Try the may belling fit my foundation. It is what I use and it's fab. I also have oily and acne prone skin. This has flawless coverage and doesn't clog your pores. You can find it at target for like $10

Lylla, I have tried that but it has sheer to very little coverage and got oily very quickly. I did research online and found that these were the top 4 foundations in my price range.

I've only tried the Estee lauder, Clinique, and MUFE. I have oily skin but I can get dry patches where I get breakouts (which happens often). I'm light/medium (about NC25 in winter) with warm/olive undertones. So as far as finding a shade match I may not be much help. MUFE was OK, but not what I expected for the price. I was blotchy within a few hours, and after about 4-5 hours it would seperate in my tzone, and worst of all it caked when I tried to add a second layer. the coverage wasn't the best, it did good with my redness but veins and the circles under my eyes looked untouched and it accentuated my "scabbie" breakouts. the Clinique didnt break down but it didnt "stay matte" very long either. it did do really well on my dry patches, and the finish is a really nice natural matte. It's not what I would call full on coverage but it is on the heavier side of medium. Really I remember hating this one because it transferred SO badly, even hours after with powder and setting spray. I really like the estee lauder, I think there's a reason it's a cult classic. I do know their shades don't go TOO pale, but if you really love it you can always mix in a white foundation. It has heavy medium-full coverage. Not as full-on coverage as say, dermablend which covers tattoos, but I don't feel a need for concealer after two layers. and it doesn't transfer. It didnt break down on me, it lasts from the time I go to work until the time I go home, and even though I do have to blot after a few hours I plan on that with any foundation.

Aleena, thank you for the detailed reviews! I think I am going to try and get some samples of the Estee Lauder and the Clinique foundations.

Samples first!! I always get samples before buying foundations since they are all pretty pricey. I think the ones your think about are great options and exactly what I would have recommended. I believe most stores let you try out about 3 samples if you ask (Sephora is the friendliest when it comes to this...).

I've been wanting the Estée Lauder double wear for freaking ages, still haven't gotten it but because of that I'd say the double wear lol. I've only heard and seen good things with that foundation. I don't know much about the others :)

Estée Lauder is one of my HG's! I also have oily, acne prone skin. It has a beautiful matte finish and is medium to full coverage. But yes, grab a sample before making a purchase!
