I'm looking for a new liquid foundation for dark skin, preferably oil free.  TIA

I would personally suggest Revlon ColorStay. I haven't tried any others that have darker shades. 

I love Revlon Color Stay and I've noticed they have a large selection of colors! So I definitely agree with Raisa!

Haven't tried Revlon Color Stay but I do like L'Oreal True Match. They have a wide range of colors and not too oily or chalky looking when you put it on.

Totally agree with Shavon! I love L'Oreal True Match! I am a W7. I mean, if it's good enough for Beyoncé (who wears a C6), it's good enough for me, haha. The concealers don't run in as many colors as the True Match Foundation line though.

I agree with all the ladies! L'Oreal true match never treated me wrong! I never tried Revlon Color stay...might have to give that one a whirl! I like Cover Girl Queen collection Clean foundation. They have it in a powder and liquid. It has great coverage and is really light weight. Follow it by Sephora's Make up setting spray "De Slick" if you have oily skin...it sets the makeup in place for up to 6 hours. I understand your pain about finding a foundation for darker skin. I run into that all the time...I try to stick to my fav foundation.

True match is ok but color stay is ok just have to get the right color but for everyday use get the dream matte mousse love love i have to say have been using for 2yr now love it try it an its light on the skin 

Maybelline Dream Liquid mousse works for me!

Yeh I agree dream matte mousse, color stay (though u may have to buy two to get perfect match) and CoverGirl Queen collection. I can't comment positively on True Match because I don't EVER see a good color range. I know the website has them all listed, but in retail stores good luck seeing those colors. Though, it may be you need to go to an urban area.
