I have found a foundation that works great with my oily skin (Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear), but I feel like I could maybe find better.
So does anyone personally recommend any foundations that will stay on all day in humid Texas heat? I do buy all my own makeup (and I am 14), so please either great values or drugstore buys. 
Thanks!

Try the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation- it didn't work out for me because I have dry skin (it looked terrible) but it could work well on oily skin.

I've heard good things about the Rimmel stay matte line! I would opt for translucent powder so you can touch up anytime :)

I'm going to write you a little story. So I work at shoppers in the cosmetics department, my shifts range from 6-8 hours. I have to keep applying a setting powder almost every hour because my skin is SO oily. It's genetics which really sucks! I even wear all the high end foundations like bourjois, Vichy... But today I was looking in my makeup drawer and I found a foundation that I haven't used in such a long time. It's the cover girl clean oil control foundation. I only had to use powder ONCE at work today! It kept me SO matte and the coverage is so amazing! I have acne scars on my cheeks and it covered it right away. The cost is $8 (Canadian) but sometimes it goes on sale for about $5. Honestly so amazing. I'm going to stock up on it!

Use an oil control matte primer the Rimmel one is okay oh and a setting spray works wonders the nyx matte setting spray is good.

Rimmel has broken me out, but it did last incredibly long.
Suzy - When I used it I felt like my skin looked cakey. How do you apply it?

I have a beauty blender! it's a round one so I just kind of roll it onto my skin. I also used a primer. Also less is more, remember that :)

Hmmm okay. I will have to try it again. I know I tried the powder and neither light or medium was my color, both too orange. I can't remember the color of the liquid foundations, but I hope it isn't the same case.

The Wet N Wild Coverall foundation works awesome for all skin types, although I feel it would work better for normal-combination to oily skin types (on really dry skin it may cling to dryer patches, but nothing major). I have skin in the oiler side and it has kept me matte for up to 16 hours, assuming I use blotting sheets maybe once or twice throughout the day. But, comparing it to other foundations I've tried that claim to be "matte" this is a really good wear time. Also it retails for around $4 at Walgreens. Hope this helped!
