Best lightweight foundation for oily skin in Australia
In flawless makeup, finding the right foundation can be a game-changer, especially for those with oily skin. Australia's diverse climate, from the scorching summers to the unpredictable humidity, demands a foundation that not only provides coverage but also controls shine without feeling heavy or cakey. At Thin Lizzy, we understand the struggle and have curated a selection of the best lightweight foundations specifically tailored for oily skin types in Australia. In this guide, we delve into the features, benefits, and application techniques of our top picks- the Thin Lizzy Loose Mineral Foundation and the Thin Lizzy Pressed Mineral Foundation.
Understanding Oily Skin
Before diving into the specifics of the best lightweight foundations for oily skin, it's crucial to understand the unique characteristics of oily skin. Oily skin tends to produce excess sebum, leading to a shiny complexion and often contributing to makeup breakdown throughout the day. Additionally, oily skin can be prone to enlarged pores and acne breakouts, making it essential to choose makeup products that won't exacerbate these concerns.
Thin Lizzy Loose Mineral Foundation
Our first recommendation for oily skin types is the Thin Lizzy Loose Mineral Foundation. This lightweight formula offers buildable coverage while effectively controlling excess oil production, leaving the skin with a natural, matte finish. Infused with mineral ingredients such as mica and titanium dioxide, this foundation not only absorbs excess oil but also provides a smooth and flawless complexion.
Key Features
Lightweight Formula- The loose mineral formulation feels weightless on the skin, allowing for comfortable all-day wear without clogging pores.
Oil-Control Technology- Formulated to absorb excess oil and shine, keeping the skin matte and fresh throughout the day.
Buildable Coverage- Whether you prefer a sheer or full coverage look, the Thin Lizzy Loose Mineral Foundation can be layered to achieve your desired level of coverage.
Mineral Ingredients- Free from harsh chemicals and additives, this foundation is suitable for sensitive skin and helps improve overall skin health.
Application Tips
For best results, start by priming the skin with an oil-free primer to create a smooth canvas. Using a flawless fibre brush or a makeup sponge, gently buff the Loose Mineral Foundation onto the skin in circular motions, focusing on areas prone to oiliness. Build up coverage as needed, paying attention to areas with blemishes or uneven skin tone. Finish with a setting powder to lock in the foundation and minimize shine.

Application Tips
For on-the-go touch-ups, use the sponge applicator to pat the Pressed Mineral Foundation onto areas of the face that tend to get oily, such as the T-zone. For initial application, use a dense brush to buff the foundation onto the skin in circular motions, focusing on areas that need extra coverage. Blend seamlessly into the skin for a flawless finish.
