Best Clinique foundation for oily skin?

I'm not willing to pay anything under $35. I've got pretty oily skin but i also burn easily and i do want some (not a lot, but some) coverage for freckles.
;)

Suggestion:

i have oily skin. what can i do to make my make up last longer?

My skin is sensitive and oily so when i apply make up it looks good but three or four hours later it looks like it didn't put any on at all. I don't want to keep applying it through out the day or it looks cakey. But i hate having to wash my face and having to start over again. What can i do to make my make up last throuhout the day? Do i need to use a certain type of make up?

Suggestion:

is revlon good make up for oily skin?

ive read good reviews of the foundation of revlon photoready and there powder and finisher but idk if it works with really oily skin or not really??
hope u cna help thanks:)

Suggestion:

I don't have oily hair, and though I've had acne for many years, only recently has my skin become oily…why?

I'm almost 15 and have had moderate/sometimes severe acne since I was about 11. Luckily I usually don't have tons of huge pimples all over my face, but have small and sometimes cystic ones all the time. I have sensitive skin, take antibiotics (which may have stopped working, my dermatologist says, since I've been using them for so long), and use Clean&Clear 10% benzoyl peroxide 2x a day. My skin has actually never been extremely oily…sometimes red on my nose, though…until lately. For the past maybe 6 months, I've been having extreme problems with oil, especially on my nose (biggest problem area) and forehead (not usually a problem area). It doesn't seem like I'm getting that many more zits, just worse looking skin. :\ Also much more redness than normal. Any idea why this is? I'm thinking these could be the reasons, but I'm not sure:
- not washing my skin gently enough
- not washing the stuff off my skin enough
- Benzoyl peroxide irritating my sensitive skin? that would be bad though because I can't use salicylic acid for that reason. I've been using it for years but my acne has never fully gone away.
- antibiotics wearing out / not working at all
- not taking the antibiotics enough
- sun exposure, though I haven't been out in the sun much and usually it doesn't cause problems. I don't use sunscreen hardly at all, though.
- eating unhealthy foods, but though I don't eat as healthy as I should, my diet hasn't changed, so I don't know why it would suddenly be like this.
- going off milk? I stopped drinking milk around the same time my skin started getting worse, and I know milk is thought to worsen acne…but maybe somehow the diet change could've affected my skin? idk.
- touching my skin too much? doesn't seem likely but idk.

Sorry this was long, but if you have any explanations or ideas of what I should do differently, I'd really appreciate it if you could help. :]
