Matte simply means that it's not shiny. It can be used for any skin type. If you have oily skin look for an oil free foundation. It'll say that right on the bottle in big, bold letters. Pretty much every make up brand has a oil free version of their foundation.





Personally, I like powder. I use Loreal True Match and it's pretty good with my oily skin. It gives me just enough coverage to even out my redness while still looking extremely natural.
Matte foundation is really for anyone...that is why some matte foundations contain oil....





Also, your second question is dependant upon how much you are willing to spend for good makeup...and your preference.





I prefer the natural feeling and look...so that is why I'm always willing to dish out $100 for foundation. I like the BareMinerals...it feels so awesome...and plus since I have bad acne it does an awesome job of not screwing with my medications and feels so lightweight...the informercials are very accurate.
Matte is not just for oily skin, it just doesn't have that shiny appearance. Try to find a shade that is the same as your skin, to dark will look awful, then use a loose face powder to blot and blend into your skin.
Usually most matte foundation is made specifically for oily skin, but not always. Just make sure it states that it is oil-free. Matte finish is best for oily skin because the formulas are usually made to absorb oil and shine. the best one i used is Chanel's Double perfection matte foundation. it costs 42 bucks. go to the counters! they usually have samples.





they also have different types of coverage like cream matte (42 dollars) for more coverage and powder (47.50 bucks) form for light coverage. the foundation is more medium to light coverage.





estee lauder makes good one too, like the double wear but i've only tried it once so im not sure about the price.





dior has really nice ones too! bout the same price as chanel. they have a matter light one called i think Dior Icone? check em out!
