I just realized a blunder I made. I wrote to you guys about how to apply foundation like a pro. I missed out a few cardinal details. No matter how great your application technique is, it is all in vain if you are using the wrong product. I have very oily combination skin so the journey of finding the right foundation has been an ultimate search and I want to spare you the chore. I am awesome like that.
Firstly, you should look out for these when you are selecting foundation
Shade range – You would notice that with some brands you can’t find your exact shade. The ones that are close are either too light or too dark or look ashy when you apply them or you notice the make up artiste has to do some mixing. I can tell you for free, this is not the brand for you
Oily/Combination Skin – If you have oily skin look out for oil free or matte finish brands
Silicon Base – Yes, you have to be reading labels like you are buying food
No flashback – I am happy to tell you that on those occasions where you take pictures and look like your evil twin, it is not your camera’s fault. Some foundations give this weird flashback.
So after some heavy research I present you a list of the best foundations for our skin and weather. Most of the products on this list are available and range between N3,000 and N15,000.
