Having sensitive combination to oily skin can be really a headache
since not all my face areas are oily, in my case I have an oily T zone in
combination with normal skin in the rest of my face. By the way, I have some
blemished areas (that are in treatment), so I need a foundation that can give
me a long lasting, healthy matte, medium or medium to full coverage, skin like
finish.
My current favorites foundation of this 2021 are by Makeup Revolution, NYX cosmetics, and Base of Sweden. I really love all of them, and to me they are absolutely a must have, from the most affordable to the most expensive.
LIFESTYLE FOUNDATION MADE TO PERFORM, by Base of Sweden.
Since my days with MAC pro long wear foundation, I
never ever tried a makeup foundation that is waterproof, non-cakey, with a nice
buildable coverage, non-comedogenic, vegan, with an almost skin like finnish. I can even
say, that is better than the MAC one.
It has a light sticky texture, that perfectly glue to the skin, and one is dried is immovable and stay perfect all day long, being one of the strongest all terrain makeup foundation, being to me one of the best options to choose for a very long day of work.
CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP, by NYX.
I really love it, being to me the closest makeup foundation
to the MAC pro long wear one (one of my beloved), and less expensive. But, even
if I love everything about it, in my case I prefer to mix it with another
makeup foundation, since the texture is very liquid.
It stays all day long but is not waterproof at all like the first one, but water resistant. By the way, is cruelty free, long lasting, with a buildable coverage from medium to full, and is not cakey.
MATTE BASE PORE BLURRING FULL COVERAGE FOUNDATION, by
Makeup Revolution.
This ended being a truly discover! I never expected
that Makeup Revolution will ever create such a nice product. From the formula
to the texture this product is a keeper. It has a nice skin-like medium to full
coverage, that leaves a flawless finish. Is not the most long-lasting makeup
foundation I ever tried (obviously), but it stays perfect for hours, and with
the correct setting powder and makeup primer, it can last perfect for eight to
nine hours.
Is not waterproof or water resistant but is really a good option if your necessities aren’t too high. I personally use it alone or mixed with other makeup foundations for a better texture, being one of the most versatile makeup product I own.
Otherwise, in general, another thing that I love from this makeup foundations are the fact that they are non-comedogenic (don’t clog pores), so I don’t need to worry about breakouts caused by my makeup foundation (RIP Glamzilla, I love you).
REMEMBER: a makeup foundation will always work better on a well-groomed skin, than on a skin that has never seen a serum. So, skincare first, for a flawless makeup application and a more long-lasting finish.
