So @mindofamaka tagged me to a post on instagram along with some other beauty enthusiast, wanting to know the foundation that would solve her oily skin problem, under the 5,000-6,000 Naira price range, and also if she were to do the powder before foundation routine, will her makeup last longer. She had between four different choices, the Zaron healthy glow, Maybelline fit me, Hegai And Esther Photo perfect, and the Revlon Colour stay foundation.
Thanks to Amaka, she gave me the inspiration to write this blog post.
She also has an awesome blog kindly click here to check it out.
I was somehow among the last set of people to reply / drop a comment. A lot of people gave honest recommendation, which I didn’t have a problem with. But then again, will you wear foundation for 24hrs??? 7 days a week, 12 months a year?????
My reply was this ” so many helpful tips . Invest in a good spray, ( mattifying better still) , get a good base, by base I mean a good primer. The oiliness in your face cannot totally disappear. Before foundation ehn, let me ask you a question. How have you managed your oily face over the years. Foundation ain’t your skin saviour oooo”
According to the internet, Foundation is a cosmetic or a beauty essential, normally used all over the face to even out our skin tone, which could also give medium or full coverage. You could use a sponge, foundation brush to apply.
I normally apply my foundation in a downward /outward motion or manner, and I ensure I use a foundation primer, to set the foundation, as well as to make it last longer. Then I set with NYx Mattifying setting spray.
In all of these definition listed above, it never said it helps reduce oily skin.
Foundation is not your skin saviour, and can’t be used as a concealer, it is used to even out skin tone, please, don’t use it to completely cover up blemish to avoid caking, or use it to add colour like my sisters who have a skin shade of marykay bronze 607, and because, they want to look fairer, they buy bronze 507, foundation nor be bleaching cream ooooooooo……….
Finally, If you have oily skin, please invest in a good skin care routine. Even if you don’t have power to do any, Please in the name of God EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE !!!!!!!!!!.
There are so many DIY recipes for exfoliation on the internet, it ranges from sugar, to oats and milk, to honey, to coffee etc.
Have you used any foundation that totally kept oil away from your face for so long??? Do you think foundation primers are important to a makeup routine??? Do you think there’s nothing makeup can’t solve??? What’s the best foundation you have ever used so far???
Let’s discuss in the comment section below.
Have an amazing day today😘😘😘
