1.Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Matte+Poreless Foundation  

MRP: INR 500

 

If you are in India then you must have seen this foundation all over the place. This is one of the favorite foundations of all Bloggers. Rightfully so, this foundation is absolutely gorgeous on the skin.

Packaging - The Maybelline Fit Me Foundation comes in a glass bottle with a sturdy lid. There is only one defect in this product, that it does not come with a pump applicator. It can get a bit messy sometimes. Other than that the packaging is quite good.

Coming back to the actual product, as I said this is one of the best foundations available in the Indian market. This foundation is great for oily skin people as it gives a demi-matte finish. The plus point is that it can be used by dry skin as well as combination skin types.  I myself have combination skin and I love using this foundation. This gives a very natural looking skin despite it being a full coverage foundation. The consistency is not so thick, not so thin and can be applied with a brush or a beauty blender. You can even use your fingers to apply it. It is a lightweight foundation and helps to absorb excess oils from the skin giving a matte finish. It comes in 16 shades so you will definitely find your shade.

Overall I enjoy using this foundation and I am sure you will enjoy too.

2.L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24Hr Liquid Foundation

MRP: INR 1200

This is one of the best selling foundations of L'Oreal Paris.

Packaging: This foundation comes in a glass bottle with a pump applicator. The packaging is just like any high-end foundation. The actual color of the foundation is visible from outside which is great.

This foundation is for oily skin people. Anyone with combination skin can also use it but for dry skin people, I would recommend avoiding this foundation as it can be little dry for you. It gives an extremely matte finish with medium to full coverage. The consistency is quite thick. You can mix your moisturizer with this foundation if you want a subtle look. As the name says 24Hr, this foundation deserves this name as it stays on the skin for a really long time and does not move at all. It comes in 7 shades. One thing I have noticed with this foundation that it oxidizes after some time so I would say to purchase one shade lighter than your skin color.

3.L.A Girl pro Illuminating foundation

MRP: INR 1250

Packaging: This foundation comes in a plastic packaging with a pump applicator. The packaging is quite unique I feel. Also, the shade is visible from outside which always gets a plus point form my side.

This foundation is perfect for dry to normal skin people. This is not a matte foundation and it gives a dewy and hydrating look. It is lightweight and transfer proof. The consistency is not so thick and gives a medium coverage through the coverage is buildable. With this foundation, you will not look like a different person. It gives an airbrushed look if you apply it with a beauty blender but your skin can look a bit artificial if you apply it with a brush. It is a long wear foundation that easily lasts for 8 to 9 hours. It comes with 16 shades.

Overall its a pretty good foundation for dry skin people out there.

4.Nykaa SKINgenius Sculpting & Hydrating Foundation

MRP: INR 575

This one is by far my favorite foundation. This foundation has an interesting name with interesting properties.

Packaging: It comes in a plastic bottle with a sturdy lid. The packaging is very minimalistic but as far the pricing it is ok I would say. The color of the bottle is the foundation shade itself which is smart.

So if I have one word to describe this foundation, I would say its amazing. The formula is so freaking good and the best part is it has adaptation capability i.e if you buy a shade lighter or darker than your skin tone, it will adapt to your skin color. Amazing right? It's really surprising that this formula is so affordable. Everyone must try this foundation. It is extremely lightweight and you won't even feel that you are wearing any foundation. It gives dewy and natural looking skin. It's a hydrating foundation, so it's good for the skin as well. Perfect for daily use. College-going girls and office women must try this out. It comes in 5 shades for now. As of now, Nykaa tried to cover the shade range in these 5 shades. It has extremely light to dark skin shades.

I enjoy using this foundation on a daily basis and you should try too.

5.Makeup Revolution Stick foundation

MRP: INR 850

This is not a liquid foundation as the name suggests. Despite being a stick foundation, it acts very similarly to a liquid foundation.

Packaging: The packaging is stunning I feel. It has a plastic rose gold packaging. This foundation is very travel-friendly as well.

Coming to the actual product, this is a full coverage foundation. And when I say it, I mean it. It hides all dark spots, hyperpigmentation, acne scars everything. Despite it being full coverage, it still gives a natural looking face. The skin looks airbrushed and does not cake at all. It is a dewy foundation and is best for dry to normal skin. Oily skin people can also use it if you set your face with some powder after applying the foundation. It is vegan and cruelty-free so perfect for sensitive skin. It comes in 18 amazing shades so you will definitely find your perfect shade.

Overall it's a pretty good foundation for acne prone and blemished skin.

There is a bonus foundation for you.................

6.Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation 

MRP: INR 500

This is not exactly a foundation but it gives a foundation like finish. It's best for daily use. 

Packaging: This comes in a very pretty rose gold tube. The packaging is very simple and minimalistic. One con of this product is that the shade is not visible from outside.

The actual foundation is pretty good though. As the name says it is extremely lightweight and feels like skin. It is perfect for those who do not like to put lots of makeup on their face but still wants to look presentable. It is a go-to foundation for me. It stays on the skin for a pretty long time and blends into the skin like a dream. So if you are in a hunt of a lightweight and easy to use foundation, I would highly recommend to try this one out.

In the end, I would say that it is not necessary to cover your face with foundation each time you step out of the door. You are beautiful if you feel beautiful from inside💖💗.
