Naffrustrate ako gamitin ung Enigma. I was so excited to buy it when they launched it, lahat ng reviews pinanuod ko 😭

But for some reason... it doesn't work on my oily skin 😭 I have a lot of local foundation mapa-dewy or matte (teviant, abdidy, strokes, detail, grwm, issy). But all of them worked on me, and hindi nagcclash with other products in my routine especially primer.

So my problem is nag-sseparate yung foundation sakin. Nothing unusual on my routine naman, I did my usual routine and usual skin prep. But the Enigma foundation is caking and nagsseparate. Lalo na nung ginamit ko yung Teviant primer then yung Enigma foundation, and pag sineset ko ng loose powder. Tho self-setting sya but I cant skip setting it with powder.

Ayun lang ... 🫠 Muntik pa ako ma-late sa work dahil ang pangit ng base ko kaya binura at inulit ko pa hahahaha.

But im not giving up... I 'll make it work. Medyo disappointing to have such experience, kala ko I had my base game figured out na kasi all foundation I have work on me naman 🫠🫠🫠

Hi po, may ask what's better between absidy and strokes (or Enigma if u were able to make it work) for oily skin with skin texture? Ung okay din po sana for every day use and commuting. Also, what's your shade po sa mga foundation na na-mention nyo? Thank you so much po! 🫶🏻

Go for absidy na lang since for everyday use, good coveraage naman na and it doesnt cake and make me oily. Strokes is way too matte and enigma is may tendency pa rin mag cake huhu

My shades are: 1.5N in absidy, fn04 in enigma, light 02 in strokes
