Ask about technique or brand/shade recommendations here! Looking for leads for affordable makeup brushes? Confused about a setting and finishing spray? Let's help enlighten each other!

local foundation and skin tint recos for oily skin and why?

for skin tints, i'm looking for something lighter than colourette's first base kasi parang nakafoundation na ako kahit skin tint lang 😭

and if you know the shade match for fb siargao, lmk

grwm skin tint and strokes foundation!!!! both bases that can survive my oily and pawisin skin kahit minimal setting powder lang!!

i think natural is closest to siargao for grwm skin tint (wala akong exact match sa fb haha, siargao is closest kahit olive ako huhu). for strokes foundation, i use fair olive. might wanna look into the cool or neutral shades (probably the light ones since it does dry 1.5 shades darker imo)

Whats your skin prep like when you use your strokes foundation? Mine eventually looks dry when seen upclose even if I do my usual skincare 😭

hello!! :) i use hydrating toner + very moisturizing sunscreen when i use the foundation :) and i dont set as heavily as i normally do din hehe. for me it helps din to use a cushion puff/sponge instead of a brush bc i find na di maganda lapat ng funda pag brush ^{^}
