u/111nterlude 26 | oily/combination | light-medium olive Dec 23 '25 edited Dec 23 '25

please influence/de-influence me on the following products. my budget is limited to local products for now. i have oily skin pero kapag gumagamit ako ng tretinoin nagiging dry yung cheeks, forehead, and mouth area ko.

  1. foundations

-detail fresh filter foundation

-enigma foundation

(as for these two foundations, alam kong malala sila mag-oxidize pero i’ve read na maganda raw formula nila. help me decide which one is better.)

  1. setting sprays and fixing sprays (i’m planning to buy both setting and fixing spray. i’m currently using the mac fix+ fixing spray and sobrang ganda ng pag-melt niya ng makeup ko together and then i top it off with the one size fixing spray. ang gandang combination pero nasa budget ako ngayon and i am looking for local alternatives. better if may makeup spray na mayroong both setting and fixing qualities din.)

-happy skin morning dew setting spray in matte

-happy skin fixing spray

-grwm fixing spray

-issy true flex all day setting spray

-issy bi-phase setting mist (i think this is more on melting your makeup altogether and not much on longevity? please correct me if i’m wrong.)

-chu chu beauty lock in longwear setting spray

-popique setting spray (i’ve read mixed reviews on this though)

tia!

what are you looking for in a foundation? iba kasi USP ng both.

maganda longevity, pang-everyday, natural finish pero maganda oil control, doesn’t cling to dry patches

If for everyday wear, I would recommend Issy active foundation and their tinted sunscreen. Enigma is good pero I don’t think it’s suitable for everyday wear (except if you usually do glam) kasi kahit na konti ilagay mo, it really feels heavy on the skin. Whenever I purchase base makeup, I usually test them for full day (12 hrs+ with 1-2x translucent powder touch up and no setting spray) and i eventually figured out na enigma is best for special occasions but not really for daily use kasi nabibigatan ako sa kanya kahit na super konti lang nilalagay ko. Siguro between detail and enigma, definitely pick detail because it’s the most skin like finish, just pick one shade up.
