Very helpful especially since I'm an oily/oily-combination girl. I have enough higher-end foundation but need more lower-end alternatives so I don't use up my pricier stuff on an almost everyday basis (up to 5x a week due to work). I wish the Rimmel ran a bit darker so that's out for me or anyone darker than like NC42. I will definitely check out Maybelline Superstay but seems i'll need to mix their Caramel with a little of Cocoa (Cocoa is the Superstay formula darkest shade) and they could run darker too but lucky for me they have shades I can work with. I like Revlon Colorstay (use Caramel for Oily/Combination) but you do have to blend fast but it comes out so runny even when you shake it up well.
ReplyDeleteGlad it helped you. I also enjoy the CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation for oily/oily combo skin. It is a primer, foundation and concealer in one along with an SPF of 20. The color selection may be better for you too so you don't have to mix it.
DeleteYep ELDW does it for me. Great foundation, my HG.
