Budget foundation for problem skin

A high-quality foundation not only hides skin defects, but also has a healing effect. If you choose the wrong cream, you can worsen the situation. Therefore, girls with inflammation, acne and blackheads should choose a foundation wisely and get acquainted with our rating of the best formulations.

When selecting participants, we were guided by the following parameters:

  1. natural composition (natural oils, plant extracts, amino acids and vitamins are welcome);
  2. the presence of harmful substances in the formula - silicone, aluminum, propylene glycol, talc and synthetic glycerin;
  3. color spectrum;
  4. possibility of regular use;
  5. presence of a pungent odor;
  6. Ease of use;
  7. duration of effect.

High cost does not always mean ideal quality. When purchasing an expensive product, the consumer may pay most of the money for the brand itself. A suspiciously cheap foundation can harm the skin.

Therefore, you should not focus on the price of the product; it is better to pay attention to the composition and customer reviews. All important information is reflected in the rating of quality products designed specifically for skin with scars, excessive oiliness, redness and acne.

The foundation is oil-free for the look of healthy, glowing, flawless skin. Contains vitamins A and C, grape extract and wheat germ to keep skin healthy and protected from environmental damage.

So you don't have to look any further, we've rounded up the most long-lasting budget foundations that are perfect for oily skin. They mattify and moisturize at the same time, masking pores without clogging them. And most importantly, they are all cheaper than 300 UAH.

Finding the right foundation for oily skin, especially a budget-friendly one, can be a real challenge. Either your product “floats” from your face during the day, or it “sits” like a mask and emphasizes all the roughness and large pores. And many oxidize and turn yellow an hour after application. And even expensive products are guilty of this.

But don't lose hope! You can find an affordable foundation that will hide imperfections without clogging pores or mixing with sebum. Here are the favorites of many makeup artists and beauty bloggers.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation

The foundation has a light formula, spreads well over the skin and lasts for at least 8 hours. Even those with oily skin do not need to set the cream with powder immediately after application, as the product gives a matte finish. Does not clog pores, does not oxidize and does not create a mask effect on the face. The downside is that there are few shades in the line, but they adapt to your skin tone.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25h Foundation

Kim Kardashian's makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic wrote on his social networks that he most often uses a mixture of two foundations for the reality star's makeup. One of which is always Rimmel Lasting Finish 25h Foundation. This foundation, according to the makeup artist, is very long-lasting and helps control sebum production. In addition, the foundation contains vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, which moisturize the skin. And the main thing why Mario uses this foundation on the TV star is that it does not oxidize, that is, it does not turn yellow. This is very important for those who are constantly in the spotlight.
