As we all know, foundation varieties available in the market today are almost as unique and limitless as a fingerprint. This is why one foundation which might be considered the holy grail by your best friend or mom might actually look terrible on your face. It’s important to find a foundation not just based on your shade needs but also on your skin type so that it fits your own skin’s balance like second nature. Here are some formulas available in Calyxta worth exploring.
FOR OILY SKIN
Oily skin needs a foundation that won’t slide off halfway through the day. The oils secreted by your skin have a tendency to lift some foundations right off, leaving you without any coverage before your day is done. Oily skin also has a tendency to make foundations become acidic.
Suggestions:
- Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation: This one-of-a-kind liquid-to-powder foundation formula soaks up oil, has buildable medium to full coverage, and provides a long-wearing, velvet-matte finish.
- L’Oreal Paris Mat Magique 12H Bright Mat Foundation: Loaded with natural powerful sebum absorbant Volcanic Perlite Complex, this foundation soaks up skin oil and shine for a long-lasting and shine-free face. Contains SPF 11 PA++
FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Sensitive skin gets irritated with the slightest added ingredient. It’s also frustrating to feel that your skin is getting worse with wear so if your foundation is making you break out, ditch it. Here are some options worth exploring.

Enriched with white truffle extract to keep the skin moisture balanced. It’s also packaged in an airless container to make sure the product stays clean till the last drop.
