The best foundation for oily skin in Pakistan needs to control shine, resist breakdown in heat and humidity, and stay matte through the day. Here are the picks that actually hold up.
The picks for oily skin
- Kashees Even-Tone (around Rs.1,330): high coverage, matte finish — the event-grade pick.
- Huda FauxFilter (around Rs.1,260): demi-matte, long-wearing — the imported alternative.
- Fit Me matte + poreless (around Rs.1,411): the everyday matte option from Maybelline.
How to make it last on oily skin
- Prep: oil-controlling primer first — the Rose Berry Collagen Primer smooths and grips foundation.
- Apply thin: two light layers beat one heavy one — thin layers adhere better on oily skin.
- Set it: translucent powder through the T-zone; blot, do not rub, when shine appears.
- Skincare base: an oil-control toner under makeup helps — see best toner for oily skin.
What to avoid
Dewy foundations, heavy oils, and skipping primer — all three shorten wear on oily skin. And always remove makeup properly with a face wash for acne-prone skin — leftover foundation breeds breakouts.
