Now we all know that its a true struggle when we are looking for a foundation to match our skin. People often believe that foundations are used to make ones skin look FAIR! This is a myth! Foundation is basically used for creating an even skin tone all across your face and neck, this all helps in covering acne spots,dark spots, or uneven skin tones which most of us have.Foundations are a base for making your makeup stand out you can either look o lala! with it or you can look ewww with it. Foundations start from a range of SAR 30 and so on... Remember never compromise when it comes to your skin...and makeup is an investment.
1. Oily Skin
For this type of skin i would recommend to stay away from anything which says "dewy" or "illuminating"
as these things make your skin look shiny which is not good when your skin already has shine. Instead go for "matte" look. My personal favorite is from Sephora its called 10hr perfecting foundation. Its so amazing i cant even describe! This stuff really lasts a long way and photographs perfectly. This can be found in any sephora and is for SAR 99. This is also a full coverage foundation.

2. Dry Skin
If you are dealing with some dry areas on your skin, lets say your forehead and your nose. You don't want anything "matte" as it will enhance your dry areas. Instead go for something like the bourjois healthy mix, its a perfect combination of full coverage plus it will help in treating your dryness. This can be found in center point or any other store selling bourjois products and this comes for SAR 66 in offer and without that its for SAR 80 i believe.This is also a full coverage foundation.
3. Combination skin type
If you are someone like me who has some patches on face as dry as the Sahara dessert and some patches are really oily, then i will recommend my all time favorite maybelline dream liquid mousse. This stuff stays true to its words. It photographs amazing in pictures. This is a light to medium coverage foundation. You can again find this in city max or centre point for SAR 55.
4. Something EXCLUSIVE
I recently came across on a budget friendly foundation and it was a love at first sight <3. Yes, I'm talking about the "fit me" line from maybelline. Not only is this stuff amazing and it glides on your skin like a dream but it is also really cheap and the variety of colors they have is mind blowing! There is a color for almost everyone!
I personally love the stick fit me foundation a lot when i was in school, its such a cheap and fuss free product that we just need our fingers and its good to go! I got mine in a 20% offer from maybelline for SAR 30 its originally for SAR 55
PS; A foundation i would NEVER recommend to spend on, is the BODY SHOP Extra virgin foundation which is worth SAR 100. This foundation is a pain!! It breaks me out everytime i wear it and looks horrible in photos. :(
I hope this post was helpful to you all and i wish you find your soul foundation soon ;)
