Ladies, and ladies with oily skin, we have some great news! In this post are 5 of the best foundations for oily skin in Nigeria that you can buy. You know how your skin gets oily and starts to almost drip after a day of wearing foundation? We can almost guarantee that these foundations won’t let you down (or drip off your face). How do we know?
Yesterday one of our favourite beauty gals – Dimma Umeh – shared her top 5 affordable foundations for oily skin. Being a makeup lover with oily skin, Dimma has had her fair share of foundation experiences. So, when she announced that she had made this video, we knew it was worth a listen. And thankfully, all her suggestions are drugstore brands available in Nigeria. Yay!
Without further ado, here are the best foundations for oily skin in Nigeria.
1. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
This is by far Dimma’s favourite drugstore foundation for oily skin. According to her, it is great at controlling oil and dries from mousse to powder. We like what we’re hearing already. Besides the fact that it comes in limited shades, so you might have to mix, it sounds like a good one to try today.
If you like what you’re hearing, you can buy this foundation here for N2,830.
2. NYX Total Control Drop Foundation
Second on her fave list is this drop foundation from NYX. Dimma recommends this foundation because of its long-wearability and oil control. It gives medium to full coverage so you can build it up to your prefered slayage level.
Shop this wonder foundation at GlamBeautyJay.com for N7,500.
3. NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Foundation
If you’re looking for another foundation with a great matte finish, you should check out this NYX foundation. Appropriately named ‘Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop‘, this foundation was designed for the long haul. It does a great job at keeping oil at bay, especially when paired with a good setting powder and primer.
Get your hands on it by shopping at TheBeautyEspacio.com for N9,500.
4. Maybelline Fit Me Matte-Wear Foundation
Another great foundation for oily skin is this superstar by Maybelline. According to Dimma, it gives medium coverage and is really long wear. We have used this foundation and we can definitely vouch for this one.
Get one for yourself today. Shop it at TheBPShop.com for N4,800.
5. MaryKay TimeWise Matte-Wear Liquid Foundation
Chances are that you feel MaryKay products are not great. And this is probably because there are so many fakes. But getting your hands on an original TimeWise Matte-Wear Liquid Foundation will do wonders for your oily skin. It really controls oil and lasts pretty well.
