Beauty Tips : My Top 5 Foundations For Oily Skin

Hi darlings,

I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I kinda did…not much happened though. So, over the weekend, I met some beautiful women and they all had the same question for me. The question was ‘what are the best foundations for oily skin?’. Oh yes! I gave them my best foundations for oily skin and thought why not share it with you too. I have used quite a lot of foundations in my line of work and I have come up with a list of my top 5 foundations for oily skin. In no particular order, here they are :

  • Revlon Color Stay Foundation For Oily/Combination Skin – Price is 3,700naira. It’s available for purchase here.
