Best Foundations for Hot Humid Weather

Finding the perfect foundation that lasts in hot humid weather is a STRUGGLE! These are my FAVORITE foundations of all time!

1. Estee Lauder Double Wear 

This is one of the more expensive high end foundations but it is totally worth it and it's probably my all time favorite. It is amazing. I would say it's medium to high coverage. Works great on oily/combo skin and it sets in a subtle velvet/satin finish with some dewiness, which I love.

 Also it is super long lasting and doesn't budge or oxidize in a weird color - which a lot of foundations tend to do. However, this is not going to be your everyday foundation. It's definitely something you would reach for, for a special occasion. Best part is unlike most foundations, this has a ton of shades to choose from especially if                                                           you have yellow undertones.
                                                      One word - LOVE.


2. Revlon Colorstay 24Hr Foundation 

This is probably  the best drugstore foundation I've ever used which is perfect for oily skin in humid weather. It's long lasting and doesn't budge. It comes in two types - Normal/Dry and Oily/Combo. It is medium in coverage and definitely buildable. I have combination skin and surprisingly this set a bit too dry for my liking. (maybe should've gone for the normal skin range). This too has quite a bit of shades and a good amount of shades for those with yellow undertones.
This is one of my favorite everyday foundations especially if you're going to be out all day. It's very similar to Mac in my opinion, as far as coverage and lasting power is concerned but this is definitely the winner considering the price.


3. Maybelline Fit Me

This I would say is my everyday go to foundation. Although I don't believe it's designed for oily/combo skin, I love how it sets in a dewy manner. It's medium and buildable in coverage. It's probably one of the best drugstore foundations for those with dry or normal skin. Because I have combo skin, I don't find this very long lasting especially if I'm going to be out all day. However compared to the Revlon, I love how it sets in a dewy way which is what I like in an everyday foundation. If you have oily/combo skin this foundation is best if you're going out for dinner,lunch etc.. for a few hours.
Another good thing is it doesn't oxidize and make you look white or ashy. Like the previous foundations this too has a good amount of shades for those with red and yellow undertones.
The only issue is that it doesn't stay too well that long, and does tend to make you oily after a few hours. I'm dying to try the Fit Me Matte + Poreless - which would probably be a better option for me.

What's available in Sri Lanka....

There really isnt' a variety of good foundations in Sri Lanka. But if I have to pick a few it would be the following. 

• Revlon 16hr Foundation (available in Beautydrome ,Cool planet and most other places with the Revlon counter). This too is a good everyday foundation for those with any skin type. A little pricier compared to the other products available in the sri lanka, but definitely one of the better ones.
• Essence Soft Touch Mousse Make up - Very affordable (priced at LKR 925 I believe). It sets in a very nice and satin finish but it really does not last very long. It's probably best for those with dry/normal skin. 
• Kryolan - This is a professional brand. Personally I don't own any but this is what most make up artists  in Sri lanka use, especially for brides. It's one of the better brands available to suit Sri lanka skin and that is very long lasting.
