Hey beauties. I am looking for foundations that fit my color but are also affordable. I've tried some that dry too quickly and some that are sticky and don't spread. I'm very young but decided to be a makeup artist in the future and wanted to start at a young age, so I don't have a lot of money, but enough to buy makeup. 😂 Please help!!

I have and oily t-zone and the rest of my face is regular. I'm looking for a matte finish with medium coverage because I don't want it to be heavy OR too light.

The L'orèal true match superblendable foundation works pretty good for oily skin and offers a medium coverage. It doesn't dry too quickly and doesn't feel sticky.

There are lots of shades and undertones.
I'm a medium shade as well and use the shade W4 Natural Beige for reference.
W4.5 Fresh Beige, W6 are also good yellow toned medium shades.

They also have neutral or pink undertone options

It's not a foundation but Garnier BB cream for combo/oily skin may be a good option for you. It has almost medium coverage, demi-matte finish IMO and looks pretty natural.

Chi Chi has a great affordable foundation! It's really good and I do recommend it. The coverage is medium and it comes in many shade! I'm sure one for your skin colour 😊 I'm a lot like you because I'm young to and I love makeup but don't have that much money. The Chi Chi foundation was the first foundation I bought! I think it's around the $20 - $30 dollars but it depends what country your in! If you do have s bit more money then $20-$30 and you can't buy the Chi Chi foundation, then I also have the MAC foundation it's kinda expensive, it's a lot like the Chi Chi one them two are basically the same I really don't spot a difference! They are both really blend able and spread well with any foundation brush you have!! Hope this helps 😊
