For the sake of finding *the most affordable foundation* that can survive sweat and shine, we tested three drugstore compacts for this edition of Cosmo.ph Beauty Wars.
Find out which one is the ~best~ among the three below:
Nichido Two-Way Cake in Natural
Price: P150
Where to buy: Watsons
What is it: A lightweight powder with a matte finish.
Commute and hot weather stress test: It disappeared from the face after a few hours, but the skin wasn’t left too oily. It's great for those who prefer light coverage foundations.
Shawill Perfect Powder Color Control in 03
Price: P168
Where to buy: Watsons
What is it: A cream foundation that covers discoloration (like pimples and dark circles) in one swipe and leaves a powdery finish.
Commute and hot weather stress test: It had the tendency to come off as a bit sticky once you get sweaty. We recommend this foundation to ladies with dry skin.
IN2IT UV Cover Perfect Two-Way Foundation SPF50 PA+++ in Warm Beige
Price: P500
Where to buy: Watsons
What is it: A water-resistant powder foundation that offers medium to heavy coverage.
Commute and hot weather stress test: It lives up to its promise of being waterproof: It stayed in place even when the girls were sweaty!
