So, I have still been on the hunt for a good drugstore foundation. The struggle is finding a product that works well for my oily skin and has a good color match for women of color. Milani is a popular brand with many women of color friendly products. Recently, they have released their 2 in 1 foundation that works as concealer and foundation.
The line comes with 14 liquid foundation shades and 9 powder foundation shades. I am impressed with the color tones especially for the women of color...not too yellow or pink. I chose the color number 13 Chestnut, the second to darkest shade, and it is a perfect match. The foundation comes with a pump. The product is a more of a watery consistency, so be gentle when pumping the product. I used a beauty blender for application, and the foundation blended wonderfully. The foundation set to semi-matte finish.
The chose the darkest shade, 08 Warm Toffee, in the Even Touch Powder foundation and it's a good color match for my skin tone. I purchased the powder foundation solely to set my liquid foundation. The Milani website states that this powder can toggle between a setting powder and touch-up powder. The powder adds good coverage and creates more of a matte finish in combination with the liquid foundation. I prefer this finish over the semi-matte due to the oiliness of my skin. The final look wore well for 6 six hours without shine.
Both products retails for approximately 9.99 USD depending on where you purchase the product. Due to my demographic location, I was not able to find any of the women of color shades in my local drugstores. I purchased my products directly from the Milani website.
Overall, I am impressed with quality, longevity, and coverage of this foundation. I think that it is definitely one worth a try. Have you tried this foundation? What's your favorite drugstore foundation? Stay FABULOUS!
