It has 14 shades to choose from, so finding your match should be easy peasy in this line. The foundation claims to have blurring micro-powders that minimize the appearance of pores and gives you a natural, matte finish. Moreover, it controls oil and stays on for 4-5 hours.

Best applied with: A beauty blender. This foundation has a creamy, thick consistency. Applying this with a brush tends to make it look streaky. A damp foundation sponge is the best way to get an airbrushed, seamless effect with this one.

- Oil-free
- Medium coverage
- Photographs well
Cons:
- No pump, dispensing the right amount of product gets very messy

L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24h Foundation
The L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24h Foundation is a great 9-5 foundation for those of you who are always on the go. Apply this and you’re set to slay the work day. It has medium to full coverage, and a powder matte finish. The foundation doesn’t dry out your skin and won’t cling to any dry patches. You don’t necessarily need to set this one as it dries to a powder matte finish. However, you should make sure you moisturise your skin well to avoid cakiness. It costs Rs 1,400 and if you grab it while it’s on sale, you can pick it up for anywhere between Rs 900 and Rs 1200. It has 10 shades in total, so finding an exact colour match in this one may be a bit tricky.
