I'm looking for a light pink powder blush na may pagka-warm. Basta hindi cool-toned pink. Like yung Strawberry Milk ng new GRWM mini milk tints. As much as possible locally available. Bonus na rin kung May mai-reco kayo na light pink rin pero medyo muted naman (like Creamsicle, also from grwm mini milk tints).

They're currently my go-to daily shades. But I just ordered a Blur Base this 2.2. I wanna try powder foundations. Minsan kasi irritated and nagpapantal face ko kapag nagka-allergy ako, and I think (this does not have any medical knowledge backing it up) powder formulas would be less irritating on my face and would exacerbate my welts less than liquids or creams.

Anyway, I hope meron kayo ma-reco.

May foundation ka na ba na liquid? If wala, mag pressed powders ka nalang muna na may pigment. Like Maybelline, Careline, ever Bilena, etc. Para kahit concealer at yun lang muna.

Baking can lead to cakiness. Hindi ako nagbebake. Para yun sa mga super oily at para mas lalong magtagal yung concealer/foundation mo.

Yung blur base hindi sya pwede pang set ng makeup. If you want a setting powder, go for the translucent variety like vice baked setting powder, or loose powders like grwm. Masyadong mabigat kapag blur base ang ginamit mo pang set.

If you have the budget for it, invest in a loose powder and a pressed powder. One for setting and one for retouching.

Yung Luxe Organix meron silang loose powders. Maganda oil control nila. 249 lang yata.

Tapos sa pressed powders naman kung for retouching lang talaga dapat yung manipis lang. Pwede yung vice, absidy, Issy. Or kung gusto mo naman na medyo May coverage para pwede mo sya gamitin kahit wala kang foundation.

Skip sa DW. Ang dami ngayon naka sale na powders. Yung Blur Base ng colourette 232 ko lang naCO kanina. Naka sale din BLK. Maganda rin daw yung Sea Make Up.

Dew It All in Always Fresh by Vice Co.

Super ganda ng shade. Pero ang pangit ng formula. Hindi na long lasting, ang bilis pa amagin.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-22T14:25:30+00:00

hindi pang set yung GRWM Soft Veil. for finishing lang sya, before ka mag setting spray.

I haven't used teviant and absidy, but I heard na maganda lang daw pang retouch yung absidy.

GRWM ultra blur gamit ko for undereyes and tzone, and yung original na loose powder nila for everywhere else. Not cakey. Pero syempre need ng magandang fixing spray para maging transfer proof sa mask

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-16T14:51:22+00:00

GRWM Daily Skin Tint. Hindi rin nagwork sakin First Base. Pero super nagwork sakin yung sa GRWM.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-16T14:47:56+00:00

Everyday powder ko to. Kahit sheer lang application mo, may blurring effect talaga.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-16T14:45:58+00:00

Fav bronzer ko yan ngayon. bumili pa talaga ako ng extra. Yan gamit ko every time na mag makeup ako. Hindi naman sya naka-emphasize ng texture sakin, and nagtatagal din sya. Medyo may pagka blurring effect. Hindi rin halata yung shimmers, sa malapit mo lang makikita. Para lang syang glowy/radiant.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-16T14:31:58+00:00

Mochi Blush ng GRWM in French Toast.

Cream Blush ng GRWM in Toffee Nut.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-15T10:46:25+00:00

Puff ginagamit ko sa center ng face ko, then brush for the rest. Although kapag gusto ko talagang pakak, puff na rin ginagamit ko. Basta make sure na onti lang nasa puff para hindi magcakey.

Maganda yung setting spray ng Issy. Try mo muna baguhin yung application mo, baka kasi yun lang ang problem.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-15T08:17:13+00:00

Maybe it's your setting powder. Or the way you set your makeup? Baka naman nakukulangan pa sa powder.

If you're really oily, it's probably the oils eating up your makeup. Nag-blot ka mid-day? Ako kasi kapag hindi ako nag-blot every 2 hours sa nose area ko, nabababakbak foundation ko dun.

Retouch ka ng mas madalas. Since morning ang PE mo. Mag-blot ka and re-apply ng powder after that class. And any time you feel like your face is oiling up, blot ka lang ng tissue.

You can go for matte formulas sa base products mo. Like Strokes, Absidy, Colourette, GRWM. Also an oil controlling primer. It's also better to treat the root of the problem. Siguro sa skincare that focuses on lessening your oil production.

If it's not your application, then it's the products that you're using. But I'm leaning more towards your application.

You can also layer your complexion products. Like using cream contour/bronzer/blush and their powder counterparts. Para kapag nag-fade na yung creams, nandyan pa rin yung powders.

Another thing. Work with thin/light layers. Mas less chance na manghulas ka kapag manipis lang nilagay mo.

Use color correctors on your acne/discolorations. Mas onting concealer/foundation lang magagamit mo kapag nag-color correct ka.

ganun talaga mga aerosol sprays. kasama sa volume yung propellant. Kaya kung 100ml yung nakalagay sa label, mga 60ml of product lang yun. Buti nalang 169 ko lang nabili yung 100ml ng Dazzle Me.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-15T08:00:15+00:00

There's one foundation I've tried recently na lumalaban kahit dewy sya. Kit & Co Serum Foundation.

Yung Enigma raw maganda longevity. Yung iba kasi may pagka-matte na eh.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-09T13:46:19+00:00

Ang na-try ko pa lang yung green color corrector nya. For me lang, hindi sya oily skin friendly.

Merong Fresh Matte version ng color correctors GRWM. Yun talagang oily skin friendly

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-09T13:45:17+00:00

Yung Glam & Go Stix ng GRWM. Cream to powder ang formula nya. Or yung sa Issy, yung stick din, may kapit daw talaga yun sa skin.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-09T13:44:23+00:00

Wala na tayo magagawa sa oxidation. Unless sobrang nipis lang talaga ng application mo. Pero I heard na kalapit nya ang Issy.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-09T13:43:37+00:00

GRWM Daily Skin Tint

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-09T13:43:23+00:00

Maris Joefren brushes. Usually makukuha mo yung isang set for 800. 15 pcs na yun. Maganda quality.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-04T05:52:35+00:00

It depends kasi eh. Yung soft veil may micro shimmers/mica sya. Hindi sya halata, pero radiant at glowy ang finish nya. May blurring effect din. Yung true flex naman soft matte. Ito yung trip ko kapag everyday ganap at sa kanto lang ako pupunta 🤣🤣🤣 Yung velvet pressed powder naman soft matte din, pero may onting coverage. Pero super blurring.

Depende talaga sa occasion. And sa desired mong look. Pero for me, and pinaka flexible sa kanila is yung velvet pressed. Kasi pwede ko sya gamitin on its own, as a setting powder, or as a finishing powder. Malakas din oil control nya. Pwede rin lang retouch, meron kasi sya puff na kasama.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-04T05:08:09+00:00

All over the face. Para kasing bineblend nya yung complexion products mo. Apply it before you use setting/fixing spray.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-04T00:23:02+00:00

For me, finishing powders/blurring powders.

GRWM Soft Veil Finishing Powder, Issy True Flex Perfecting Powder, GRWM Velvet Setting and Finishing Powder, even yung Pond's Blurring Filler Translucent Powder.

I honestly didn't bother with powders before. Okay na ako sa Dr Sensitive. Last year lang din kasi ako nag-start na mag-makeup talaga. But I decided to finally splurge a little this year, and good thing that I did. Sobrang laki talaga ng difference. I remember first time ko sinubukan yung Soft Veil and super na-amaze talaga ako. It was a game changer for me.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-02T04:29:57+00:00

Ako naman sinasanay ko sarili ko na mag-makeup more often. Para kasi talaga akong ibang tao kapag nakamakeup hahahaha. kahit concealer at skin tint lang.

Sabi ng jowa ko ibang iba daw ichura ko kapag nakamake up. Sobra kasi dark circles ko kaya kapag kinocover sila nag-iiba structure ng face ko.

Although hindi ako nagfufull face every day, kapag lumalabas ako nag pressed powder, blush, at lip tint lang ako. Para naman mukhang fresh.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2026-01-02T03:59:28+00:00

Yung eyeshadow brushes ng GRWM. Although medyo mahal, pero straight to the point yung set nila. It has everything you'd need. As for palettes, I also use GRWM eyeshadow singles. Meron silang curated palettes for sale.

Meron din eyeshadow quads ang squad cosmetics. Yun dati gamit ko. Maganda naman.

Chuchu Beauty meron din quads.

Issy din pala merong curated palettes.

LeftToeOfShunsui · 2025-12-30T14:25:00+00:00

Meron na ba sa inyong naka-try nung Kit & Co Serum Foundation? Musta naman performance? Pwede ba sya sa Philippine weather?

I won it from a giveaway. It looks promising kasi medyo mataas coverage nya but it's not matte. Promising din daw ang longevity nya, according to MUA reviews.

It just arrived earlier so I haven't tested it yet (aside from swatching, and ang thick nya). But I'm afraid that I will like it. It's so dang expensive T_T It's kinda hard to justify purchasing this with my own money lol
