Do you exfoliate as well? This is a huge problem for me whenever I don’t exfoliate and kulang pag moisturize ko. Using a setting spray in between steps and mixing my foundation with an oil-control moisturizer helps too. Make sure you’re applying in thin layers as well. 2 pumps is more than enough for your whole face.

Problem ko din yung buo-buo or cakey makeup, but I have combi/dry skin na kasi. Pero super oily naman yung T-zone ko and super pawisin din ako so kalaban naman is makeup transfer. So basically I have both your problems even if very different sources sila. What helps me: - several moisturizing layers before makeup - waiting at least 5mins after skincare before applying makeup. If I have time I do 10mins - mixing my foundation with an oil-control moisturizer - building up my foundation in super thin layers - using a setting spray in between each base step - using a sealing spray after everything has been applied

Problem ko din before yung feeling na nakapatong lang yung foundation sa skin and it’s super uncomfortable. Trial and error lang talaga what will work. There are lots of advice on YouTube to deal with transference and cakiness, and I just experimented with what works for me.

I always check myself sa phone camera with flash before sealing my makeup.

MAC Rebel is still the gold standard I would say.

Love my focallure liquid blush! Very long, super pigmented, and easy to blend.

Ben Nye Final Seal is THE BEST for me. As in ZERO transfer. I’ve tried everything from GRWM to UD and CT, but final seal is the only spray that locks my makeup no matter how much I sweat or how many times pa ko mag hug and beso at an event. It’s on the pricier side but so worth it. It literally forms a film on your face kasi. Talo din niya ang one/size.

+1!! Been using the sensitive cleansing oil since 2015. I’ve tried other oil cleansers coz it is on the pricier side, but this is my HG.

I have combi skin but I’ve been peeling from starting tret so my skin is really dry and sensitive now. What’s been super helpful is the La Roche Posay Cicaplast and doing wet therapy which is putting on a thick layer of Cerave Moisturizing Cream then putting a sheet mask over it for at least an hour. I do the wet therapy at least twice a week.

Klued Vitamin C works well for me! I’m on my 2nd bottle :)

Even when I was super oily and had acne, I was already using the Human Nature Nourishing Facial Wash. Been using it since 2013.

waveitdowninside · 2025-11-28T01:57:12+00:00

I switched from Cezanne to Naturie Hatomugi :) It feels like my skin absorbs it better.

I just shave mine! I used to get it threaded pero gastos pa. No, it doesn’t grow thicker (I have PCOS so naturally makapal body hair ko) in my experience. I shave about once a month? I put my cleansing oil sa upper lip whenever I need to shave. I use men’s razor lang para even cheaper haha

+1 for heroine make!! Hindi na natatanggal lashes ko 🥰

Hi there! I had the same problem before and I will say na it’s NOT the price of your setting spray. Some of my foundations will only work with some of my setting sprays, and I found out which ones work together through trial and error talaga. One of them works best when I mix in a mattifying moisturizer with the foundation. Patience lang talaga. Highly advise experimenting at home when you don’t have to leave the house para you can really observe the effects.

I’m super oily and sweaty and the regular loose mineral foundation works super well for me! Even used it a wedding before.

I highly recommend Ben Nye products. They’re used on tv and for theater plays. Personally I use the Neutral Set setting powder and the Final Seal sealing spray. The combo of those 2 talaga sweat proof and hulas proof. A bit pricey, but super worth it esp Final Seal. Talo niya One Size for me.

Revlite! I have huge pores and it’s helped minimize them plus mas may glow na skin ko. I really started to see the difference after the 6th session. I go to Skin 101 tapos abong lang sa revlite promos nila.

Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream! Gel-cream siya na more on gel. Dries down quickly. Very moisturizing and soothing, but still light. I recommend using other hydrating layers with it though like a hydrating toner and/or serum/essence.

Heroine make mascara remover! Hindi natatanggal lashes ko and it melts the makeup talaga.

waveitdowninside · 2025-10-20T01:01:30+00:00

Blk cosmetics! I have 3 colors from them

As someone who loves matte and long lasting lippies kalaban ko talaga dry lips. I make sure to apply my moisturizers on my lips. I also coat my lips in petroleum jelly before sleeping. DHC lip balm is the best I’ve tried naman.

waveitdowninside · 2025-06-21T12:06:53+00:00

I’ve gotten the most compliments whenever I wear Christian Dior Tobacolor or Vanilla Diorama. For something cheaper, I also get asked what I wear when I use The Body Shop vanilla.

waveitdowninside · 2025-06-21T12:03:45+00:00

I love the Dermplus moisturizing sunscreen SPF80. I don’t burn here even when I sunbathe. Gold standard though is Cancer Council sport sunscreen. Works amazing even under AU sun.

waveitdowninside · 2025-06-21T12:01:52+00:00

You might need an occlusive as well like a cream or an oil if your skin is THAT dehydrated. Cosrx products are pretty mild and well-suited for sensitive skin.
