Foundation Probs of an Acidic Girl (Solutions?)

Have you ever experienced an orangey or super pinkish face after an hour of putting on your foundation?

Girl, welcome to the club. You are ACIDIC.

This has been my dilemma eversince (the world begun).
I have super duper oily skin with yellow undertone so I always choose yellow based foundations.
BUT every friggin foundation I have tried turns orange or pink on me!
Which is soooooo frustrating. 😓


Here's an example:

These pictures were taken after I swatched my favorite drugstore foundations..

( Revlon Colorstay in Sand Beige - Milani Conceal Perfect 2in1 Foundation in 03 Light Beige - Loreal Infallible Pro Matte in 104 Golden Beige )

No flash

After an hour.. This is how they looked like.

They got pretty dark right? Milani is the one that oxidized the most (middle). Almost 2 colors darker na sya :(
Loreal Infallible, turned orangey. Then the Revlon Colorstay turned pinkish.

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. I HATE IT.

I HATE LOOKING LIKE AN OOMPA LOOMPA EVERYTIME I GO OUT. 😭

I HATE GETTING ORANGE STAINS ON MY SHIRT/BLOUSE. 😫

THE QUESTION IS, IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR THIS? 

I can share some tips to make these foundations work. Yes, you can still try and put some more effort to make it work. Kasi sayang ang pera diba?

* PRIME your face - Use a nice primer. Find your holy grail primer that will help on preventing the foundation to oxidize.

Here are some primers that I use:

• Banila Co Prime Primer in Matte
• 3W Clinic Collagen Makeup Base
• Skindinavia Primer
• Mehron Skin Prep Pro
• Milk of Magnesia

Remember, this is a trial and error. You really have to try them on so you'll know if it works on you because we all have different skin types. And every skin type reacts differently on some products.
It works on me but the foundation still oxidizes a bit. Priming also helps on controlling the oil which is better. Trying this step won't hurt!

* HIGHLIGHT - Use 1 or 2 shades lighter concealer to highlight certain parts of your face (under eye, bridge of the nose, forehead, and under your cheek contour). This will help on brightening your face and prevent the oompa loompa look.

* MIX - Mix your foundation with a lighter one. 

And last but not the least, when all else fails..

* BUY A NEW ONE - Haha! Right? Buy 1 or 2 shades lighter than your skin tone if you are super acidic like me. You'll look like a "mumu" at first, but girl, you gotta try! Hehehe it'll oxidize anyway. And pleaaaaase do not forget to blend the foundation down to your neck.. Please?


Joking aside, I hope my tips will help you my Acidic Girlfriends!
Let's just accept the fact that this will happen most of the time and we just gotta make it work.
