Students embarking on the journey of a makeup routine often have a scary first time process of finding the right foundation. Between early morning classes, long study sessions and social activities, the ideal foundation needs to strike a careful balance, it should be affordable enough to fit into a student budget, gentle enough for young and often sensitive skin and reliable enough to last through busy days without constant touch-ups.
The problem is that a lot of foundations out there, though good at covering, can be really tough on skin. Heavy formulas can clog pores and lead to breakouts, and those containing alcohol or fragrances can be irritating, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin types. Students, according to many who spoke, are still honing their skin-care routines, require foundations that enhance their natural appearance rather than ruining their skin.
