This combines the characteristics of liquid foundation and loose powder. You can use it as a dry powder, or dampen the sponge before applying it to your face. Compared to liquid foundation, two-way cake is a lot easier to control for make-up beginners. Always choose a colour that matches your skin tone. Apply foundation on cleansed and moisturised skin. Wash the sponge regularly and keep it dry.
Clinique Stay True powder make-up SPF 15 (oil control) ($265)
It's very soft, smooth and fragrance free. The natural colour gives your complexion an even tone.
No 7 Fine Focus foundation (oil control/ sweat control) (around $160)
It's quite dry and doesn't have much staying power. But if you apply it with a damp sponge over moisturiser, you get much better coverage. The pocket-sized packaging makes it convenient for touch-ups
