Trust me when I say this, no one loves a good satin-matte finish foundation as much as I do. If I had a penny for every time I had to use foundation to cover the evidence of my late-night Netflix marathons and binge eating, I could finally afford that trip to Provence that I’ve always been dreaming of. The kind of foundation you use can really make or break your makeup look. A good quality foundation can make your skin look even, dewy and flawless. However, the only downside to them is their exorbitant prices! If you don’t want to take a small loan every time you go makeup shopping, then have a look at these affordable foundations:

1. L’Oreal Paris, Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation, INR 750/-

5. SUGAR, Ace Of Face Foundation Stick, INR 999/-

Say hello to convenience and fantastic results thanks to this stick foundation. I was always very sceptical to use a stick foundation because I thought it would result in cakey skin and it would be a nightmare to blend. However, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This foundation stick is creamy, lightweight and super convenient! Besides the fact that this foundation is affordable, what I love about it is that I don’t have to worry about it leaking in my bag. So it’s a win-win, amirite?
