Some of these foundations might cost over $10 at certain stores, but they can still be found for under $10 at a handful of places. I’ll only list the stores that carry them for under $10.

My skin is extremely dry. I need something hydrating, I hate powdering because it will make it more dry. But after a couple of hours, my nose gets very oily. And then around 9 hours later. It’s all gone. I need a foundation that’ll last me all day. I have an extremely busy schedule. Please let me know if you know good foundations for me.
