ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin, Php825 (about $20)
ColorStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin comes in 20 shades. 150 Buff matches my skin perfectly. I'm one of those gals with different color face and neck so one of the reasons why I love this foundation is because it blends on smoothly leaving face and neck passably evened out. It also keeps my oilies at bay, my T-zone stays relatively matte longer, think 8 hours. I don't really do a full-coverage face so I keep it light or medium, depending on the state of my ginormous eye bags and I find that it's enough to even out my complexion, no need for concealers. It doesn't cake, or settle into fine lines. Sometimes, depending on application, it does settle into pores and it doesn't really do anything to minimize the appearance of them, but that's not really a deal-breaker. I have huge pores and I have long since made my peace with it and besides, that's what pore minimizers and HD powders are for, which I use before and after foundation. It does dry really quickly so I had to apply it by sections but the good thing is it doesn't rub off on clothes. My only gripe is it doesn't have a pump.

Colorstay Whipped Crème Makeup comes in 16 shades. I wear 150 Buff. It's a tinee tiny bit darker than the liquid ColorStay. It doesn't give me the same face and neck color when I first apply it but I find that it changes color, like the longer I have it on, the nearer match it gets to my skin tone, if that even makes sense, I don't know. It has a different consistency in that it's "whipped", souffle-like. It also keeps the oil under control but not as well because I find myself using blotting sheets once or twice during the day. It gives decent coverage, also doesn't cake, doesn't settle into fine lines. Pores? If my HG foundation does zilch to my pores, then I certainly would not expect this to do miracles. Not that it does, cause it really doesn't. It doesn't dry as quickly so I can do my entire face in one go. Still, no pump.

Finally, one that comes with a pump! It's funny though because out of the 3, I like this one the least. I wear 003 Shell. It's supposed to make you look good on photos, I guess that's what the tiny glitters are for, so you look like you're glowing.
No, I don't sparkle like Edward Cullen does on a sunny day. The sparkles are barely noticeable. It does however give off a white cast in photos. It's light coverage but it's buildable, although I don't put on a lot because it makes me look orange sometimes. It doesn't stay on as long and it makes my face oily 3 to 4 hours after application. That said, I still like this better than the other foundations I own. Anyway, when I first dabbled in makeup and cosmetics, I spent countless hours looking at reviews and swatches especially. And I still do. So I hope this helps.
