The right foundation depends on three things: how oily your skin gets by midday, how much you want to cover, and your shade. Price matters less than people expect. Our cheapest foundations cost Rs 450 and several of them are good choices for everyday wear.

Below are the foundations we sell from Emelie, Miss Rose and Christine, grouped by skin type, with prices and a short guide to finding a shade that matches wheatish and dusky skin.

Foundation prices in Pakistan compared

Emelie and Miss Rose foundation prices

Here are all the Emelie and Miss Rose foundations we have in stock, cheapest first. Most Emelie foundations cost Rs 949 or Rs 999. Christine shades and everything else are on our foundation page.

Best foundation for oily skin in Pakistan

If your forehead and nose shine by lunchtime, look for a foundation labelled oil-free or matte. Dewy and moisturising formulas add more shine on oily skin, especially from May to September.

• Miss Rose Oil Free Foundation, Rs 450. An oil-free liquid, and one of our cheapest foundations.
• Miss Rose Long Wear Foundation, Rs 450, for days when you can’t reapply.
• Emelie Professional Matte Foundation, Rs 999. A matte formula. Emelie makes it in 3 shades.
• Christine Oil Free Pan Cake, Rs 450. A pressed powder you can carry in a handbag and press on over a shiny T-zone.

Set any liquid foundation with a little loose or pressed powder on the T-zone. That does more for shine than switching to a more expensive foundation.

Best foundation for dry skin in Pakistan

Dry skin shows flakes around the nose and mouth under a matte foundation, and powder makes it worse. Use a liquid foundation with a moisturising formula, and put on moisturiser ten minutes before it.

• Miss Rose Moisturizing Flawless Liquid Foundation, 30 ml, Rs 750. It contains hyaluronic acid, which holds water in the skin.
• Emelie Wake Me Up Foundation, Rs 999. It has a dewy finish, so dry skin looks less flat.

Avoid pan cake and other powder foundations if your skin is dry. In winter, when most skin gets drier, people with combination skin often find the same is true for them.

Foundation for covering acne marks and pigmentation

An ordinary foundation evens out skin tone. For dark acne marks, pigmentation or under-eye circles you need a heavier cream base. Christine Derma X Camouflage Makeup Base costs Rs 1,200, and we stock it in 6 shades: CN Ivory, CN Oriental, CN W2, CN Tan, CN 38 and CN 45. Use a small amount only where you need it, and blend your usual foundation over the rest of your face.

Best foundation for weddings and functions

For a bridal or mehndi look that has to last through a long function, Emelie Derma Make Up Cover Foundation (Rs 1,149) and Emelie Double Wear & Maximum Cover Foundation (Rs 999) give more coverage than an everyday foundation. Both are matte and waterproof. Emelie lists SPF 15 for Derma Make Up Cover. Double Wear & Maximum Cover has SPF 25, and Emelie makes it in 5 shades.

How to choose your foundation shade

The most common foundation mistake is the shade. A foundation that is lighter than your skin turns grey or ashy on wheatish and dusky skin, and it shows most against your neck in photos. Pick the shade that matches your neck and jawline, not your cheeks.

1. Swatch two or three shades in a line along your jawline.
2. Check them in daylight, near a window. Shop lights make most shades look right.
3. Choose the shade that disappears into your skin. If two look close, take the slightly deeper one.
4. Look at the undertone. If your skin has a yellow or golden cast, shades marked W (warm), golden, beige or natural usually suit you. Pink-based shades marked C (cool) or rose tend to look pink or ashy on warm skin. Christine’s “CN” is part of the range name and doesn’t mean cool.

The Christine Pan Cake comes in 18 shades, which helps if you’re between shades in other brands. The shade numbers don’t run from light to dark (02 is Fair, 05 is Tan, 08 is Ivory and 18 is Natural Brown), so choose by the shade name and a swatch.

Buying online? Send us a daylight photo of your jawline on WhatsApp (0331 6040643) and we’ll suggest a shade before you order.

Liquid foundation or pan cake?

Liquid foundation looks more like skin and suits most people for daily wear. A pan cake is a pressed powder foundation. Use it dry for a light layer, or with a damp sponge for more coverage. Pan cakes work well on oily skin and are quick to touch up during the day. They look heavy on dry skin and settle into fine lines. If you’re not sure, start with a liquid.

Foundation FAQ

Which foundation is best in Pakistan?

It depends on your skin. For oily skin, Miss Rose Oil Free (Rs 450) or Emelie Professional Matte (Rs 999). For dry skin, Miss Rose Moisturizing Flawless (Rs 750) or Emelie Wake Me Up (Rs 999). For weddings and dark marks, Emelie Derma Make Up Cover (Rs 1,149) or Christine Derma X Camouflage Base (Rs 1,200).

Which foundation is best for oily skin in Pakistan?

An oil-free or matte liquid, set with powder. At Rs 450, Miss Rose Oil Free Foundation and Christine Oil Free Pan Cake are among the cheapest we stock. Emelie Professional Matte Foundation (Rs 999) gives more coverage.

How much does a good foundation cost in Pakistan?

Our foundations cost Rs 450 to Rs 1,200. Most Emelie foundations are Rs 949 to Rs 999, Miss Rose is Rs 450 to Rs 999, and Christine Pan Cake is Rs 450. Delivery is a flat Rs 250 anywhere in Pakistan and takes 2 to 5 working days after we confirm your order.

What is the difference between foundation and BB cream?

A BB cream is a tinted moisturiser with light coverage. It evens out skin tone but won’t hide dark marks. Foundation covers more, and you can build it up where you need it. Our BB cream guide compares the BB creams we sell.

Do I still need sunscreen if my foundation has SPF?

Yes. You would need a much thicker layer of foundation than anyone wears to get the SPF printed on the pack. Emelie Double Wear has SPF 10 and Christine Pan Cake has SPF 30. Wear a sunscreen under either one.

Can I return a foundation if the shade is wrong?

We accept returns within 3 days for unused items and for defective items, so keep the foundation unused in its box until you’re sure of the shade. Swatching the tester on your jawline, or sending us a daylight photo on WhatsApp first, saves you the trouble.
