READER REQUESTS: Good Foundation for Mumbai weather

S.P. asks,
hi i love ur blog can u tel me a good foundation as lakme z showing dry skin on my nose...  i lv ur eyemakeup a lot. 
Also, lipgloss or lipstick nude in color having longlasting capacity. I live in mumbai so plz refer those products which r available in mumbai.

Hi sp...
For a good foundation, I recommend MAC Mineralize SPF 15 foundation. It is really good and gives a decent coverage as well. It is not at all drying and the best part is that you can easily find your shade in their huge range of shades.
It costs Rs.1800/-

Another foundation that I myself swear by is Maxfactor's Second Skin foundation. It is really hydrating and looks very natural.
It costs Rs.795/-

Regarding nude shades in lipsticks, I would suggest the following:
1. Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in Bare (it stays for about 8 hours)
3. MAC Lustre lipstick in Touch (it stays only for about an hour)
4. NYX Lippy in Frapaccino
5. Bharat & Dorris Cream Lipstick in Shade 138 (stays for about 6 hours)
6. Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in My Mahogany

Hope this helps!
