Especially if your complexion leans towards the darker end of the spectrum, it can get even more trying.

We've scoured Amazon for 11 foundation makeup picks that are suited for Indian skin tones at affordable price points. Browse through their larger shade ranges as well and you can thank us the next time you wear your base makeup and it matches brilliantly.
