My Top 3 Drugstore Foundation Picks

August 11, 2017 Randi 1 Comment

Let’s face it.  Literally.  Shopping for foundation can be a challenge. Unlike lipstick or eyeshadow, you can’t just waltz down the beauty aisle, spot a foundation you think looks pretty, and hope for the best.  Will this formula work for me?  Which shade will match?  It can definitely be a process.  And, shopping for foundation in the drugstore can be even more difficult as testers are usually non-existent.  It's nice to go to Sephora or a department store and take your time and be color matched.  But sometimes, you need a more wallet-friendly option that you can find on the shelves of your local drugstore.  Here are 3 that I’ve purchased time and time again, and can definitely recommend!

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup

I almost always have a bottle of this foundation on hand.  It's silky texture provides a nice medium/medium-full coverage.  It has SPF 20, with the main sunscreen ingredient being 6.6% Titanium Dioxide.  I've found it applies best with a brush or fingers.  Available in 14 shades, I love the nice, satin finish it gives my skin.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25H Foundation with Comfort Serum

Long name, but great product! This budget-friendly option is great when you need full coverage.  I'm not sure about the 25 hour wear claim, but it definitely holds up well throughout a normal day.  I'll often reach for it when I need some staying power and a more matte finish.  For application, I'll use a brush or beautyblender.  This foundation also has SPF 20 (7.8% Titanium Dioxide & 2.5% Octinoxate).  Only 7 shades are available, so finding a good match might be difficult.

L’Oréal True Match Lumi Cushion

This foundation from L'Oréal is hands down my favorite drugstore option.  When I first tried it, I was shocked at how beautiful my skin looked.  The description says “luminous” and it truly is.  With a light to medium coverage, it rivals most high-end foundations.  It's a pricier drugstore option, but worth the splurge if you are looking for a terrific foundation to grab on the go.  There is a nice range of 16 shades, and the cushion/compact packaging is convenient for travel.  A brush is my favorite way to apply it.

So, those are my picks for some of the best budget-friendly foundations.  Do you have a favorite drugstore foundation you love?  Comment and let me know!
