Question Good drug store foundation recommendations?

i am sick of spending a small fortune on high-end foundations, and having them "not deliver". Has anyone tried a drug store liquid foundation that they really like, that has sheer to medium coverage (not full) and has a good range of colors, that tend to be more yellow based than pink????

Really looking forward to some replies!

Cass

Re: Good drug store foundation recommendations?

I've heard good things about Revlon and I recently read a good review of Rimmel's new liquid makup, however I haven't used either one because I prefer Mineral Makeup.

Nuetrogena's visibly even meets all those requirements and doesn't break you out.

Re: Good drug store foundation recommendations?

Generally, all of revlons foundations are great!! I would have recoommended colorstay but seeing as you don't want full coverage... i would have to say revlons age defying

Re: Good drug store foundation recommendations?

OK, looks like I will be heading to CVS to check out some Revlon foundations. Might even try the Colorstay, for days when my skin needs that extra coverage.

Keep 'em coming ladies! I can't wait to see if I find a drugstore brand that I fall in love with!

do you all apply the Colorstay with your hands or with a damp sponge?

I am thinking that if you want to lighten up the coverage a bit, a damp sponge might work nicely.

Re: Good drug store foundation recommendations?

I typically use my hands (both of them!!) Since I need more coverage than they typical "girl". Lol. But a sponge is a great idea and should work well..

Yeah! Now I just need to find the right color! I will be bringing my Laura Mercier foundation with me and just matching that up, since that color works well for me. I will let you all know how it goes.

Thanks for the recommendations

Re: Good drug store foundation recommendations?

Well, I tried the Colorstay and while I think it is better than most foundations, I dont think it is 100% for me. goes on a little heavy, so I think I might need to try the lighter version of their foundations, maybe the Age Defying that someone recommended?

Age Defying is quite a full coverage too.

Have heard good things about Best Cream Foundation: Cover Girl Aquasmooth. Anyone rec this?

I think its called cover girl aqua smooth, I like it in the summer for the short time i have a tan. LOL it dosnt come lite enough for my skin tone though. But its a good smooth coverage, and it doesnt feel like you have any on!

Re: Good drug store foundation recommendations?

I would try the L'Oreal True Match. I have used it in the past and was pretty impressed. I also tried Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse and I feel that it had good coverage but it felt like I was wearing a lot of make up. Looked good, but didn't feel great!
