    My Favorite Daily Foundation

    My everyday foundation! It’s just enough coverage to hide my blemishes, but doesn’t make me look cakey. It’s light and lasts me throughout the day with no setting spray. I’ve been using this foundation for over 5 years, literally - and it’s still my absolute favorite daily foundation.

    .

    This is a nice foundation. It's not to bad for a drug store product . I notice that this foundation is build able which is a good thing and it also oxidizes.

    Pretty good

    This is not my favourite foundation, but overall I liked it and think it (mostly) delivered on what it promised. My two favourite things about it are the included SPF and the shade. Technically, we're supposed to wear SPF everyday to protect our skin, even when it's not sunny, but I rarely do, so having a low SPF added means that my skin is protected all year round and I'm a big fan of that.

    The shade is spot on. I'm ghost-pale and often the palest shade in a collection (ivory) is too dark and often too yellow-hued to suit my skin. I have cool undertones in my skin and this is the perfect shade, not too dark or too 'golden'.

    This is a medium-coverage foundation, but I was a little disappointed as I felt it covered flaws more at the rate of a 'light' foundation, but still felt heavy and thick like a medium-coverage. I prefer the light feeling and fluidity of a light foundation if it isn't going to cover more. It still did a good job covering the flaws, but I'd expect more from a medium coverage. I found it was quite thick and hard to blend compared to a light coverage foundation.

    I do have problems with my skin (which is combination and I wouldn't consider dry) suddenly showing up 'peely' parts after applying foundation. Some foundations are really bad with this, and some not so much and I found this was in the middle. Exfoliating beforehand definitely helps with this, but I think the thickness of this foundation definitely showed up some of the poor skin quality. It was still a step-up from many other foundations I've tried though.

    Despite some things I disliked, overall I'm happy with this foundation, although I prefer a lighter coverage in general, I felt the staying power and colour where both pretty good in this and I like the addition of SPF.

    great

    great drugstore foundation that gives a great coverage . Stays on for a long period of time if you put some setting powder. Usually with 2 pumps I can get my whole face covered . I love that there's a little spf in it which is great for the sunny days.

    One of my favourite drugstore foundations

    I have combination, dehydrated and acne prone skin. It is oilier in the summer and drier in the winter and I do have some post acne scarring. Finding a good foundation is difficult but this one surprised me. The colour range is pretty good and leans towards neutral cool shades which is nice. I’ve found most drugstore foundations oxidize and end up very orange but this doesn’t do either. It is the higher end of medium coverage but can be built up to full. I do find it needs a setting powder though but doesn’t make my skin oilier looking at all even without it. I would say this is a demi-matte finish but with powder is matte. I’ve worn it for long hours and it looks almost as good as when I first put it on. It also never looks cakey or settles badly into creases/fine lines. And it even has an SPF of 15 which is nice. It’s a little pricey for a drugstore foundation but a it lasts a few months at least so I can deal with that. I definitely recommend trying it. They also have a version for normal to dry skin.

    My favourite foundation!

    I have tried so many foundations so far searching for the one that would actually make my skin matte and last all day long, and this is the one and only so far! I have really oily skin and this product controls my face everyday all day long. Perfect and not extremely expencive. You really get what you pay for.

    Great foundation for a great price.

    I love this product because although many drugstore foundations tend to break me out because they are too oily, this is the perfect for my combination skin. It applies evenly and lasts all day!

    This is a fairly decent foundation with a light to medium coverage. It has an spf 15 to protect your skin from the sun, which is especially important if you're like me with fair skin.

    This is by far my favorite go to everyday drugstore foundation, it gives high coverage(covers acne/scars)without looking cakey or clinginging to dry patches. My only complaint would be the color selection, I have fair/light skin with warm yellow/olive undertones.

    I've been using this foundation for a little over two years now and I have purchased well over 4 bottles. I find for a mass foundation, it is still on the pricier end, but still a good alternative to the higher end foundations. It is a full coverage formula and dries with a satin finish. I usually set it with a powder, because I prefer a matte look, but you could get away with leaving it as is. I find that that it does oxidize a little, but I have very pale skin, and usually have this problem with even the lightest shades. I'm also unsure about how it works with Oily skin, but so far, not too shabby for dry :)

    My skin type: dry, sensitive
    My skin color: 110 Ivory (lightest shade)
    How It applies the best: with a damp beauty blender
