The drugstore has really been upping its game in terms of makeup lately. You no longer have to spend outrageous prices just to get a decent foundation that doesn’t turn your face orange or get blotchy soon after applying! It goes without saying that everyone has different skin types as well as varied foundation preferences, so it may take a little bit of trial and error to find your holy grail foundation. But we’re here to help.
From full coverage to skin-like formulas, the drugstore has it all – and we’ve narrowed it down to the top seven worth trying. —Bailey Grant
L’Oréal True Match Foundation
L’Oreal’s True Match Foundation is a long-standing drugstore fave. The skincare-infused foundation was designed to enhance the natural glow of the skin while providing undetectable coverage. If you’re on the hunt for a no-fuss foundation with medium buildable coverage that looks natural on the skin, give this one a try! ($21.98)
Wet N Wild Photo Focus Dewy Foundation
Don’t sleep on Wet N Wild’s Photo Focus Foundation! It provides a natural finish while covering everything you want it to, from redness to imperfections. The foundation comes in two formulas: dewy and matte. So you can choose which finish suits you best depending on your skin type. Our only complaint is that it seems to be tricky to shop the entire shade range online. ($9.97)
Covergirl Clean Fresh Skin Tint Foundation
Covergirl has come a long way in terms of foundation formula over the years. Our favourite from the brand has to be its Clean Fresh Skin Tint Foundation. It’s infused with coconut milk and aloe extracts, leaving your skin looking hydrating and glowy, while you build up the coverage. Plus, it’s considered a clean beauty product with its vegan ingredients. ($9.99)
Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation
If you’re looking for high coverage on a budget, Milani’s Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation has you covered (literally). The two-in-one foundation combats the look of under-eye circles, redness, and imperfections with its full-coverage formula. It leaves the skin looking matte and flawless all day long. It’s even sweat and waterproof! ($17.49)
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation
The Fit Me Foundation line by Maybelline is a crowd-favourite for good reason. It features a lightweight formula, leaving behind an air-brushed, flawless finish. Its Matte version seems to be the overall preferred version, as it’s mattifying without being cakey. ($15.99)
Revlon Colorstay Longwear Foundation
For long-wearing, buildable coverage, try Revlon’s Colorstay Longwear Foundation. This is one of those foundations that feels (and looks) totally high-end, but with a drugstore price point. Ideal for day-to-day wear, the formula lasts up to 24 hours on the skin and features SPF 20. ($23.99)
E.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation
You can always trust e.l.f. to provide amazing makeup products on a budget. Its Soft Glam Satin Foundation is a newer product from the brand, and has quickly become beloved by many thanks to its smooth, soft-glam finish. From long days at work to an evening out dancing, this foundation will keep your skin smooth and covered. ($9.97
