Top 5 Drugstore Foundations

As the name suggests I have for you today my top 5 drugstore foundations.

Now this is a little bit of a top 4 plus maybe number 6 on my list.

I'm missing the Revlon Colorstay foundation for oily/combination skin. A definite top 5 contender but I am all out at the moment and as you can see, have a few others to use up before I re-purchase.

So my number 1 fave at the moment would definitely be the Maybelline SuperStay 24HR Foundation.
My shade is Classic Ivory.
I would say a medium coverage but buildable to a full. Really creamy, easy to blend. Covers 90% of blemishes and pigmentation on my skin. I still need concealer and powder to cover the dark circles under my eyes, but I am yet to find anything that is a full blown miracle worker on those.

P.S! This foundation is currently 1/2 price at PRICELINE Right NOWS!! Normally $21.95AUD you can pick it up for $10.97AUD! Hurry though, sale ends Monday August 25th.

Second would be the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in the shade 100 Ivory. I love this one for the day time. It has teensy tiny little shimmery bits in it, which, when you look in the bottle you think. "Oh man, I'm going to look like I've had a fight with the illuminator" But really, they are hardly visible... Trust me, you will not look like Edward Cullen when your skin hits the sunlight...

It gives fairly decent coverage, but not too heavy. Smells pleasant enough. Contains SPF 15. Bonus! Just remember if you're going out for a night on the town, it may be wise to choose another foundation if you don't want to look like Casper the ghost in your flash photography.

Oh, also! Priceline has 25% off ALL Rimmel at the mo', so grab this baby for $14.96AUD instead of the regular $19.95AUD.

NEXT!

3rd place goes to the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation. Shade No53 Light Beige. I would call this a "Your Skin But Better" foundation. Smells really lovely (clearly bad at describing scents) but lovely is as good as you're going to get from me.
Again, a light to medium coverage, but definitely buildable. It claims to "leave you looking flawless for 16 hours". Not going to lie, not sure if I've ever had makeup on for that long before. No SPF in this one so a sunscreen underneath is a must. (unless you're a night owl)

Number 4 is another Maybelline must have, the Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation Stick. I have the shade 220.
I really enjoy this foundation, the fact i can just smear it over my face and blend in with my fingers or my Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki.
Feels quite oily when you first put it on but when you blend it out it dries to a powder/matt finish.

The one thing I love about the Maybelline Fit Me range is that once you find out what number you are closest to, you then just have to find the matching numbers in the concealer and powder and you have the perfect set! This also comes in a liquid foundation, but I'm yet to try.

Again, pick it up half price at Priceline until Monday peeps!

Which leaves me at the lucky last...  The Max Factor Pan Stik.
This baby is the super heavy duty bad boy you need for MAXIMUM coverage. I'm talking, goodbye freckles, goodbye redness. It really does cover a lot!

Being for normal/dry skin, I find this needs a powder to set my T-zone. Max factor do say it will leave you with a dewy finish but because I am a bit of an oily girl, I always go for a matt finish. Definitely needs a good buffing into the skin so you don't end up looking like you've got a face mask on but if you're looking for a really good cover up, this is a gem! Also smells like baby powder! Lovely!

Well, I hope you have found this a little bit useful and have maybe found another foundation you like the look of trying out.

Be sure to let me know if you have tried any of the above and also drop me a line and let me know of any others you think I should know about!
