TOP 6 AFFORDABLE FOUNDATIONS FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

 

Hi my beauties!

I hope you guys are having a happy start of the week and wish you all have a great and happy week ahead.

Today’s blog is on my most favorite top six drugstore foundations for you guys. I wanted to make it a top five but there's one foundation that I just couldn't miss, so here's a top six. Now drugstore has a lot of price ranges out there. Some are super affordable foundation and then there are some mid-range foundations as well.



You will find a mix of both and not just that while picking up these foundations I did bear in mind different skin types. So, whether you are oily, combination or dry skin I am very hopeful that you will be able to find a foundation which will work very well on your skin type.

We are going to be talking about the consistencies, the longevity, how the foundation sits on the skin so on and so forth.

Now if you're new here make sure you're subscribed to my blog by submitting your email because that's how you're going to know every time I post a new blog. Do also follow me on my Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn account links are already mentioned on my page and now without further ado let's dive right into this blog.

1. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation


BUY NOW BUY NOW

The first foundation that I am going to talk about is super popular at the drugstore and it's quite likely that a lot of you already own this foundation and rightly so. What I am talking about is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Polish foundation and you have 18 shades option in this one.

The reason why this foundation is because I feel it is super-duper popular, it is very affordable for the quantity you get and you also get a mini size a smaller version in this foundation which also is something that I have.

I really like the consistency firstly the shade that I use is a warm nude 128. This is a perfect match for me. There are 18 different shades as I already told you in the beginning and the shade chart have the variety of shades that are also pretty decent for Indian skin. It's likely that you will find a shade for yourself.

In my opinion it surely isn't matte, on my skin it sits like a demi matte finish and has a very soft do to itself. If you do apply some sort of a strobe cream or a facial oil this gives a beautiful luminous kind of a finish and lasts for a fairly long time.  The consistency of the foundation is medium it's neither too runny nor too thick.

I personally like to blend out my foundations with a beauty sponge and I’ve always stuck to that. The beauty sponge that I really like is the one that has a flat bend like a flat side on one side and pointed on the other. So, pointed is for areas around your nose and underneath your eyes to blend out your concealer and then the other side is very good to pat out your foundations. These two together work really well for me.

This is a foundation which is definitely medium coverage, it's buildable but still it is medium coverage. I personally on a daily basis do not like foundations that are very heavy or full coverage because I personally like foundations in which my skin can show through and this looks super-duper natural. It has no flashback, looks great in photographs and camera. Overall a foundation that works for all skin types and something that I personally love and highly recommend.

Now when you will blend it on your skin you will see its luminosity and blends out like a dream. Even if you are someone who's a beginner to makeup this is the kind of foundation I highly recommend because if you are someone who does not have a sponge or any sort of an applicator or a tool to blend out your foundation this blends out with your fingers also very easily.

2. Maybelline Super Stay Foundation


BUY NOW BUY NOW


The second drugstore foundation also quite popular is the Maybelline Super Stay Foundation. I am in the shade 220 natural beige. This has nine shades in it, firstly this bottle comes with a pump and so does the Maybelline Fit Me. Now thankfully I have to repurchase the fit me because I’ve used so many bottles of that. Coming back to this foundation it's a solid full coverage guys if you're looking for a good affordable full coverage foundation this definitely makes the cut.

This has great consistency neither too thick nor too thin it's in between and blends out really well as well. As I said I personally like to blend out all my foundations with a beauty sponge. This one in particular I have tried with a stippling brush, works fairly well, sits on the skin very well as well and lasts for a fairly long time without cracking and has no flashback.

The greatest part of the story is even besides being full coverage and it's buildable as well it does not sit in the lines in your smile lines or around the nose area right here. Overall, it gives a flawless finish, looks great if you are someone who likes to click pictures or on camera in general because like I said has no flashback.

The only con about this foundation at least on me is that it oxidizes a little bit. I think if you are someone who's looking for a good full coverage foundation, I highly recommend this but make sure that you're going for a little bit lighter color. In fact, I feel whatever your color may be in the Fit Me range the similar color is something that you can definitely pick up in this one as well.

Maybelline Super stay has a very beautiful satin finish, it's not super matte at least on my skin. If you're someone with oily skin type then this is a full coverage foundation you definitely should try, if you are someone who's dry skin type make sure you hydrate your skin really well and that goes for any full coverage foundation that you're using just make sure that your skin is well hydrated.

Use some sort of a strobe cream or at least some sort of a facial oil so that the foundation doesn't cake and sits really well and for a longer time on your skin.

3. Nykaa Skin Shield Anti-Pollution Foundation


BUY NOW BUY NOW


Moving on to the third drugstore foundation what I have here for you is the Nykaa Skin Shield Anti-Pollution foundation. There are 15 shades in this range. When I bought this foundation, I have to be honest I did not have very high hopes. I just read the reviews and bought it but the foundation did surprise me pleasantly.

Firstly, it's medium to buildable coverage which is what I like. This is also the kind of foundation if you are someone like me who likes a little bit of light coverage and likes your skins to show through. This is the kind of foundation you are likely to love because this has a very soft satin on my skin, a sort of a luminosity it gives to my skin, a kind of a finish I personally really like. The formulation sits for a fairly long time.

There are two cons for me in this particular foundation number one is that it oxidizes a little bit. This particular shade warm nude is a tad bit dark for me however it doesn't turn gray so it's fine. It's something usable and like I said because I like the consistency which is medium, not too thick and I like the way it sits on the skin.

I do like to use this foundation quite a lot the other con is that although the foundation range has 15 different shades, the color chart is a little bit different and I feel it's a little bit hard to put your finger on the color that will go on your skin tone. So, if you are lucky enough to find your color in this range, I would highly recommend this foundation simply because of the consistency of the formula that you have here blends in beautifully.

Again, I use a beauty sponge to blend this out has a satin finish doesn't crack, doesn't cake on the skin, doesn't sit into your lines, settle into your lines and overall gives a very beautiful finish. Photographs fairly well as well has no flashback overall.

The Nykaa foundation is also something that will work for most skin types and since this is not super-duper matte has a fairly beautiful dewy sort of a finish. Even if you are dry skin, you are likely to appreciate this foundation quite a lot.

4. Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-in-o1 Foundation

BUY NOW BUY NOW

Moving on to our fourth foundation and this is a full coverage foundation from the drugstore in my opinion. This is the best solid coverage foundation that you have in the drugstore, a little bit mid-range but worth every single penny and is also one of my personal favorites. What I am talking about is the Milani Conceal and Perfect two-in-one foundation.

There are seven shades and the reason why I say this that it's worth every single penny is firstly this is the foundation that it photographs beautifully, looks great on the camera, it is a solid full coverage. Many a times I would not even use my concealer with this foundation. I would just go ahead and conceal with this so the name suggests it's a concealer and a foundation rightly so.

The other thing is I love how it sits on my skin, it has a little bit of a satin dewy finish and that's what I like about foundations. Even though it is a full coverage foundation it still is lightweight and your skin can breathe.  However, this is going to cover every damn thing, if you have a scar or you have any sort of hyperpigmentation this is the kind of foundation you can definitely go in for.

If you are a bride to be or you're looking for an occasional foundation for the festive season something that's a little bit more than the light coverage then this is something you can definitely go in for. Also, it doesn't sit in between the lines. The smile lines that i was referring to in the other foundations as well no flashback whatsoever.

In fact, I feel this is one of those foundations that photographs beautifully in my opinion and really has no con except a little bit of a strong chemically kind of a fragrance that this has but the moment you apply it on the face that also fades away. That's the only con I could pick up.

It comes with a pump so it's pretty easy to pump out the product and also it goes a little bit long way guys. Out of all the foundations that I’ve showed you this is the one that I use the least, so a little bit can be spread out. It beautifully works well with my beauty sponge and tried this for a more solid coverage of with a brush as well as stippling brush definitely that gives you a little more coverage. But I personally like I said prefer my beauty sponge with this one as well.

Again, a foundation that will work on all skin types if your dry skin make sure you hydrate your skin underneath. This I feel is especially meant for anyone who has problematic skin, you have acne scars, you have hyperpigmentation or if you have any sort of scarring this is definitely the kind of product you can invest in.

5. L.A Girl Pro Coverage Illuminating Liquid Foundation


BUY NOW BUY NOW

 Moving on to the fifth foundation from the drugstore what I have here is the L.A. Girl Pro Coverage HD illuminating foundation. There are 16 shades in this foundation and the shade chart is pretty decent as well so you are likely to find a color that will be suitable for your skin. The shade that I am in is nude beige. Firstly, this color is a perfect match for my skin, this is the kind of foundation that I personally absolutely adore simply because I love foundations that give that illuminating sort of a dewy finish to your skin, a glow from within kind of a finish.

This is super-duper dewy if you are dry skin, you will love this foundation. The only thing is if you're looking for high coverage then let me tell you this is not high coverage but it's definitely medium to buildable coverage for me. I personally like foundations in which my skin can show through and foundations that look like second skin this is exactly that guys.

A beautiful foundation and it's worth every single penny in my opinion. In winters this is the kind of foundation for my combination skin that is a dream come true. I don't have to use any sort of facial oil, any sort of stroke cream I can go in with this straight away, it's like a strobe cream mixed in foundation for my combination skin.

For dry skin also honestly, I feel if you put some sort of a very light moisturizer this is the kind of foundation that will definitely not dry your skin and if your oily skin, I would say skip it because this is likely to break on your skin or maybe not last as long. Even for my combination skin I do have to set this foundation specifically on my t-zone only in summers, in winters it works perfectly all right and is also fairly long lasting.

Now this foundation is a little bit runny in the consistency and it blends out like a dream and you will see it is extremely beautiful in terms of the texture. But like I said if your oily skin this may be a way bit too much for your skin to handle.

It is something I personally really like and appreciate. One another reason why I like the L.A. Girl Foundation is that it comes in a pump. I personally really find it very hygienic to use. Foundations that come in a pump, they are easy to dispense and you can control the amount that you want to take in one go.

6. Wet n wild Photo Focus foundation



BUY NOW BUY NOW

Moving on to the sixth foundation and also, the last foundation for this blog. This is the foundation that I was a little bit confused about whether or not to add to this list but I eventually did. Looking at the price, the quantity and also the quality that you get here from the drugstore what I am talking about is the Wet and wild Photo Focus foundation.

I am in the shade golden beige and there are seven shades in this range. Firstly, the color is a pretty decent match for my skin it is perfect for me in winters and a little bit light in summers. But I do bronze my face really well whenever I use it or I mix some of the darker foundations and then apply it on my face.

The consistency is a little bit thick therefore I highly recommend using a beauty sponge versus a brush for applying this. Now this is a solid full coverage guys but it is medium coverage as well so you can build it up and build it down as well. Simply because of the consistency of this product if you do one layer and you're good to go this is going to be a little bit more than medium coverage but you can definitely build it up to be a super full coverage foundation as well.

It is a super affordable foundation the reason why I say that because it is mostly on discount everywhere. I actually picked this up on discount. You get great quantity; the consistency of this foundation is way too thick. So, if you don't like very thick foundations then this may not be the foundation for you but overall does the job and spreads out fairly well with a beauty sponge.

I personally would highly recommend if you are someone who wants a high coverage go for Wet n Wild, if you are someone who likes medium coverage or something in which your skin can show through then go for Maybelline Fit Me and that's the reason why I put this in the list.

The other corn here other than the consistency which I find too thick is the fragrance. Now the fragrance is way bit too chemically if you know what I mean. It's like you're smelling something too chemically and it's a little bit too strong. The moment you apply it on your face it just obviously vanishes off it doesn't linger on the foundation.

Overall stays for a fairly long time as well doesn't crack, doesn't settle in your lines and overall a pretty decent foundation to have guys. Also, this has a little bit a very tiny bit of flashback when you're taking pictures but if you find the right shade for yourself, I feel overall this is the kind of full coverage foundation that can definitely work for you. Even though this is a thick foundation it spreads out really well. The finish also is not too matte, it's really nice beautiful and satin finish.

So, guys with that it's a wrap I really hope that you enjoyed reading this blog and were able to pick up a foundation for yourself. Until then I see you next in my new blog guys thank you so much for reading my blog love you all and don’t forget to love yourself.
