It's mostly a matter of preference, though oily and acne-prone skin types may prefer mattifying formulas, whereas those with dry skin might appreciate a hydrating foundation that leaves a dewy glow. Drugstore foundations are available in matte, semi-matte, natural, dewy, satin, radiant, and luminous finishes. This is the sheen (or lack thereof) you're left with once everything is blended and dry. There are also many medium-coverage foundations as well as buildable formulas that allow you to add more until you reach the desired effect. "If the formula is good, the product should also ideally last all day," says Greenberg.ĭo you just want it to enhance and even out your skin tone? Lightweight coverage might be the way to go.

Do you want it to cover all imperfections and transform your complexion? Go with full coverage. If you're not sure where you lie, makeup artist Jo Levy says to go with neutral undertones, as they work with most skin tones.Ĭoverage is essentially how light or heavy you want your foundation to appear. "If they look blue, you're likely cool, but if they look green, you're probably warm! If it's somewhere in between, you're likely neutral." To find your undertone, Greenberg says to look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. Warm hues will look peachy and golden, cool tones lean pinkish-blue, and neutrals are somewhere in between. You'll also want to ensure the foundation matches your skin's undertones. If possible, look at the available shades on multiple screens (like your laptop and smartphone) to make sure your view isn't affected by a color filter. This can be tricky, but not impossible, to do online.
The most important thing when buying a drugstore foundation is getting the shade right. What to Look for in a Drugstore Foundation Shade In the end, we just wish this foundation came in more shades for deeper skin tones.Ĭoverage: Medium | Finish: Natural | Shades: 14 | Cruelty-Free: No The lightweight, non-greasy formula glides on like silk, blends beautifully, and leaves you with a natural-looking finish with fewer visible imperfections-extra points for the SPF 20 (although you should still wear a dedicated sunscreen you need SPF 30+ to be safe). Noting that "it literally melts into your skin," Frankel announced it's "officially favorite foundation, period, full stop." In one of her no-BS TikTok reviews, entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel said she "went to the drugstore and bought every single foundation they have." After trying them all, she named Healthy Skin the reigning champion. The brand's Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup is the best foundation not just at pharmacies but maybe across the board. And some of its products are even better than the high-end stuff. The first ingredient is talc, which is cheap filler and makes your wonder if the high price is justified.Neutrogena is kind of like the drugstore version of Clinique in that it embraces a pharmaceuticals-meets-cosmetics vibe.The claims of it being a “powder foundation” is misleading. Sleek compact and useful dual-sided sponge.Ĭons of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Compact Makeup:.Great for setting concealer and foundation.Good oil-control properties, keeps shine at bay all day.Does not cling onto or accentuate dry patches.Makes the skin have an air-brushed smoothness.Pros of Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Compact Makeup: This pressed powder has become my new HG setting powder. Overall, even though this powder is super duper expensive (the same price as the liquid foundation), I still can’t help but love it to pieces. It does prolong the wear of my makeup considerably. Whenever I have used this powder to set my concealer and face, there is very little shine by the end of the day. Staying Power: This powder has very good oil-controlling ability. It builds the coverage of my BB/CC cream by just a tad bit. It not only sets my creamy products and takes away any shine, but gives my skin an air-brushed finish. Look and Feel on skin: I use this powder to set my concealer as well as my foundation and I must say I am absolutely in love with how this powder makes my skin look.
At best, it can be used as a setting powder over a layer of foundation or BB/CC cream and that is the way I prefer using this product. Even by packing it on, as I have tried using a buffer brush ( Wayne Goss brush 13), it still does not build up. This product offers very sheer coverage hence cannot be used by itself as a foundation unless you have perfect skin and nothing to cover. It does not feel chalky and has a silky feel to it.Ĭoverage: Though this product is named a powder foundation, I find that to be completely misleading. It feels like a true powder which is not surprising since the first ingredient is talc. Texture: This is a very smooth, finely milled powder.
