Foundation is the most important part of the makeup process because it’s the base of your look. Nowadays, the go-to foundation look is lightweight rather than “cakey”. The first step in looking for your perfect foundation is to pick a shade that matches your skin tone. Ultimately, this means that the color will disappear without having to be blended in.
I’m not going to lie, I do buy some products that are expensive name brands found in stores like Sephora, but those products usually last me a few months. I use foundation on a daily basis, therefore, I go through it faster than other products. It would be such a waste of money to drop $50 on a bottle of foundation every month.
My favorite drugstore foundation is L’oreal True Match. Starting with the packaging, the bottle is made out of glass, so it gives the product that sleek look. Once you open the bottle, you can feel the lightness of the product. Whether you use a beauty blender or your finger tips, it’s so easy to blend and leaves your skin looking and feeling silky smooth. Your face doesn’t feel heavy and it lasts all day! I wear this at work, school, and my nights out, and I’ve never had an issue with the lasting power! A little goes a long way – this foundation usually lasts me over a month and that’s pretty great for someone who uses it so frequently.
I buy this product from my local Walgreens or Walmart. It is around $11 at Walgreens and $7 at Walmart, which compared to other name brand foundations, is a steal! There are an abundance of shades to choose from starting with Porcelain and ending with Espresso. I love everything about this foundation! The satin finish really gives you that makeup expert look!
