BEST DRUGSTORE MAKE-UP FOUNDATIONS

FOR LONG-LASTING FINISH:

1. Revlon Color Stay Foundation. It is a liquid foundation that dries on pretty quickly on the face so it has to be blended on as fast as you can. The make-up stays for 16 hours without caking on the skin. Set with powder to seal in the product for long-lasting finish. Over-all outcome is fresh, flawless and even application. Provides medium to full coverage depending on how much you layer it on your skin. Has huge variety of shades for every skin tone, and unique formula for dry or oily/combination skin. It is best applied using your bare fingers if you want fast and even blending. Wedge sponge is also a good applicator for this product, however; you may have a little bit of a difficulty using a foundation brush or stippling brush because again, it dries pretty fast.  It comes in a 30 ML bottle that has no pump so you have to carefully get the product out otherwise you may be spilling it all over the place. Available in all drugstores and supermarkets. 

2. Rimmel Long Lasting Finish Foundation.  Has a creamy formula in a tube that promises 25 hours of lasting finish. It  really does stay on your face for hours and hours looking naturally flawless despite of sweat, heat and humidity factors. It is advisable though to use powder to set this foundation so it remains matte and intact on the skin. Hydrating and has a very lightweight feel so your face looks naturally radiant. Offers full coverage of all imperfections and available in a variety of colours. Easier to be applied with a foundation or stippling brush, but of course,  your fingers are always the best make-up tool to blend any foundation in. It comes in a 30 ML tube--very convenient to carry on because the product is controlled by pinching the amount out of a small opening. Easy to use and reasonably priced. Available in all drugstores and supermarkets.

NATURAL LOOKING MAKE-UP

3. Maybelline  Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. Has a velvety feel that glides on smoothly on the skin once blended on thoroughly. Offers light to medium coverage that looks very natural. It would not completely hide your dark under eyes circles or your blemishes but what you'll get is a natural-looking even skin. It would not last all day but this is something that you wanna quickly apply on your skin in 30 seconds flat if you're just going to school or to the grocery store. Recommended for achieving a low-maintainance but fresh-looking make-up. It comes in a wide selection of shades and has 18 grams of product in a glass-twist container. Available in all drug stores and supermarkets. 

4. Revlon Photo Ready Make-up Foundation. It comes in a liquid form that has light diffusing properties  meant especially for taking flawless-looking make-up on photos. It aims to provide airbrushed finish that is good in any light. It offers medium to complete coverage depending on how many times you want to layer the product on. Set with powder to prevent it from melting down the rest of the day. Relatively long-lasting, good for parties that require a lot of taking good pictures. You must choose the colour wisely for it is kind of difficult to find the right shade with their selection. Oil free and fragrance free so it safe for those who have sensitive skin. A total of 30 ML in a bottle with a pump that is very convenient and economical. 

All in all,  I would suggest using a primer after applying a moisturizer and before applying the foundation. Your best bet for a reliable, non-greasy primer that is inexpensive but works magic is the -Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer. Has an ultra light formula that glides super smoothly that creates a matte matrix on your skin to prepare for over-all make-up application. Prevents the skin from getting slick and oily--holds the make-up together to last for hours and hours without budge. It is less than $10.00 and available at most drugstores and supermarkets--especially at Walmart. :)
