Drugstore foundation

32 replies

I'm getting married a week today (🎉) and I'm looking for a good drugstore foundation for the big day.

I'm super pale and my skin is mostly alright, occasional spots and redness at my nose/cheeks but is overall fine. I think my skin type is normal/dry.

Any recommendations? I've heard Nars Sheer Glow is good but looking for any other recommendations too as it's really expensive to buy and then not use or like!

Ideally looking for something full coverage/buildable as I want my skin to look fab in pictures Grin

I like Revlon colorstay as a budget foundation but the L'oreal infallible freshwear someone recommended above is even better. It's better than a lot of high-end formulation wise, the only problem is I can't find great colour match. It's medium-full coverage and long lasting but unlike the Revlon, it's a satin finish rather than matte

For super pale, look at NYX. Their palest colours are pretty much varying tones of white. Think of magnolia paint pale, but they also do it with pink or neutral undertones that are just as light.

This is my issue with it - can’t get a bloody colour match - the fairer shades are all WAY too pink. It also sat really nicely on my skin for ages then something changed and now it falls off 😖

Not long now @babachic

Are you very excited ? All in order ? Did you find a good foundation ?

@user911 can't believe how quickly it's coming!

I went for Revlon colourstay, but have saved a list of most of the other recommendations to come back to when needed!

Got my nails done today, picked up the cake yesterday and everything is all packed and sorted by the door ready to go tomorrow (we're staying over the night before)

so excited Grin
