Let's face it, there are tons of foundations available at the drugstore from all different price ranges. I have 7 drugstore foundations below that I have put to the test below.
There will be a mini review for each of them and what skin type they are best suited for, so if you're planning on picking one or more of these up then you can have a look and see which ones I think would be best suited to you :-)
1️⃣ Loreal Infallible 24H-Matte
Price: €12
Skin type: oily/ combination. Tends to cling to dry skin
Coverage: Medium to full, can be built up
Longevity: it dries matte so it doesn't tend to rub off easily. This is a good long wearing foundation.
Colour Selection: good, the lightest shade is perfect for pale Irish skin!
Recommend: yes, great colour selection for pale people, good for oily skin.
2️⃣ Rimmel Wake Me Up
Price: €11
Skin type: dry/oily/combination
Coverage: medium to full
Longevity: lasts all day, can transfer if you don't set it with a powder as it has a more dewy finish
Colour Selection: good, has very light shades, not too many darker shades in my area
Recommend: yes, great for all skin types, gives a great dewy finish that can be made matte with powder. However, it contains SPF 15 so tends to look white in flash photography!
3️⃣ Revlon Colour Stay
Price: €18
Skin type: oily/combination
Coverage: medium to seriously full!
Longevity: sticks to you like paint! Very long wearing
Colour Selection: good for pale colours, not so much darker shades
Recommend: yes, great coverage for blemish prone skin. Not for dry skin at all!
4️⃣ Loreal True Match
Price: €15
Skin type: dry/oily/combination
Coverage: medium to full
Longevity: lasts all day if set with a powder! Has a more dewy finish
Colour Selection: really good selection for both light and dark skin tones
Recommend: definitely, one of my favourites for all skin types. Also can be left dewy or mattified with a powered!
5️⃣ Maybelline Better Skin
Price: €14
Skin type: oily/combination
Coverage: medium to full
Longevity: lasts a good few hours on the skin but tends to cling to dry patches and look flakey
Colour Selection: comes in many light shades with few darker shades
Recommend: yes, for people with oily and/or blemish prone skin as this foundation claims to give you 'better skin' in 3 weeks. I didn't wear it for 3 weeks straight but it did help even out my skin tone when I wore it for a whole week :-)
Also contains SPF20 and does give the appearance of a white face with flash photography so keep that in mind.
6️⃣ Kubiss Natural Matt Foundation
Price: €2 (I got it on offer, 3 for €6 in my local pharmacy so I'm not sure what the individual price is!)
Skin type: dry/combination
Coverage: poor, can be built up but very thin liquidy formula
Longevity: wears off quite fast, few hours at most. Rubs off easily on clothes etc.
Colour Selection: poor, lightest shade is way too dark and very orange
Recommend: definitely not! Very bad colour range, and bad coverage
7️⃣ Borjois Healthy Mix Foundation
Price: €13
Skin type: dry/combination
Coverage: medium to full
Longevity: lasts a good few hours, no longer than 8 though, especially in oily areas. So it didn't last up to 16 hours for me like it says on the bottle :-P
Colour Selection: good for both pale and darker skin tones
Recommend: yes, for dry/combination skin this is a healthy glowy looking foundation with good staying power
