Top Drugstore Foundations : High Coverage

When it comes to drugstore foundations, without a doubt there is plenty to choose from. However the extensive array of brands, coverage and finishes can be a tad overwhelming. Therefore I am going to dedicate the next three posts to my top drugstore picks, starting with the perfect options for a full coverage. I hope that this will make it that little bit easier to find your perfect match.

1. Revlon Colorstay For Combination/Oily Skin: shade 150 'Buff' - £12.49

No drugstore round up is complete without the infamous Revlon Colorstay foundation. This has been a long time loyal favourite of mine and I never feel as though my collection is complete without it. I use the option for oily/combination skin, which is oil free and provides a medium to full coverage. It helps to control shine and creates a velvety finish, which I  personally find to be more natural than a completely matte look. I feel as though this is a mistake often made by those with oily skin; to overcompensate with an entirely matte complexion and a fear of 'dewy' foundations. The Revlon Colorstay provides the perfect finish where the areas of your face prone to shine are controlled, however your skin still has a slight youthful glow to it and is not flat.

The foundation also has an excellent staying power and the added bonus of SPF 15. There are a total of 13 shades and I find that 'Buff' blends seamlessly into my natural skin tone. Although slightly pricy at £12.49, I definitely feel that this is one of the best full coverage foundations that the drugstore has to offer.

2. Rimmel Lasting Finish Nude Foundation: shade 100 'Ivory' - £7.99

This is a reasonably new, yet without a doubt permanent addition to my collection. For a medium coverage foundation, the formulation is surprisingly lightweight and blends flawlessly into the skin to create a natural coverage. The foundation claims to last 25 hours, although I doubt this and also worry whoever is wearing their makeup for that long. However the staying power really is amazing and I find that it barely budges throughout a hectic day.

Furthermore, it is enhanced with a moisturising serum gel and also contains Vitamin E. This is apparent in the fact that it is surprisingly comfortable to wear for a heavier coverage. The shade 'Ivory' blends fluidly into my skin tone to provide a natural finish and also contains SPF 20. Overall this is a real winner and an absolute bargain at £7.99.

I hope this helped those of you looking for an affordable, full coverage foundation. I would love to hear what you think in the comments below.
