Drugstore Foundation - Recommendations

Options
I need a new foundation as I have finished my MAC studio fix fluid (NC15) and want to try a drugstore foundation. I have combination skin that needs priming before foundation. I want a medium cover which will last all day. And most importantly, I need a pale colour. This is where I really struggle as most drugstore foundations are not light enough for me.

Let me know your favourites!

  • Have you thought about Lily Lolo mineral foundation? Nice and pale and not badly priced.

    Personally, I like Collection 2000 16 hour foundation in their palest shade. I have pale skin and it's great, and one of my squad with combi skin used it and didn't need a primer.

    I'd second Lily Lolo...I was recommended it on here and haven't look back.

    You can get samples sent to you and can create your own custom blend if needed.

    I found the Customer Service fab too. They were able to recommend which ones to try based on my previous foundation colour.

    I've ordered some samples to try some different colours. Fingers crossed

    Rimmel colorstay? The one for dry skin blends better. I have it in Ivory and it matches my NW15 skin perfectly

    Revlon colourstay for oily skin is very very similar to Mac studio fix, dds wear NC15 and she can wear either the lightest or second lightest, in my area only Superdrug do the lightest one, its an amazing drugstore product. If you go back to Mac I would recommend calling them and ordering Mac full cover (its a pro product and can only be ordered by phone not online or from a pro shop) its highly pigmented and can be worn sheer or heavier, its £23 and lasts months as you need so little :)
