Answer

Noooooone go fresh faced. The longer you go without foundation, the happier and brighter your skin will become on its own 💕

Answer

Elf or NYX!

Answer

Not drugstore, but my favorites are Makeup Forever and Arbonne (very similar coverage to Makeup forever with slightly healthier ingredients). Now I love Thrive Cosmetics CC cream because it’s lighter and healthier. IT Cosmetics CC cream is decent as well, but I feel like it is a slightly heavier coverage.

Answer

Physician’s Formula Healthy Skin. Light weight, light to medium coverage. Leaves the skin looking natural, not too cakey or heavy on the face. I powder my t-zone but could leave the rest alone if I wanted. I have an oily t zone and normal rest of my face.

Answer

The Almay liquid one with salicylic acid. You'll need a different concealer around the sensitive eye area. It has healing clay, calming mushroom, and you can build the coverage. Clean, sanitized Sponge or brush both work nicely for application. May need to put on spf first if you are fair like me. I sometimes have needed to buy two shades to mix as they are limited in their shades in my region. I like that mild salicylic acid and clay improve my skin like a face mask and have had more compliments on my complexion than anything else while wearing this product. I have very sensitive skin also and this one is fine if I keep it to the regular foundation areas (avoid eye area, lip area, and under nose). When my hormonal acne was worse I would buy the foundation, powder to set T-zone or jawline (go easy on the powder if you do the salicylic acid one), the SA concealer for any discoloured or new blemishes, and the unmedicated concealer for around eyes. Love love love! Wait for drugstore sale if you can and may be as low as $10 per bottle. Have fun! Also request a foundation match if available and/or about return policy as lighting can be terrible in stores. A little light shimmery blush as a final step is a nice compliment to this fresh-faced makeup.

Answer

L’Oreal infallible matte. I asked a girl at Ulta if there were any drugstore brands that she found comparable to the prestige brands and that was the one she recommended! :)
