Best Drugstore Foundations

[samjs86]

Rev's Photo Ready is by fair my favorite foundation ever!!! if your having issues with it looking 'chalky' its because its thicker than alot of other foundations ive come across, try applying it with a big brush (like a powder brush) that you've misted once or twice with water. Ive had professional photos done, used this foundation for them and it was flawless not chalky :)

[withl0vebryanna]

@MACglitterglam07 fit me is around eight dollars. It can be oily tho.

[HollieJessicaa]

I use revlon:')

[DabneyFountain]

Your skintone is gorgeous!

[ImperfectGees]

it seems like no matter how i apply my foundation... it gets reakky cakey! what do you reccomend to fix that? thanks! and i loved the video!

[rachelbaby567]

I bought the revlon photoready & I hate the sparkle in it I have to mix it with my fit me foundation just so I dont look like a disco ball in the dark . Also the photoready makes me oily -.-

[happinesswithingyou]

@maryjaade I think Revlon does tests on animals.

[anmoroto]

What shade in the Colorstay do you use?

[ilyanf45]

I like color stay a lot better than photoready if anybody is wondering , photoready has some glitter in it btw , i think Color stay has better coverage as well.

[Th3Em0cHiCk]

she looks like kim kardashian

[Kandyycakees]

I use all 3 , (not at the same time) but I love color stay the most , photo finsh isn't the best it depends the on the light , but I mix my fit me with loation it works better, but I hate that it rubs off so easy.

[bkmartinez123]

@Kandyycakees I agree. I've been sticking to the Colorstay also.

[HelenaAngel30]

Thank god! I thought I was the only one who had this problem with the Photo Ready foundation by Revlon... It always comes out too chalky in pictures !!! It feels great on my skin but I feel like I look like Casper in my pictures..And I stopped wearing it!!

[bkmartinez123]

@HelenaAngel30 YES! So annoying. I totally stopped wearing it as well.

[wdmickey]

The Photo Ready is for combination to oily skin.. it may be that your skin is too dry.

[bkmartinez123]

@wdmickey I never even thought of that. Thanks for mentioning it. :)

[tygress1]

The Photoready is NOT for taking photos. Its a light reflecting foundation only!! I dont like it because it makes my pores that more visible. Great video hun!! xoxo

[bkmartinez123]

@tygress1 really? They advertise is as a foundation to take pictures with (complete with Halle Berry posing for paparazzi) LOL. LIES!! Thanks for the compliment. Glad you liked it.

[TheAensing]

Try setting the Revlon Photo Ready with Mac Studio Fix powder + foundation. I use it and it works and looks beautiful in pictures!

[bkmartinez123]

@TheAensing I would imagine so. Studio Fix is super thick and has FULL coverage. Idk that I'd wear anything under it due to that but great tip. Thanks doll.

[casandralopez1]

i hate fit me foundation too its so dam oily for me =/

[bkmartinez123]

@casandralopez1 I hear that alot from ppl.

[thrgirlinthehall]

@bkmartinez123 As I was looking at you, I knew you looked like someone, but I didn;t know who...but not Kim Kardashian at all. I think you look like a cross between Cher (when she was yonger) and Angelina Jolie. I think that is way better than Kim.

[misskeykeyful]

new subby thnks 4 review helped out allot..much luv:)

[bkmartinez123]

@misskeykeyful I'm glad! Thanks darling :)

[2SweetBlondes]

Okay to all the girls who want a PERFECT foundation M.A.C!!!! It may expensive but it is the most amazing foundation you could ever get!!

[bkmartinez123]

@2SweetBlondes I have to disagree. Great product but not the end all to what is great with makeup. There are several amazing lines out there. However, I have recently been testing out the Pro last from M.A.C and it's pretty dang good. lol.

[CyndiGarguilo]

Wow, I really hated Fit Me

[bkmartinez123]

@CyndiGarguilo ppl either love or freakin HATE the Fit Me. lol. It's just one of those products.

[hottieattxs]

I love the fit me foundation! i have combo/dry skin and i don't use primer.

[marlenelaflaca]

What color are you in the colorstay? You look like the same color I am I'm looking to try it out

[MACglitterGlam07]

How expensive are these products?? Im looking for a foundation under 10 dollars that is good quality :/

[ilovejasonmann]

The problem I have with Fit Me Foundation is that is makes me look so so so oily! I already have a problem with oily skin, but this made me look like I was a sweaty pig..

[bkmartinez123]

@ilovejasonmann ohhhh, ok. I have extremely dry skin. So that would make sense. I don't know what a good option would be for oily skin. What is your favorite foundation?

[ilovejasonmann]

@bkmartinez123 So far, I haven't found a "favorite" foundation, I'm still searching for Mr. right foundation.

[sUnnySideMuah]

@ilovejasonmann i agree hun ... so i went back to my NARs

[tatiperkin]

i hate fit me foundation. its soo watered down when i put it on it creates wrinkles and fades too fast. revlon photoready without powder is the best ive continued to use it time after time

[bkmartinez123]

@tatiperkin Do you use a primer? I noticed the same issue with fitme when I try to throw it on without a primer.

[xoxbooboo96xox]

Fit me is my most hated makeup DONT EVER EVER IN YOUR LIFE BUY IT! !!

[bkmartinez123]

@xoxbooboo96xox LOL. Damn, you really do hate it.

[melss90]

I used the maybeline fit me foundation and powder a couple of times during the summer and it made me break out and sweat a LOT!!! And I hated it for a while then I started using it the past weeks and I love it!! I think I'll keep on using it during the winter! But is def not an option for hot wether!

[bkmartinez123]

@melss90 Really? I've never heard that before. I'll have to keep my eye on that and see if I notice a difference. I have super dry skin though, so maybe that's why I haven't noticed it.

[melss90]

@bkmartinez123 well i live in Texas so maybe thats why lol but like I said im using it right now and im liking it I have dry skin as well :/

[MsLilacLover1]

@maryjaade Rimmel also tests on animals :(

[sabrinajo9797]

fit me made me break out HORRIBLY

[bkmartinez123]

@sabrinajo9797 oh no :(

[jiller777]

I love Revelong HD photo Ready , its way beter then MUFE HD. ITs med coverage & i dont see any sparkles in it.

[bkmartinez123]

@jiller777 yeah, I tried the MUFE HD foundation and was NOT impressed. Plus it was super expensive. All around FAIL. lol.

[icepriencess2010]

my favourite is the maybelline fit me and the revlon photoready foundations. I use the photoready when i go out in th night and the maybelline during the day

[KarentCecilia]

Are you on Instagram???

[bkmartinez123]

@KarentCecilia no I'm not :(

[bkmartinez123]

@maryjaade OMG..I had no idea! Thank you for letting me know that. Looks like I need to research these companies before I purchase thier merchandise. I will now be sticking to Revlon.

[ByYourSide56]

i heard Photo Ready looks really sparkly

[bkmartinez123]

@ByYourSide56 yes! and then whenever you take photos it looks white (and yes I've tried to set it with a million things), no bueno. lol.

[icepriencess2010]

@bkmartinez123 the reason why its looks white is because of the SPF

[bkmartinez123]

@icepriencess2010 yep. No good! We need that SPF to protect our skin. booo. Better to use it during the day.

[vienneseoyster43]

Gorgeous! youre beautiful

[bkmartinez123]

@vienneseoyster43 Thank you. You're very kind.

[kamilarv15]

How long does the fit me foundation last on you?

[bkmartinez123]

@kamilarv15 I'd say it last a good 8hrs (when I set it with powder), applied alone it only lasts me about 4-5 hrs. This foundation is def for those who like light/natural looking makeup. For long nights/long wear I'd use the Revlon Colorstay. It has more pigment and lasts 10-12hrs alone. However, it does feel thicker on. Both are beautiful on though. Hope this helps :)

[magicalelephantz]

@jamie8683 Fit me broke me out awfullly

[Inuyashalover921]

The Maybelline Fit is so far the best foundation I've used :) and I'm the same "number" as you! :D

[bkmartinez123]

@Inuyashalover921 Yey! we're foundation twins! lol..Yeah, I keep going back to the Fit Me also. It's just so dang good :)

[jadebella11]

Photoready is an awful foundation. I think it's not suitable for dry skin.. Didn't work for me

[bkmartinez123]

@jadebella11 I agree. I didn't like it at all. It might be because of my dry skin too, I didn't think of that.

[jiller777]

Loreal Tru Match & Neautrgena Healthy Skin are my Faves

[bkmartinez123]

@jiller777 I've tried the Neutrogena, but I'll try the Tru Match and see how it goes. Thanks :)

[girlareyoutrippin321]

if any of you guys have acne and redness you should really go and get the covergirl trublend it covers really great and its like 12$ at the drugstore or walmart its great!

[bkmartinez123]

@jamie8683 Not at all. I have the same skin type and it works wonderfully on me :)

[beautyfromwithin100]

i think you have to set the Revlon photo ready, with the actually Revlon photo ready powder!:)

[AlexSandrA201]

I got the fit me foundation and it looks great it's does give that natural look thank you for the help I'm not so nervous about senior portraits tomorrow now :)

[bkmartinez123]

@AlexSandrA201 yey!! glad I could help :)

[AlexSandrA201]

Does the maybelline fit me foundation look good in photos? Because I want to buy the photo ready by revlon but I've heard that it does give that chalk effect in the face and I definitely don't want that for senior portraits

[bkmartinez123]

@AlexSandrA201 fit Me looks amazing in photos, just be sure that whatever you set it with, if you do use powder over it, is talc free. Also, fit Me has light coverage and gives a natural finish. If you're looking for a lot more coverage try revlon colorstay or loreal infallible. Those two are amazing and stay put a long time.

[xbrigettex]

I tried the maybelline fit, but the smell was too much for me! does revlon have a strong scent like the maybelline fit foundation?

[bkmartinez123]

@xbrigettex you know, I never noticed the scent until you said something! lol. Yes, the colorstay also has some fragrance to it. Do you love foundations only, or have you tried any powders? Loreal just came out with the infallible powder which you can apply with a dry sponge for a light coverage or wet the sponge for a foundation finish. Works very well for me and I haven't noticed any fragrance with it. Hope this kinda helps you out :)

[caatheriinex]

hey there gorgeous :) great review! im happy your honest about the revlon photoready and said your honest opinion about it, and it lets your viewers know that you are a trustworthy guru :) my question is, does the revlon colorstay give that white cast over your face in photos? does it look natural in photos...? thankyou :)

[bkmartinez123]

@caatheriinex thanks! The Revlon Colorstay looks amazing in photos, which is why I prefer to wear it when I go out and know that pics will be taken (hehe). Just be sure that if you set the foundation with powder, that it's "talc free". that's what gives the ugly ghost effect or white cast. I recommend a translucent powder. Most drugstore ones work very well (like sonia kashuk, covergirl, etc) and they won't break the bank. It's not required however, as this foundation stays put like a charm ;)

[caatheriinex]

@bkmartinez123 thankyou so much! i'm gonna try out the foundation because of your review and recommendation! oh i learnt something from you, talc free okay thankyou so much! your the best, *subscribes* :)

[bkmartinez123]

@1942evelyn oh okay, gotcha ;) For the maybelline superstay I would do the true beige or Natural Tan, depending on how tan you want to be. The MAC NC's tend to be compatible to any of the 'beige" families in drugstore foundations, so those are the ones that I stick to, and I wear NC40-NC45. Also, I usually buy a few different shades in each foundation just for day/night and if I happen to get a lot of sun the day before. Hope this helps and isn't so broad.

[bkmartinez123]

@1942evelyn sorry for the late response doll, I use the revlon colorstay when I want full coverage. Also, do you use any primer, or anything to set your makeup once you're done? What product/color were you wearing from MAC?

[bkmartinez123]

I wear Medium Beige to True Beige, depending on how tan I want to look. ( I fake my tans with makeup) :)

[chattybeau]

What shade of Colorstay foundation are you wearing?
