i have really light skin and its hard to find a nice, full coverage drugstore foundation.. what are your favorites ? i am going to go out & buy a new one in a few minuites; im currently using revlon photoready foundation.
note- i am not a fan of anything with a sparkles/shimmer in it . im looking for something close to matte or something with a fresh slightly dewy finish .
Revlon CS is amazing- BUT it is a matte finish. I make sure to use highlighter and the anti aging Skindinavia finishing spray and I get a slightly Dewey finish. =}
my advice to you: Stop using foundation, period. Everything you described your not looking for is in every foundation. According to your "note", your better off without foundation.
I Love my Revlon Colorstay - I perfer it over my MAC studio fix foundation. It doesn't clog my pores, feels weightless and breathable. Also, it doesn't rub onto my shirts like the Loreal true match but I still think it's a good foundation besides that. I think the Photo Ready needs more color selections in the warm undertones. However, EMMA H. your so right, with the Revlon Colorstay I found it stays matte ALL DAY until I remove it with a cleanser. It's one of the best (in my opinion) drugstore foundations I've used so far (I pretty much have tired them all). I hope this helps =D
I am in love with Maybelline nude foam...I also like Loreal true match but I prefer a more natural coverage so I stick with the nude foam. About to try Maybelline BB cream..hope that is good. :D

I used photo ready previously and found it to come off shimmery in pics. I'm looking for a good matte foundation as well.
