I'm looking for a lightweight, light to medium coverage foundation from the drugstore. My skin tends to get a bit oily during the day. What are your favourite drugstore foundations?
My favourite is L'oreal True Match. With one layer it's natural looking and just conceals any redness but is build able for a more flawless look. It lasts all day on me although I do have dry/normal skin!
Colourstay is my fav and I have combo oily skin that's acne prone. It's definitely medium coverage but applied with fingers instead of a brush it's lighter.
I recommend the new Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation, I know you said "best drugstore foundation" but I had to recommend the product I love that best describes what you are looking for: Light weight, light/medium coverage & great for oily skin! It looks so natural too. Sephora gives samples free, you should try it out.
