LOVE LOVE Almay's TLC Foundation. Even over higher end brands. I keep going back to it :) http://www.youtube.com/user/Makemeupology?feature=mhee

Maybelline's Fit Me Foundation. I Love it! I didn't think I would but it is easy to blend and looks really natural.

I'm definitely going with Revlon Colorstay. The best ever.
And yes, Maybelline's Fit Me is equally as awesome. I find it a bit more natural than Revlon's, and doesn't feel as cakey. You just need to find the right shade from its range.

I actually HATE the Revlon Colourstay! My favourite is the L'Oreal True Match Minerals (Also known as Bare Naturale in the US) I think it's coverage is great and it feels so light!

My favorite drugstore foundation right now is the neutrogena healthy skin, but
the maybelline superstay foundation is really good too :)

I like Covergirl's Clean Liquid Foundation. they have formulas for dry, normal, and oily skin. Coverage is only light-medium, but it feels natural on the skin.

Top favorite drugstore foundation: Revlon Colorstay - there's not much competition for that number 1 slot!
Other favorites (in order of preference)
Revlon Photoready
Maybelline superstay
cover girl natureluxe
revlon age defying DNA (it's just more creamy, so i have to use it on dry days, but not a bad foundation)
I also bought fit me but haven't tried it yet!

The L'Oreal True Match...it feels so nice on the skin, but the packaging could be done a bit better.

The only one i have found that has amazing coverage and stays put all day is the Revlon Colorstay.
Its worth the money!

The only one I ever purchase anymore for emergencies is Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Enhancer. It gives slight coverage that is incredibly easy to blend, moisturizes, and contains retinol and SPF. It's good to have in the summer, or on late days that way you can just slap it on. It's completely fool proof. Plus, it makes your skin look great!

I keep hearing a lot about the Revlon PhotoReady. I haven't tried it and it's a lot on the pricey side for being drugstore but it's apparently really great.
For me, though, I preferred the Maybelline DreamMouse Liquid Foundation. :)

Max Factor Colour adapt or Rimmel lasting finish, both are lightweight but have good coverage which isn't greasy at all. And they are available in paler shades too, which is so hard to find in drugstore foundations >_<

mine is Revlon's Color Stay foundation all the way! i love how long lasting it is and it covers all my imperfections pretty nicely.. I do think it is a little bit pricey for a drugstore foundation though. It is close to 20 bucks here in Canada but I think it's worth it in the end. I also like the Dream Liquid Mousse foundation by Maybelline. I feel like that is the perfect summer foundation because it's light and it covers but at the same time looks really natural too.

@jazmine, yes, it's a little pricey but if you find it on sale, it's not bad. the drugstores frequently have bogo's and money back when you buy revlon.

I've tried so many drugstore foundations but honestly never found one that I was like "omg I can't live without this"... I finally gave up and bought some Nars. Yes, it's expensive, but when I considered how much I'd spent on trying to find a good bottle of $10 foundation I realized I'd already spent much more that way then if I'd bought the good stuff to begin with.
My skin isn't great so having a good foundation is super important for me. I skimp on other stuff though- eyeshaddows, brow pencils, lip liners, etc... Those things I don't mind buying at the drugstore!

Revlon ColorStay or L'oreal true match
Rvlon ColorStay has a pink undertone(240 Medium Beige) not sure on other colors
L'oreal true match comes in a great variety os shades :)

@angela: i used to feel the same way and I still LOVE MAC studio fix fluid and spend more money on that awesome foundation but i think there are some great drugstore ones as well. if you go to a place where you can return the makeup (like walgreens) i think you may be able to experiment and find one you like as much.
i think that neutrogena healthy skin is supposed to be a dead on dupe for the Nars. but, i totally understand the way you feel. if you're going to spend more on one thing, i would say foundation and eyeshadow top the list.
