I love products that work and I really love products that work AND are cheap. I have such a massive kit full of expensive products that I don't really use a lot of drugstore foundations, so I'm not the biggest connoisseur of drugstore brands. However, and I know neither of these are particularly new but I tried both these recently and I love them. Sometimes you really don't need to spend a fortune if you don't have it.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum £10.99/$18.63
Boy is this great, I've used this on myself on and off for a while. It gives such a lovely natural coverage with that dewy finish I adore. If you like a sheer base that you can build up where you need it this is the one to go for. It has such a lovely glow (probably not the best for oily skin types) that really does make you look healthy and radiant like the advert says. Comes with a great pump so no wastage, start of with a small amount as it spreads really well and a bottle will last a while. Comes in a not overwhelmingly impressive 6 shades.
Maybelline FIT £7.99/$5.94
Completely different type of foundation but also great. It's heavier than the Bourjois so if you prefer more coverage this is the one for you. For a heavy foundation it blends really well and looks so natural with a nice matte finish that isn't at all dry looking. Good for oiler skins, possibly not so much for dry skin. Only needs a few tiny pumps, a little goes a long way and a bottle will last ages. This is my first Maybelline foundation in over 15 years and I'm very impressed with it. Comes in 12 shades.
