With prices of cosmetics constantly getting higher I have been trying to find cheaper brands of items I use.  I'm currently using IT CC+ complete coverage foundation.  I like it, but my skin must be changing because it doesn't look or last as nice as it used to.

I tried the No Makeup Makeup which is OK (it gets a lot of good reviews) but it's $55.  

Does anyone use a drugstore foundation that they really like?  My skin is dry with wrinkles so I don't want something that will look cakey.

Thanks.

Cover Girl with Olay.  Many shades, comes in a compact or a pump.

@Winkk    I have tried everything from drugstore foundations, to high end department store foundations. The best fit for me is L'oreal True Match super blendable in the shade C3.

It foundations and Doll 10 are too yellow for my skin tone.They have almost no cool tone foundations.

I've used everything from Channel to Revlon and would never pay  for expensive foundation again. Currently using a Revlon foundation. Silky and looks like no makeup .

@stevieb -- Thanks.  Do you have a preference?  Compact or pump?

@Winkk  I like them both. When I take my time, I use the pump and can be more exacting, but the compact is sort of my default. It comes with a little sponge to apply. The makeup side of the compact screws off and the little sponge is in a container on the bottom. Both are very creamy. I believe they are usually the same price.

@50Mickey -- Thanks.  I just looked it up on Amazon and they do have a lot of shades.  Amazon is selling it right now for $9.

I love the creme stick foundation No.7. Get it on Amazon, $14. I also have "mature" dry skin. This gives a beautiful flawless finIsh over a well moisturized face. Really covers my flaws. And there are many shades.

I swear by drugstore foundations.  My skin is dry in the winter, normal in summer.  I like several.  

Maybelline FitMe Dewy & Smooth.  They make a Matte version too so avoid that--super drying.    I'm a light/medium  tending towards warm.  My shade is 125 nude beige.

L'Oreal True Match super blendable N3 Neutral light med.

L'Oreal Visible Lift serum absolute 148 Natural buff.  Mousselike, nice finish but the pumps malfunction and it's impossible to get all the product out of the botte.
