I have gone through a few foundations that haven't cut it. Currently I am using Hourglass Veil Fluid foundation in Ivory. While I love how this sits on my face (the others felt like masks and didn't let my skin breathe) and I know a little goes a long way when I apply, I want to see if there are foundations like this but at a more reasonable price point. I have combo, sensitive skin and I do appreciate that Hourglass is vegan but I'm strict on that being a feature of my makeup. Any recommendations?

I love Garnier foundations and BB creams, they blend super smooth and let your skin breathe! Any products from Garnier are worth it. Not spons, it's a genuine opinion.

Have you tried juice beauty? They are USDA organic certified but not sure if they are vegan but their products are decent for the price.

I'm not sure how "combination" your skin is since it tends to be different for everyone
Whether it's normal with some dryness, normal with some oiliness, oily with dryness

But I quite like the custom cover drops from CoverFX they're cruelty free and I believe vegan as well.

They claim it can be mixed with a foundation, primer or moisturizer whether it's water, silicone or oil based.

So if you're oily/dry combination skin then this would work great since you can add a few drops with a mattifying primer on oily areas and then mix a few drops with a rich moisturizer on very dry areas and it's great.
1 drop is sheer coverage.
3 drops is medium and I believe 6 drops for full coverage so it's very customizable.

They also have different undertones.
P, N and G
Pink, neutral and golden.

The only thing I don't like, personally is that they haven't added the true olive shades to this product like their other ones yet.

I wear the G40 which is quite yellow but it doesn't have any green tones to it like the other products in G+40

But if you're not olive toned then you shouldn't have a problem, they do have quite fair shades all the way to fairly deep
