Hi! Needing a good not overly expensive full coverage foundation. Have a few weddings to go to and I don't use full coverage for work. I have freckles also. Thanks heaps.

What kind of skin do you have oily, dry, or combination??

I really love the dream smooth mousse this is great for a dewy soft natural finish with good build-able coverage, just apply two thin layers and its full coverage but still very natural looking! This is around $9& it's the thinner circular one. There is also the dream matte mousse which I lovvvee as well, on my skin I can apply this very generously and it leaves my skin satiny smooth and literally perfect. This one is for normal or combination skin, the one above is for dry or normal skin( it's more of a wet moisturizing creme) and they're both around $9 I love these foundations so much!
Also- I don't have really dark visible freckles but I do have a lot of redness and imperfections in my skin and light freckles on my nose and these both cover that very well.
However since you're going to a wedding you might want something that will keep your skin shine free all day for pictures and dancing and what not and there's another foundation (the matte one above is great for that) that is amazing & I use it on the really Hott days down here in Florida, and that's at ulta for $7 &you can test this out before you buy it there too! Anyways, it's by NYX and its called stay matte not flat - I have it in one of the lightest colors they make I can't remember the shade if you're curious about that I can let you know. But- this is full coverage and very mattifying finish (make sure you use a primer under these if you want them to last longer - I use monistat chafing relief Powder gel& always set them with a powder too!) :) I also apply these with a real techniques expert face brush ($8 @ ulta) so that will make the finish completely flawless versus your fingers or a sponge. And lastly- if you really want help you can always go to the Mac counter and let them apply a full coverage foundation on you so you can see if you like it( and there foundations are well worth the money & usually aren't over $20 which isn't too bad) so that's another thing I suggest you do- so that way you can see the quality of their foundations and how it looks/reacts with your skin before the wedding! Also

(Sorry I'm on my phone that's why this is in two messages) you can mix a full coverage&more sheer foundation to use at work if you want to use it during the week too & not feel like the foundation is too heavy during the day! Hope that I somewhat helped you! :) Xo.

I use Lancôme teint idole 24hour, it's around 40 dollars but its the best I've ever tried, you face looks flawless all day long and a little goes a long way!!

Revlon Photoready. It's amazing and cheap. I have oily skin and it doesn't get greasy looking and lasts all day. And it covers my freckles!
