I seriously need a good foundation! I'm just not willing to buy a expensive foundation & especially if it doesn't work! But every time I try out a drugstore foundation, it's to heavy on my skin, my face breaks out, and the tone won't blend ever! :( I need recommendations pleassseeee! - margo<3

I hear ya! I recommend POWDER foundations.
They are easier on your skin, and light! They also usually blend better!
Try MAYBELLINE F.I.T me! Or L'OREAL True Match NATURALE!
hope that helps!

Totally check out Revlon Colorstay and maybelline's superstar foundation. My top 2 drugstore brands. Amazing coverage and it's no more then 10-12 dollars a bottle.

I HATE Covergirl's Luxe. I did try it and it caused me to break out in a rash.
The one thing you didn't state was what is your skin type? I did check out profile for it but not everyone is going to do that. Since you have combination skin I would actually recommend a water based foundation over an oil one.
If you have a Rite Aid go there for your foundation because they have a 100% guarantee and will refund your money if you're not happy for any reason.
I can't totally recommend Rimmel London's Clean Finish Foundation because I've never used it but it's supposed to be for all skin types. It's under $8 a bottle and with a sale and coupon you can probably pick it up for under $5.

Revlon Colorstay for sure! It's the BEST drugstore liquid foundation I've ever tried. Stipple it on and it makes you look absolutely flawless.

I know everyone loves the Revlon Colorstay, but I use the Photoready and love it. It conceals what I want without feeling too heavy and doesn't make me break out. In the summertime however my skin gets oily from the heat so I've been using Neutrogena Healthy Skin Sheer Glow tinted moisturizer. I really like it I don't use moisturizer after washing my face in the summer since its too heavy, but the sheer glow helps keep it hydrated without feeling oily and gross. Plus it gives you some coverage and a very pretty glow.

I really love the Photoready and Maybelline Fit Me. Both are feel super light to me and blend great! I've heard of some people saying the Maybelline oxidizes on their skin, but I haven't had a problem and it leaves my skin looking dewy :)

i like neutrogena's healthy skin liquid make up. it's not full coverage or too heavy so it's nice all year round. in the winter though, i wear revlon photoready because it's full coverage!

I agree with Dani P !! Revlon Photoready is the best I have used :D It can apply very light and doesn't feel heavy at all, but it is also build-able.

I defiantly think you should try loreal true match liquid foundation. It is super light feeling, has build-able coverage, and it easily blends into your skin. It sounds just like what you want to me and I enjoyed it when I had it.
Another option with much much less coverage is the covergirl aqua smoothers tinted moisturizer. It is what I am using now, but it barely has any coverage. It is super light weight and bendable too.
