When the Makeup Wars Team decided to have its members select their favorite drugstore foundations and concealers, I didn't had to think long about it. While I don't currently have any drugstore concealers, at least that I can find in my stash, there is but one drugstore foundation that has truly stolen my heart, and that is the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Foundation in Light Ivory. I fell madly in love with its formula from my first application, and my love for it remains just as strong today!

That's two votes for Rimmel!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a wonderful foundation!!!! I love this stuff!
DeleteNow that Rimmel Foundation is an absolutely perfect match for you! Impressive
ReplyDeleteI was absolutely shocked that it matched so well! The formula is really fantastic, too!
DeleteAfter this series I definitely want to pick this up... you guys have sold me!
ReplyDeleteIt really is worth trying, Brooke! I think that you will be very impressed by it!
DeleteWow, that shade is the perfect match for your skin! I don't think I've ever tried this one. I'll give it a try next time I need some foundation.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty surprised, and excited, that the match was so perfect! This one is definitely worth trying, the formula is fantastic!
DeleteI did like this foundation a lot, but the lightest shade at my Ulta was still too dark for me. I just ordered the NYX Pro White foundation mixer though, so hopefully I can get use out of the foundations I have that are too dark.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad that the lightest shade is too dark, hopefully the NYX Pro White Foundation allows you to make the perfect match! The formula is so good, that it would be great if you could create the perfect shade!
DeleteIt's great to know that an affordable but good quality foundation exists
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree, Kath! This one is a great find, that's for sure!
DeleteSo many people rave about this foundation. :D
ReplyDeleteIt really is fantastic! It's one of those rare drugstore foundations that feels like a luxury foundation! I really love it!
DeleteI need try this on my next trip to Walgreens!
ReplyDeleteYou really do, Cindy– I think that you will really love it!
DeleteI swear I have this somewhere. Now I have to go looking because I can't remember what I thought of it!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you find it– because I would love to hear what you think of it, Christa!
DeleteI don't mind using drugstore makeup if it works! I appreciate your posting about affordable makeup. I'll have to check out the shade range the next time I do a drugstore run. I'd rather save my money for skincare. I used to only use powder foundation when I was younger. But as I've aged, liquid is so much more forgiving! I just need to find ones that work for oily skin. OK, I'm done rambling. lol
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Lynne! I actually find it really refreshing that I can depend on brands like Rimmel and Milani to provide me with high quality makeup at drugstore prices. I know what you mean by saving your money for skincare– while I do splurge on luxury makeup, I splurge far more on luxury skincare! I think that liquid foundations tend to be far more forgiving on the skin as well, and I prefer its texture! I have normal/combination skin, and this one has definitely worked well for my skin. My t-zone is a little oily, and this lasts quite well on me.
DeleteI will have to find a place to test this out. I have a tremendously difficult time finding a good match with foundation.
ReplyDeleteI know that you have a really hard time finding a color match, and I hope that you can find a shade that works for you because the formula is really fantastic, and it is so affordable!
DeleteI do love this foundation though even the Light Ivory is darker than I'm comfortable with. I mix it with a little white foundation (Manic Panic) and then it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are able to modify the color so that it is a perfect match! The formula is so fantastic!
DeleteI'm always so pleasantly surprised by the quality of Rimmel's products! And you usually can't beat the price!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Babi! Rimmel is definitely one of my all-time favorite drugstore brands! I really love their products!
DeleteIt looks like a great match for you!
ReplyDeleteI was actually surprised that it matched as well as it did! Pleasant surprise!
DeleteI've been seriously impressed with Rimmel foundations and concealers. I'll have to remember this one.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Rimmel is impressive all the way around!
DeleteI always hear that the Rimmel is amazing, but I've never tried it. I think you have me convinced!
ReplyDeleteOh, Christine you really need to try Rimmel!! It is one of my VERY favorite drugstore brands!
