Every fabulous woman wants flawless, healthy and glowing skin. You can look fierce without emptying your wallet and up for that pair of stilettos instead! There are a few inexpensive foundations that even celebrity makeup artists use on their own clients.
Cover Girl's Nature Luxe Silk Foundation
A favorite inexpensive foundation of celebrity makeup artist Samantha Smith is Cover Girl's Nature Luxe Silk Foundation. Samantha says this foundation is great for someone who wants a natural, luxurious feeling product on the cheap. She goes on to say this foundation is good for those who prefer lightweight, natural coverage. Another bonus, Smith says, is this foundation smells great! Who doesn't want the silky, smooth skin of celebrities such as Taylor Swift, the spokeswoman of Cover Girl's Nature Luxe Silk Foundation?
Maybelline's Super Stay 24HR Foundation
For those who pull all-nighters, Maybelline's Super Stay 24HR Foundation lasts 24 hours. You read that right. For those fist-pumping party animals, this line is designed to stay put all night long. Beauty expert Carolyn Brundage says, "While I can't swear that the makeup will last for 24 hours---I'm no longer 21 so I don't party all night anymore---I can attest that the makeup is natural looking, long lasting and transfer resistant. Meaning it stays on your face instead of transferring to clothes or, worse yet, other people."
L'Oréal True Match
Joy Randall, celebrity makeup artist to clients such as Fantasia Barrino, K-Ci and Jo-Jo, Melyssa Ford, Mya and Bre Scullark from "America's Next Top Model," believes L'Oreal is one of the best drugstore brands for those seeking an inexpensive foundation. Joy says the L'Oréal True Match Foundation line comes in a wide range of shades and tones for all complexions and is super-blendable. "They have a fabulous variety of formulations from liquid to powder." L'Oréal True Match has also been named one of the Best Beauty Buys every year between 2005 and 2010 by "InStyle" magazine.
Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation
Voted one of the best foundations in "Allure" magazine's 2010 Readers' Choice Awards, Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation protects skin with SPF 22 and doesn't settle into fine lines and wrinkles. (It's never to early to choose products that protect your skin.) Cover Girl offers a money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the results.
