Foundation

Some good quality foundations that are ranked by the public

Maybelline would be one of the best companies to buy products from that aren't pricey. Fit me foundation is definitely an exception as it is smooth and poreless, meaning your pores won't show which is rare to find some most foundations. It is a water...

Maybelline Fit Me Collection

One of the top picks out of 9 of 2025 which I found atonishing because it is a drugstore products! Rating in the comments.

NYX Professional Makeup Cant Stop Foundation Light | Make Up

While it's not entirely a foundation, Maybelline New York's Super Stay 24H Skin Tint is a great way to get coverage and skin nourishment. The formula contains vitamin C for a brighter and radiant skin-like finish. To use, shake the bottle well, apply...

Shopping market editor Angela Trakoshis swore off powder foundations— until TikTok convinced her to try L'Oréal Paris's buttery Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation in a Powder. And now? She'll never go back. "The formula is so lightweight, it almos...

L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation Powder 20 | Make Up

We're drawn to the Wet n Wild section like a lip gloss-loving moth to a flame. The brand's Photo Focus Dewy Foundation is among our (many) reasons for doing so. It's light-diffusing for a picture-perfect, full-coverage look. Wet n Wild tested the for...

Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation Matte Nude Ivory | Make Up

Concealer

One of the best ranked drugstore concealers!

Many people call it a dupe of the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, which clocks in at over quadruple the price, and they definitely have similarities, IMO. They're both really lightweight, with a slightly radiant finish and add moisture, especially for...<3s.

Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer 10 Light 6.8ml | Make Up

The matte finish looks surprisingly natural too (aka it doesn't look flat or cake-y on my skin), so it's great whether to throw on with some sunscreen or to do a full-glam situation with foundation, blush, bronzer, the works.

L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H More Than Concealer 320 Porcela | Make Up

It's also v easy to layer. So if I want to touch up throughout the day or I have a rogue pimple pop up by the afternoon, I can just dot it over my foundation without worrying it gets patchy or streaky. Plus, the flat-edge of the doe-foot applicator m...

Concealer | Liquid, Cream & Powder | Face

When I first apply it, it has a natural finish, but it stays matte throughout the day—even when my oils start to peek through my foundation on other parts of my face. It fully passes the longevity test, as I don't need to touch it up, even after 10+ ...

e.l.f. Hydrating Satin Camo Concealer Light Ivory | Make Up

I just twist the packaging to dispense some product onto the built-in sponge, dab it on my under-eyes, and blend with my fingers or a beauty sponge. It quickly spreads to make my under-eyes look moisturized, while the medium coverage conceals any dar...

Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Eye Concealer (Light) | Make Up

This is the concealer to try if you've got secrets acne, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration to hide. Of every drugstore concealer I've tested, this has the most opacity. Like, I've even covered my tattoos with this stuff. It sets to a matte finish ...

DNR Juvia's Place I Am Magic Concealer 21 | Make Up

The consistency is so thin that it spreads easily, meaning I only have to use a pump to cover my entire face. I blend it out with a beauty sponge usually—since I like the sheer, dewy finish—but I can blend out the edges with a brush to give me a bit ...

NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Concealer Serum - Fair | Make Up

Normally, my concealer will just melt off my sweaty, oily face—but this one passed the summer NYC subway test (which is high praise, as waiting for a subway in 85-degree heat is the sweatiest, most vile environment one can be in, IMO). I dab the full...

Conceal + Perfect Long Wear Concealer 125 Light Natural 5ml | Make Up

FWIW, this concealer comes in a slew of shades and undertones, which has made it supremely viral (lookin' at you, 40,000 five-star reviews) as a contour, highlighter, and color corrector too. Grab the green shade if you're looking to cover up red pim...

Concealer | Liquid, Cream & Powder | Face

If you're used to concealers that cling to all the dry patches on your face, lemme intro you to Pretty Fresh by Colourpop. It's srsly hydrating, thanks to a combo of hyaluronic acid and coconut water, both of which actually moisturize your skin inste...

Concealer | Liquid, Cream & Powder | Face

The satin finish of this concealer is unparalleled. It just glides on with a creamy, rich formula, and the buildable coverage can be sheered out with a sponge or layered on to cover acne, dark spots, under-eye bags, and more. TBH, reviewers are obses...

Concealer | Liquid, Cream & Powder | Face

I love how weightless it feels on my skin, but it seriously covers too. My preferred way to wear this is on top of a tinted sunscreen, since it'll make my pimples and dark spots disappear, but blends seamlessly into a glowy tint. I just dab it on wit...

Flower Beauty Light Illusion Concealer Light | Make Up

The drugstore has some catching up to do when it comes to inclusive shade ranges. But, ofc, Black Radiance has deep skin covered with this concealer in seven shades from medium tan to deep dark. Reviewers love how lightweight it feels on their skin, ...
