One of my holy grails, the coverage is perfect for the natural look I achieve. It’s very light weight and blends into my skin so naturally

Spend a little more
I wouldn’t consider this as affordable, but I would 100% purchase this foundation again. It lasts all day, the coverage is amazing. I would say it’s more of a medium weight.
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
This foundation I have only used in a sample size but when they mean it lasts “forever” it truly does, it will last on your skin a long time. Truly a good investment if you are willing.
