I know what you’re thinking. Are low-cost foundations worth it? For some people, drugstore foundations can look cakey or they don’t offer great coverage.
There are pros and cons to using foundations under £10. I typically focus on the positives, especially when it’s more budget-friendly.

If you’re like me, you find it hard to commit to one foundation. You want something that will last all day and give your face a fresh look without breaking the bank. Less expensive options allow you to experiment and find a flawless base.

One con is that some drugstore foundations can cause irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. That’s why it’s essential to know your skin type and the type of foundation that will work for you—liquid, creams, tinted oil, mousse, or powder.
One of the benefits of drugstore foundations is that you can find some that are reliable and actually do what they say they will do. So, you’re not really sacrificing quality if you buy a cheaper option.
Drugstore makeup products under £10 are just as great as some high-end makeup brands.

If you’re looking for a new way to try out foundation or want something that will work well on your skin, then drugstore foundations might just be the way to go.
