Fear no more of looking like a hot mess, and head to your nearest pharmacy or makeup store to pick up your perfect foundation to cover up those pimples or dark circles! Here are three of the most popular foundations running from the lowest to the highest price.
Not all of us have $50 to spend on a bottle of makeup product, and not all of us are so absorbed by the world of makeup. One does not have to be engrossed in the overwhelming world of lipsticks,contouring, and bronzers to want to put a tad of foundation on their face. For $15 or even $6 you could invest in a bottle of L’Oreal foundation (jet.com/lorealfoundation); your absolute life saver on those sluggish days where you wake up looking like you just finished winter hibernation!
