5 Best Light-weight Drugstore Foundation for a Natural Finish
We don’t always want a heavy, full coverage foundation to wear every day. Because of this, I have my friends coming to me and asking what is the best light-weight drugstore foundation to use for every day?
Here you will find products that, not only enhancing your natural beauty, but will also not be so heavy that they will clog your pores and cause breakouts. As well as products with added benefits such as hyaluronic acid infused. So, I have compiled some of the best foundations that are light-weight and affordable, not only looking out for your skin, but also your wallet.
Presently, we have been seeing makeup artists and gurus opt for more of a natural finish. Specifically, something that looks like our skin, just better. Sometimes, all we want, is to just look a better version of ourselves, and that’s what these products do.
All of these products you can find at your local drugstore such as Superdrug, or Boots. Or you can get them online at other major retailers such as Amazon, or Look Fantastic. You may also be able to get your hands on these at your local supermarket such as Tesco’s or Sainsbury’s.
Most of the time, at least one of these retailers will have deals with competing stores, so it is always worth shopping around to get the best for your money.
L’Oréal Paris True Match Light-weight Drugstore Foundation
The L’Oréal Paris true match foundation is infused with hyaluronic acid. Not only does this keep your skin hydrated, it improves the look, feel and texture of your skin. This is one of the best light-weight drugstore foundations out there which is perfect for all year around. With this in mind, if used in the summer it will give you that natural, dewy, glow everyone is after, and in the winter it will give you hydrated skin and help prevent dryness.
It smoothens out your skin and overall gives you a more radiant complexion. And this is one of the reasons why my friends, family and I love this product so much and is our go to foundation for everyday looks.
When you use this product, be warned it will come out more runny than full coverage foundations, being as it’s a light-weight formula. Because of this, the product goes a long way and you will not need much. One pump of this will be more than enough to cover your face.
Shop this product online at Superdrug, Look Fantastic, and Amazon. All for around £10.

Revolution Pro CC Perfecting Foundation
The Revolution Pro CC perfecting foundation is perfect whether you want a lighter coverage look, medium coverage look, or full coverage look. The product is buildable which is great for adapting to the level of coverage you require. Which is a bonus for beginners. Or for anyone unsure what coverage they need.
Additionally, this light-weight foundation is infused with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E. Keeping your skin hydrated and strengthening your skins natural barrier.
This foundation is a personal favourite. And it is amazing for the warmer weather as it’s long lasting with SPF 30. So, you can wear this without the fear of getting harmful UVB rays penetrating your skin.
As a result of the long wearing powers of this foundation, it prevents creasing, running or melting. Even in the hotter months. I was sceptical of this at first, but after testing for myself, I saw those claims were true.
You can find this product on the Revolution beauty website, and Superdrug, all for £10.
Maybelline Fit Me liquid Light-weight Drugstore Foundation
Maybelline has released two light-weight foundations based on your skin type. Comparatively, the Maybelline Fit Me Matt + Poreless liquid foundation is made for people with normal to oily skin, whereas the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy and Smooth liquid foundation is made for people with more normal to dry skin.
Both of these products however, are great. If you’re like me and have more of a combination skin, you’ll find your skin is more dry in the winter months, and more oily in the summer months. I like to use the matt + poreless in the summer to help control my natural oils. And the dewy + smooth in the winter to help with dry patches.
These light-weight foundations give a natural finish and are great for lasting throughout the day. Additionally, the matt + poreless has an oil-free formula that won’t clog your pores. As well as making your face look smooth, controlling shine and minimizing the look of pores.
Equally, the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth liquid foundation is just as impressive. In fact, it hydrates dry and rough patches of your skin, leaving you with a flawless finish.
These products are part of the Fit Me line, alongside a pressed powder, loose powder, and primer; just to name a few.
You can find the Maybelline Fit me foundations on the Maybelline New York website, Superdrug, and Amazon.

Revolution Beauty Fast Base Stick Foundation
Just like the name suggests, the Revolution Beauty Fast Base Stick Foundation is undoubtably fast to apply. Certainly, making it easier than ever to apply foundation. This comes in handy when you do not have much time to apply your makeup. Consequently, this has now become a staple in my makeup bag.
This light-weight drugstore foundation has got to be one of the most easy-to-apply foundations I have ever used. With this in mind, you have to be quick at blending the product. The foundation dries quicker on the skin. Unless you use a face mist before blending, then you will have more time to blend the product. I recommend using the crop beauty Oui Cheri Mist for this purpose.
Despite this product being on the light-weight list, if you’d like a more fuller coverage look, you can build up this foundation to get the perfect coverage for you.
Simply twist up the product, swipe on your skin, and blend out. In order to get a more natural lighter coverage finish, I’d recommend going in with a foundation brush to buff out the product. Likewise, for a more fuller coverage look, softly pat the product in with a damp beauty blender.
You can buy this product on the Revolution Beauty website, Boots, or on Amazon.
Max Factor Face Finity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation
As suggested in the title, the Max Factor Face Finity all day flawless 3 in 1 foundation is a mix of primer, concealer and foundation in one. The first thing to remember about this product is because of this, you can cut down on the amount of products you use. It is great for both travel and on the go use when you do not have much room in your bag spare.
Be that as it may, it is still a light-weight foundation. Just like the other foundations mentioned above, you can build the product up in layers for a fuller coverage look. If you have any major blemishes, or would like to lighten up your under eyes, I would still suggest going in with a concealer to touch up.
Along with being a 3 in 1 foundation, it is also an SPF 20 foundation. Any products with SPF are great to use to protect your skin getting damaged by harmful UVB rays.
You can buy this product here at Boots, Superdrug, and Amazon.
