I've been looking for a new drugstore-priced foundation for a few months; I'm starting to think the search for the Holy Grail was shorter and more successful. I thought y'all might find some of these reviews helpful.

First, an almost-review of the Missha BB cream, because I got a sample sachet of it in my most recent order, which was only enough to try it two days. They sent me shade 23, which was too dark; I’m usually a 21 in Asian foundations, sometimes a 13 (no, I don’t understand their numbering system either). I liked the consistency and the staying power though; it reminded me a lot of the Laura Mercier oil free tinted moisturizer that used to be my go-to for ‘slap on some stuff and run out the door’ days. I’ll definitely consider buying this in 21 next time Missha has a sale.

Nope:
Elf flawless finish foundation, snow [frosted glass bottle w/ pump, no SPF, 20mL, ~$6]
This is a medium-coverage that dries down to a satin matte. I really liked how it looked but it broke me out big-time.

Hard Candy glamoflauge foundation, 1501 ultra light [glass bottle with wand, 20mL, no SPF, ~$6]
Close to full coverage with a slightly glowy finish. But it broke me out.

L’oreal True match [glass bottle, no pump or wand, 30 mL, SPF 17, ~$10]
I think it was Angie @ Hot and Flashy that loves this so I gave it a try. Oh dear lord it was horrible on me. It’s very liquid and didn’t spread evenly, and I had a hard time getting it to even out. It made my skin look diseased, seriously. There is obviously something in my body chemistry or my skincare routine that doesn’t work with this formulation at all. I usually try things a couple of times at least but this went to donation after one attempt. I will applaud them for their extremely wide shade range.

Meh:
CYO Lifeproof foundation, 101, 102, 104 [plastic bottle with airless pump, no SPF, 30 mL, $6-7]
This was a saga to get ahold of, my friends. CYO is a line made by Boots, the UK drugstore chain, which also owns Walgreens (or maybe Walgreens owns Boots?). In any case, you can only get it at Walgreens in the US; my local stores don’t carry it in store, and my closest two shades (102 and 104, 103 is apparently quite warm-toned) have been unavailable for literally months online. Every time I thought I might get a chance to pick it up, another YouTube beauty guru did a review and it disappeared again. I finally did a ‘ship-to-store’ on the lightest shade, 101, because I could get my hands on it. 101 is a little too light for me, and has almost a grayish tinge to it. The foundation comes in a plastic bottle with an airless pump, and is priced at only $6, which I think is one of the reasons it’s gotten so much buzz.
Anyway, I tried that shade and it didn’t seem to break me out and it was nice enough, but I couldn’t really give it a full-day test when the color was off. I was traveling, looked online, and found a Walgreens that supposedly had shade 104 in stock. I headed there and to my joy, found that they had 102 as well. 102 is definitely my closest shade, although it’s quite neutral with no pink in it at all. Then, after all this anticipation and the effort of trying to get these shades…I just didn’t fall in love with it as a foundation.
It's got a typical silicone-y feel, fairly liquid, and spreads easily. I’d call the finish natural to dewy. (Right before I posted this I read that Boots is discontinuing CYO completely, the whole line - seems quick since they just launched it last year, but hey. So if you want to try this, get your hands on a bottle ASAP.)

Physician’s Formula healthy foundation, LC1 [glass bottle with wand, SPF 20, 30 mL, ~$12]
This was another YTer rec and I do like it a fair bit. The color range is pitiful, something like 5 shades, but the lightest one is OK on me. You can get a nice natural-looking medium coverage without a lot of fuss.

Flower Beauty light illusion, L1 [glass bottle with pump, no SPF, 30 mL, ~$14] (Walmart & Ulta)
I like the finish of this one, dewy but not greasy. It breaks me out - just a tad, not horribly - and the shade was a bit dark for me earlier this year. They're supposed to have come out with a new lighter shade L0 but I haven't tried it yet.

The winner, for now:
Revlon PhotoReady Candid, 130 Ivory [plastic tube w/ pump, no SPF, ~$10]
As this comes in a tube I was expecting something lighter-weight, but applied with fingers or brush this goes on quite full coverage. In some ways it reminds me of the IT Cosmetics CC cream. I've had success mixing it with a mineral sunscreen to get a tinted moisturizer effect, or applying with a wet sponge for a medium coverage. The finish can look cakey if I don't apply it just perfectly, so that's why it's not a "yay, I adore it" quite yet.
