I'm finishing up my fourth bottle of this foundation and I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! This stuff is really great. I have normal to dry skin that can sometimes be sensitive. This foundation makes my skin look dewy and healthy. If you are an individual with very oily skin, this may be too dewy for you.  I live in the US and we don't have the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation but I feel like this foundation does a good job in waking up my skin and making me look radiant.  We also don't have the bottles with the pump, but that's okay because I use a sponge anyways.  It sets nicely and lasts around 8 hours and even longer if I top it off with powder.  It sells for around $7-8 but I try and get it when the drug stores have a BOGO 50% off sale so that I can stock up.  I am NC20 in MAC foundation and the True Ivory matches me perfectly.  I haven't noticed any oxidizing with this foundation (unlike the Lasting Finish where I need to use a primer in order to prevent this) so that also is a plus. It does have a light scent and I tend to be sensitive to smells but it is not bothersome or migraine-inducing for me.

Hello Ladies, finally have the time to talk about the 5$ Foundation!!! I’ve been testing this foundation for a entire week and I discovered this one thanks to my mom, I’m a high end makeup girl but I love trying new things, finally I have a review for this baby! This foundation becomes my favorite foundation ever! The most important thing for me was that I didn’t got a allergic reaction. It’s pretty hydrating perfect if you have dry skin, people was asking “what foundation are you wearing?” All the time. It does looks FLAWLESS and I think it’s a good dupe for the Giorgio Armani Silk Foundation or but better since it has more coverage and also looks a little bit similar to the Nars new foundation , It’s a long lasting, you don’t even need to set this foundation with I really appreciate. Also works great if you want to mix it!!! (Fun fact: I didn’t know about this brand, now I need to try more!!!) #skincare #skincareroutine #makeup #beautyblogger #cosmetics #beautyproducts #instaskin #instabeauty #lifestyle #face #makeup

This foundation is a bit difficult to get out of the bottle due to it's a bit thick! It's really easy to apply. I prefer to apply it with a dry makeup sponge because it give me more coverage, if I wet the sponge it sheers it out a bit. I wouldn't recommend using a brush as it leaves marks or streaks. It isn't the best for covering ance scars or any scabbyness if you picked at a pimple. That will still be visible. Works great for covering redness in the skin! It blends easily. Also stays slightly tacky for a few minutes so I just top it the coty airspun powder and it's fine. Does disappear off my nose pretty fast! Doesn't clog my pores or make me break out!

I've been using this product for 4 years. It goes on smooth. The pros to me is that it isn't too shiny and it isn't too matte. I do not need to use any powder after using. It makes my face moisturized but not greasy. I have used 3 different colors (depending how tan I am ) and they're very natural colors. This is what I'd call a medium coverage foundation. It's not too heavy,but enough to cover light blemishes and and a few freckles.

I used this foundation several times because I needed it for a performance and it was the cheapest one at the drugstore. I got the second lightest shade which was very orange and much darker than my natural skin tone. I ended up having to blend it all down my neck because of how unnatural-looking it was. On top of that, the foundation was sticky on my face and had a very strong floral scent that I didn't like. It has good coverage which is probably the only thing it has going for it.

This is my favorite drugstore foundation. I previously used urban decay's naked skin and much prefer this. It is very affordable just under 6$. It also has pore blurring aspects which I enjoy so my skin looks flawless. It is pretty long wearing, I notice it start to fade around the 10-12 hr mark which I think is pretty good overall for drugstore foundation. The price cannot be beat! There are a lot of shades in the range as well. I personally have dry skin but feel this foundation does not make that stand out as well. The only con I have with it is I wish the foundation had a pump but other then that 10/10. Have been wearing this foundation for 1.5 years and don't plan to switch anytime soon. 

For $5, I got one of the best foundations I’ve ever used. It gives the skin a nice glow. The coverage is low, so it’s good for a “no makeup” makeup look. I have oily skin, so it does get a little greasy, but I feel like it doesn’t look terrible. If you’re thinking about getting it, go for it. It’s affordable and quite nice.

This foundation is only 5$! I normally have a hard time finding a drug store foundation that doesn’t look orange on my skin. This foundation matches my skin tone perfectly! I’m so impressed with this foundation! It has buildable coverage! It hides my skin imperfections well! This is a great drug store foundation!

My holy grail of foundations for sure! This isn’t heavy- but full coverage. It keeps my face matte throughout the day, and is great for combination skin. A little goes a long way. And I will definitely continue to purchase!

This has been my main foundation for the past 2 or 3 years because it has good coverage yet still looks natural. It lasts most of the day and does t get patchy. It would say it is excellent value for the price you pay.
