It’s often believed that to get flawless looking skin you’ll have to splash your cash on a high end foundation. However, here at STELLAR HQ we’re firm believers that a nice foundation doesn’t have to break the bank. Although we do love our MAC Studio Fix and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, thanks to the ever growing world of cosmetics we can get our hands on some fab products for a fraction of the high end prices.

We’ve rounded up some ‘drugstore’ foundations that, in our opinion, are just as good as their more pricey competitors. From matte to dewy finish and every coverage under the sun, here are the 12 foundations that will have you looking amazing for a pretty penny.
