When it comes to choosing base makeup, most of us would be happy in one of two categories. You either have a stockpile of beloved tried-and-true formulas you would rather die than part with or you’re still tirelessly searching for that perfect fit, if there is such a thing. Sadly, I remain in the latter category, swatching and testing as many options as I can with the hope of meeting my heaven-sent match. That’s why I’m already prepared to try whatever new drugstore foundation drops in 2020.
For starters, I don’t want to splurge on something that may or may not work for my skin tone or type. At the same time, I don’t want to sacrifice quality for affordability. Thankfully, there are select drugstore options that check both boxes. Even if you already have a go-to, you may just discover these newbie bases are too good to pass up. From a skincare-infused liquid formula to a concealer that protects against pollution, blue light exposure and UV rays, here’s what we can look forward to in the New Year.
