My absolute favorite drugstore foundation is: Sally Hansen brand liquid makeup. It goes on very smoothly, does not "flake" off, and they have realistic colors without pink or orange in them.

I have fair-medium skin coloring with yellow undertones, and I use the color called "Beach". It matches my skin coloring exactly. The only other brand that came close to matching my skin coloring was Prescriptives at more than four times the cost. The Sally Hansen is about $7.00 a bottle.

For me, every brand of "ivory" is too light for me, but then, the next color up is too dark....except for the Sally Hansen Brand...I can't rave enough about it, lol

Let me know if you try it what you think!

I bought some Corn Silk powder today that is made by Sally Hansen (or actually I think they just bought it out or something), I heard that it is very good. Is this the same line, the Corn Silk line? Or does it say something else? Oh and I also have that problem where the lightest shade is usually too light, but the next shade is too dark, but I have pink undertones, not yellow. I will have to look at it next time I'm at the store. Thanks.

I think you are right, Sally Hansen either bought out Corn Silk, or vice-versa...not sure which way, lol.

I don't think the products are exactly the same though. Next time you're in the store, you might want to try the Sally Hansen liquid foundation...either the sheer (in a tube) or the liquid in the bottle. The color "beach" might actually work very well for you...if you have pink undertones and want to get the "pink" out & even out your skintone. Let us know if you try it!

I adore Jane. It's one of 3 foundations that match my skin tone well. The others are really expensive. It also wears a long time.
