Liquid Foundation by Almay, Truly Lasting Color, Long Wearing Natural Finish, Vitamin E and Lemon Extract, Hypoallergenic, Cruelty Free, Dermatologist Tested, 220 Neutral, 1 oz

This is the best drug store foundation for extremely fair-skinned women, in my opinion. It matches my skin tone perfectly (which is difficult to do-- I tried 32 foundations in preparation for my wedding!). It gives me a dewy look at first but becomes more matte over time. I apply it with a Beauty Blender, but it goes on fine with your fingers too. I use a lot more when applying by hand. The coverage isnt 100% and doesnt last ALL day, but if you want that type of coverage for this skin tone you should expect to pay a lot more. (If youre going that route, I recommend BECCA products- their lightest color is the lightest Ive seen on the market and although application is trickier, it really does provide full coverage for 12+ hours) This is perfect for everyday wear because it feels light, doesnt get cakey, slimey, or greasy, and lasts a solid 8+ hours for me. Pairs well over or under concealers, too.

Love the coverage. Long lasting. Great shade for ivory skin tone, no pink color in it! Please continue to carry this foundation in this color.

Ive been wearing Almay foundation for many years and like the natural coverage and it doesnt irritate my skin.

A little thick

Im picky. Or maybe my skin is picky. Its very fair, very sensitive and prone to redness. For this reason I hadnt been able to find a foundation that works for my skin until I tried this. A lot of foundations seem to cling to dry patches I didnt even know I had on my face, and I end up looking worse than I did without makeup. This foundation really is amazing. Doesnt irritate my skin, doesnt cause any breakouts and looks really natural. The Ivory may be a tad too dark for my really white skin in the winter (mixed with a little moisturizer fixes this issue for me) but probably will just right for the summer. I would say this is maybe light to medium coverage. It looks like my skin but better, which is probably what we all want when wearing foundation. And the price is so reasonable, considering Ive paid much more on a ton of other foundations. If your skin is like mine and youre on the fence, try it. Its worth the price for what it does.

I have been using Almay products for 45 years because my skin is hyper sensitive. As the orifices changed, I changed my choices within the company. At 71 I still use their liquid foundation and powder to cover any blemishes in my skin. Everyone remarks that I look at least 10 years younger than my age.

I use to use Clinque foundation, but found it didnt cover like I wanted. With the price I was paying ($27), I wanted something with at least moderate coverage so it would help cover up my rosacea. I came across Almay in my local store and thought I would give it a try. I can say that this covers just like my Clinque did, but for half the price! It stays on all day which is a big bonus for me since I have really oily skin. I put the foundation on in the morning and set it with a translucent powder. It doesnt cover everything, but I use a primer first and then use this Almay Truly Lasting foundation. I can say I honestly like it better than Clinque(although I still use some of their products) and its half the price. I will definitely stay with Almay!

Ive been using this foundation for years. It provides good color and coverage. I do add a drop of moisturizer and mix it together before applying to my face. It spreads better that way. It is reasonably priced and works well for my sensitive skin. Expensive is not always better.

Great for sensitive skin

I have been using this makeup for years (Im 71) and it blends in so nicely and you can hardly tell you have makeup on! I have sensitive skin and this has never bothered my skin.
