OMG!!! This is so extensive:) very useful.thanks for segregating budget wise…
great compilation – but I think Kryolan paint stick foundation qualifies for a budget fullcoverage foundation.
Very helpful post, Archiving it for reference
Fav budget full coverage foundation has to b kryolan ultra.. C it to believe it. Also fav powder highlighter has to b Lancôme moonlight rose. Just too gorgeous n also mac msf- gold deposit
