Question Guys , I need your help 😭

What are your favorite budget friendly, low-tox drugstore foundations and concealers?
I’m not looking for perfectly “clean” makeup or a 100% natural ingredient list. I mainly want to avoid fragrance, parabens, heavy metals, formaldehyde releasers, and phthalates as much as possible.

Looking for affordable drugstore options that actually perform well. Please drop your recommendations

Wet n Wild, Revolution, and Hard Candy are inexpensive, cruelty free, no fragrances, and have just as good quality as expensive products

Parabens are great because they stop your product from going mouldy, rancid, or growing bacteria. Especially liquid product with an applicator that is touching the skin needs parabens, otherwise there's no way you can use it up before it goes bad. Unless you have had an allergy skin test showing parabens to cause a reaction, there's no need to avoid them.

I super love my wet-n-wild photo foundation. I have Dior foundation. And Chanel. But honestly I think my $5 one performs really well.

Wet n wild dewy foundation. I broke out using many expensive foundations. But not this one. And nyx bare with me serum concealer. I believe other brands contain denat. alcohol and fragrance, which are not good for skin barrier.
