I’m so excited to be bringing back foundation videos, first impressions, and reviews. Foundation is one of my favorite products to try out. For a little background, I have dry skin and I prefer medium to full coverage liquid foundations. I usually apply foundations with a damp beauty sponge or with a flat top brush.

Included in the Best Budget Cruelty-Free Foundations video:

ELF Flawless Finish Foundation

This liquid foundation from ELF has a natural semi-matte finish and buildable coverage. This foundation is scented and that might be an issue for some, but it disappears quickly and looks great on the skin. Currently, this foundation comes in 40 shades and retails for $6.00 USD. ELF is cruelty-free and also completely vegan. You can find this foundation on the ELF website, as well as at Ulta, Target, Walmart, and iHerb.

NYX Born To Glow Naturally Radiant Foundation

This liquid foundation from NYX is a buildable medium-coverage foundation that has a glow to it. It’s one of my favorites and I think think it’s a decent dupe for the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. Currently, this foundation comes in 45 shades and retails for $10.00 USD. NYX is cruelty-free (but their parent company is not) with lots of vegan options. You can find this foundation on the NYX website, as well as at Ulta, Target, Cult Beauty, Walmart, and ASOS.

ELF Acne Fighting Foundation

This liquid foundation from ELF is one of the best matte foundations on a budget. Even though it has ingredients like tea tree oil and salicylic acid, it’s not too harsh for dry skin. Currently, this foundation comes in 6 shades and retails for $6.00 USD. ELF is cruelty-free and also completely vegan. You can find this foundation on the ELF website, as well as at Ulta, Target, and Adore Beauty.

Pacifica Alight Foundation

This cruelty-free liquid foundation from Pacifica is made to blur pores and last all day while using better for you ingredients. What I love about this foundation is that it looks like your skin but better. Currently, this foundation comes in 30 shades and retails for $16.00 USD. Pacifica is cruelty-free and also completely vegan. You can find this foundation on the Pacifica website, as well as at Ulta and Target. This product was sent by the brand for consideration.

Milani Conceal + Perfect Stick Foundation

This cruelty-free stick foundation from Milani is made to work as a foundation and a concealer. It claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines, pores, blemishes, and discoloration. I love how easy this foundation is to blend and it has great coverage. Currently, this foundation comes in 20 shades and retails for $9.99 USD. Milani is cruelty-free with lots of vegan options. You can find this foundation on the Milani website, as well as at Walmart and Beauty Bay. This product was sent by the brand for consideration.
