Best of all the prices for each of these foundations comes in under $12. So, save the extra money and use it for a fancy latte or a lunch date with your spouse!

Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Makeup covered the red and did not appear caked on. It blended on smoothly and did not leave a line at my jaw where the foundation stopped. I personally used the beige color foundation, but here are many different varieties and colors of foundation so that almost anyone can match their skin tone.

This makes it a great foundation for any type of skin for less than $12.00.
Cover Girl Ultimate Liquid Powder Make-Up is another great makeup foundation that cost wells under $12.00. I originally tried this product because of a commercial. Yes, we all see the adds with the fourteen year old girls with flawless skin applying foundation, but for some reason this product looked new and interesting to me so I decided to give it a try. The price was right at about $7.50. Anything that comes in at under $10 and looks promising is always worth a shot in my book. I also tried Cover Girl Ultimate Liquid Powder Make-Up because it promised to be a foundation and powder in one. For anyone who is not too into applying makeup, this is a great feature. I used the Creamy natural color number 420, which is a great for someone with reasonably fair skin. As usual there are a variety of colors and shades that can match almost any skin color out there. The coverage of this foundation is very good. I use my finger to apply the foundation around my eyes. Best of all this foundation is oil free and comes with a well-respected name like Cover Girl to back it up. Overall I rate this as a top product for makeup foundation under $12.
L’Oreal Cashmere Perfect Soft Powder Crème Makeup is another great makeup foundation for under $12.00. At $11.99 this makeup foundation is one of the pricier in this limited category. Overall I have to say though that it proved the most matte finish of any foundation I have ever used. This makes it great for the summer when you might find the heat outdoors melts your usually reliable makeup away in a matter of minutes. L’Oreal Cashmere Perfect Soft Powder Crème Makeup was great at evening my skin tone and definitely did not look caked on at all. My skin felt incredible soft after using this foundation as well. This is another makeup foundation that eliminates the need to apply powder. L’Oreal Cashmere Perfect Soft Powder Crème Makeup is easy to apply and well worth the price. My skin looked good all day with out reapplication and I would highly recommend this great makeup foundation under $12.
