As you can probably tell from my massive collection of drugstore makeup products I’m most definitely not a makeup snob – in fact I enjoy shopping for bargain drugstore goodies waaay more than high-end stuff. And not just cos it stops me breaking out in a cold sweat when my bank account statement arrives in the post :)Though I must admit that when it comes to foundations I generally find that the super cheap brands (2true, Natural Collection, 17, Miss Sporty, Collection 2000 etc) just aren’t great quality. I’ve tried dozens of their foundations over the years and there have been a few gems but most head straight for the bin after a couple of uses
An exception to the rule is Perfect Finish liquid foundation by Collection 2000. Now this is never going to be my absolute favourite product or anything but I’m just amazed that we can get such an incredible product for £3.99 (£4.99 in Boots in case you were wondering!)
When I first tried using this I was soo disappointed by the texture cos it was really runny. I then gave the bottle a little shake which did the trick – the texture is like thick double cream and glides on extremely easily
Pros
Comes with a pump dispenser. This is actually an important factor for me; I can’t stand glass bottles where you have to pour some of the product out to use it
The coverage is light to medium and is very buildable so you can be as light or heavy handed as you wish
You know how some foundations just look like a mask? This looks like skin. Completely natural and slightly dewy
Doesn’t set quickly so you have loads of time to work this into the skin, ensuring its well blended and you don’t have that dreaded “foundation line” around the jaw and chin!
Feels exceptionally light, almost like you aren’t wearing anything at all
SPF 20… I’m sure we’ve all heard how important it is to use an SPF foundation or moisturiser every day
It costs £3.99 in Superdrug. Seriously. £3.99
Cons
Not particularly long lasting. After about 8 hours I feel like I need to touch up or reapply
Only comes in 6 different shades
Coverage is only light/medium so definitely needs to be used in conjunction with a concealer to hide dark circles or blemishes
Wore this without a primer a few days ago and it sunk into my pores, making them very noticeable

great review, I've been debating whether to try this one, but was put off because the last one of theres I tried, Lasting Perfection was horrible. For the small price I'll give it a go xxx
Brilliant Pro's! A little disappointed about the noticebale pores, don't you ust hate when they show up like craters?!

i just reviewed this foundation too, and i'm a big fan :) It does a great job for the price, well worth having one of these!

Hmm I might try this out! I've had mixed reviews and because it's not expensive, i've notgot much to lose so I might give it a go! :) xxx
Jo Woods I bought lasting perfection ages ago and still haven’t got round to trying it! Keep meaning to apply it when I’m not planning on heading out anywhere (in case it’s horrible!) so I’ll do that over the weekend
Leah my pores have actually been fairly good for a change and the last thing I need is foundation making them look massive – if I’m wearing this I always opt for a primer first! ♥
T.Rose I’m gonna have a wee nosy to see if we had the same experience with it :)
