In a post to r/makeupaddiction, Reddit user Wsh1 shared the foundation she’s currently obsessed with, TeenVogue reports. Sharing an image of Wet n’ Wild’s Photo Focus Foundation ($6), Wsh1 goes on to write, “The cheapest foundation (under $5!) yet it wears just as beautifully (for 11 hours thus far) as all other ones I’ve tried! My combination-oily skin was blown away!”
In response to her post, multiple people threw in their two cents about the product as well, with responses like “Best coverage versus lightweight I have tried so far!” and “Hands down the best foundation I’ve ever tried!” flooding the thread.
Now, it shouldn’t be too surprising that this foundation has such a strong following. According to the brand, the “high-performing, skin-perfecting foundation underwent major road testing under seven different photo lighting conditions to deliver flawless camera-ready makeup every time.” Translation: the foundation uses a light-diffusing complex to give skin a flawless finish regardless of the intensity of the light you’re in, meaning it’ll look perfect in natural light and in front of a camera flash.
All in all, the formula is cruelty-free, available in 20 shades and comes at a super affordable price point, so you can slather on the makeup completely guilt-free. Below, check out a few of our favorite looks using the Photo Focus Foundation:
