"Do you have any recommendations for a cheap/drugstore foundation that doesn't look cakey and blends flawlessly? Powder or liquid is fine, something that can be put on in a rush would be fab. Thank you so much : )"

Bourjois Healthy Mix is my absolute favorite so far! It’s matte, has pretty good coverage, seldom ever looks cake-y, and feels really light. I can just smear this on with my fingers when I’m in a rush, and it just looks like clean, even skin. The tricky part is that it’s not really cheap in some regions (outside of the EU).
I also like Revlon Colorstay. It’s great if you need more coverage as it still looks like skin, not a mask (provided you buy the right shade). But I find it a bit heavy for daily wear, so I mix it with some sunblock lotion, and it goes on sheerer, but still lasts most of the day.
I can wear both of these without any powder when I’m in a rush.
For powder, this is not a drugstore foundation, but I love Everyday Minerals (Matte formula) mineral foundations. They’ve got a fantastic shade range, and the matte formula is light, non-shiny, easy to apply very quickly, and has great coverage.
