From the recent release of a Zodiac makeup collection to its Internet favorite eyeshadow primer, Wet n’ Wild has often earned praise for its beauty on a budget options. After literally dazzling us with a must-have $3 highlighter, the brand has earned the official seal of approval from Reddit for its $5 foundation.

In a post to the beauty tip goldmine that is r/makeupaddiction, Redidt user Wsh1 shared a recent Wet n' Wild find that she can't get enough of. For the post, she shared an image of Wet n' Wild's Photo Focus Foundation ($4.39), writing, "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!"

Others also chimed in with their experience using the product, writing, "Best coverage versus lightweight I have tried so far!" and "I have oily skin and it works perfectly as a great coverage without looking cakey foundation." One user also shared they had previously tried other department store brands of foundation, but that Reddit's post had convinced them to try the product as well. "The foundation is so easy to blend," they wrote.

The foundation is currently available in 20 shades on the Wet 'n Wild site, and comes with a spatula for application. Along with the affordable pricing option, the brand is also cruelty-free.

Of course, finding your perfect foundation shade is a process, and it's important to remember that different brands and products will look and act differently on your skin. In the search to finding you true foundation match, begin with research. Use websites like Temptalia or Findation to find possible products and don't be afraid to get creative with swatching.
