Whether you want something matte, dewy, full coverage, or sheer—foundation is the backbone of any beautiful makeup look. Of course, there are so many options on the market, it can be hard to pick which one is best for you. Formulas are created to suit different skin types and skin tones, and it takes some digging to find your perfect fit. Here, our favorite foundations will help narrow down your options.
1.Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup $42
If you want a perfect finish, fast, you need a foundation that offers more coverage and this is it. The formula smooths over everything from acne to redness. A classic satin finish, not too matte, not too dewy. Full Coverage, but apply it with a makeup sponge and you can sheer it out a little. Over 60 shades. Yesssss Estée Lauder! This formula stays in place for up to 12 hours, so go ahead and plough through your day without having to touch up.
2.Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Make-Up $28.5
Clinique’s oil-free offering contains laminaria saccharina extract, which helps regulate sebum production, and willow bark extract, which absorbs oil from the skin’s surface. It feels light and keeps skin shine-free. 16 shades. Finish: Matte. Coverage: Sheer to medium.
3.MAC Studio Face & Body Foundation $27
If you’re looking for a sheer coverage foundation that leaves your skin looking fresh and dewy, it doesn’t get much better than MAC’s Face & Body foundation. This liquid formula doesn’t do much to cover up blemishes, but it acts as a buildable face tint and gloss, delivering a radiant finish that makes your skin look bouncy and healthy. (It also works if you want a little bit of coverage on your neck, shoulders, chest, and décolleté.) Because it’s so sheer, there isn’t a huge shade range. If you’re unable to find an exact match, you can generally get away with blending out a shade that’s slightly lighter or darker.
4.No7 Stay Perfect Foundation $15.9
This super long wearing base has SPF, is hypo-allergenic and feels lightweight. Everything you need from a trusty everyday foundation.
There are 17 shades to choose from and the formula glides onto skin leaving it feeling smooth and soft, whilst looking even-toned and radiant. Not only will you love the finish, you’ll also love the price. At £15 a bottle it’s a steal.
Above are top foundations that many people choose online. Chose one suitable for you. Hoping more shinning beauty for you!
