Foundations: How to Find Your Perfect Match

● Beauty Bag Staple: A MUA favorite, TARTE’s Amazonian Clay Stick Foundation offers natural coverage that looks just like your own skin. The buildable powder-to-liquid formula melts onto skin for a creamy, cake-free finish.

● Long-Lasting Coverage: For a soft matte finish with buildable medium to full coverage, the Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA comes in an oil-free formula that’s so lightweight it looks undetectable on the skin, but still provides a flawless finish. With an incredible 50 shades to choose from, you’ll be sure to find the perfect match for you.

● Virtual Perfection: For instant full coverage that isn’t drying for the skin, check out Vanish Seamless Finish Liquid Foundation from Hourglass. The innovative and weightless formula acts like a second skin to provide a smooth and flawless finish. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly and build up as required for soft-focus perfection.

Best for Oily Skin

● Full Coverage Look: For a foundation that works around the clock, Dior’s Diorskin Forever Foundation offers 24 coverage from dawn to dusk. The texture is thick and creamy, but it isn’t heavy on the skin, creating a luminous matte finish and shine-free application, whatever conditions you subject your skin to.

● Insta-Worthy Glow: Perfect for covering imperfections and evening out skin texture, the #FauxFilter Foundation by Huda Beauty is sitting pretty at the top of the beauty charts. Packed with ultra-refined pigments to give skin an airbrushed, almost filter-like finish, the foundation gives medium to full coverage, depending on preference. This foundation is a total game changer for the social age.

● Pressed Powder Finish: Clinique’s Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder has become a cult beauty classic for a reason - the ultra-sheer texture of this pressed powder provides a matte appearance without clogging up pores. Perfect for touching up oily patches throughout the day, the finish offers sheer to moderate coverage.

Best for Dry Skin

● Radiant Glow: Masking shine while still delivering a radiant glow is a tough balance to strike, but Born This Way Foundation by TOO FACED promises the perfect compromise. The oil-free and medium coverage formula will keep grease at bay, while still ensuring skin-balancing hydration for a smoother and brighter complexion.

● Sheer Perfection: Thanks to its hydrating effect and illuminating properties, Nars Sheer Glow Foundation is perfect for those with dry skin. To create a youthful dewy finish, the sheer coverage is lightweight enough to feel weightless but still covers imperfections without clinging to any dry and flaky patches.

● Moisture Boost: For long-lasting coverage and hydrating ingredients, this Laura Mercier Silk Creme Moisturizing Photo Edition Foundation is great for everyday wear. The color-true pigments are virtually undetectable when applied to your skin creating a radiant finish.
