I did experience shininess pretty quickly, especially on my forehead, but that is pretty common for me, no matter what product I am using.The key to faking perfect skin - with or without other makeup - is finding the best foundation formula for your complexion and needs. It provides medium, buildable coverage, and gives a smooth look. I am a fairer olive/yellowy skin tone, and Ulta's find your shade tool on the website helped me choose the 118 Light Beige. The search ended for me with Maybelline's Fit Me foundation. Pros: Affordable Cult-favorite MattifyingĬustomer Review: "Like so many of us, I have had great difficulty finding the right color match for my skin tone. It’s also fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and allergy-tested so it won’t cause any additional breakouts. It has a natural matte finish that leaves you looking fresh and oil-free (not cakey) thanks to the inclusion of clay in its formula. It also gets our hard-earned stamp of approval thanks to the texture, ingredient profile, and longwear. With over 9,000 five-star reviews on Ulta alone, you can feel confident that this crazy affordable foundation is vetted-and loved-by the masses. With this product, you need to build it up in very thin layers." - Sephora It transfers a bit throughout the day but I don’t think the oxidation is as bad as some people say. I don’t like liquid foundation and so this was a really great option for me. It genuinely gives a full coverage pigment, covering any redness associated with acne.Ĭustomer Review: "I’m not a foundation person but I wanted to find something that I could wear daily with a natural finish. But once you start applying it to the skin, you’ll realize it packs a surprising amount of pigment. From a texture standpoint, it looks and feels exactly like a light coverage, tinted serum. But, KVD swooped in and changed the game with a formula that’s unlike anything else on the market. More often than not, full coverage comes at price-one that’s heavy, cakey, and skin suffocating. It can be tricky to find a matte foundation that genuinely feels lightweight. It lasts me all day without touch up, and does not easily slip around my oily zones." - Sephora After skin prep, I put SPF on and then apply this as my foundation, followed by a concealer under my eyes and some sculpting colors. I have combination skin that is oily on my t zone, but dryness around my mouth from retinol. It has replaced my daily foundations (Dior forever skin namely). Pros: Easy to apply Helps with discolorationĬons: Some report that the stick falls out of packagingĬustomer Review: "I wanted a stick foundation for around the house use but was shocked at how this performed. The stick design also makes this ideal for on-the-go application. It’s formulated with sea daffodil extract, which has been shown to fade discoloration and even skin tone. While skincare products like retinol and vitamin C are going to be your best defense at lightening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, this foundation is a close runner-up. Once your pimples have subsided, there’s the inevitable dark spots to contend with. This is a foundation game changer!" - Ulta The shade was so easy to match and lasted all day while in the heat outside. A little goes a long way and isn't the least bit cakey. Pros: Makeup artist-approved Full coverage LightweightĬustomer Review: "I am loving the newly reformulated Lancôme Teinte Ultra Wear foundation! The foundation itself is so light, but provides amazing coverage. Regardless, you’ll reap the benefits of the skincare ingredients (shoutout glycerin) infused into the formula. You’ll have a breathable texture-and even a soft glow. Want something a little lighter? Mix the foundation with your favorite moisturizer and use a makeup sponge to dab it onto the skin. "It's lightweight wearability and full coverage help camouflage texture and hyperpigmentation-I was hooked instantly! An added bonus? It is oil-free and non-comedogenic, making it perfect for acne-prone skin." When applied with a brush, you’ll get full-coverage, uber-matte results. "A current foundation fave in my personal and professional kit is Lancôme’s Teint Idol Ultra Wear 24H Longwear Foundation," says makeup artist Jennifer Fleming.
