4 Moisturiser And Foundation Duos That Work Under Face Masks

These moisturisers and foundations are the perfect pairing that work even with constant mask-wearing

May 23, 2021

Wearing a foundation under a face mask is tricky. For one, putting on and taking off your mask could smudge makeup. Next, when you breathe into the mask, the moisture build up also leads to streakiness. Not pretty. To create an even base that will hold up even with a face mask, you need to consider how your moisturiser might affect the foundation you layer on top and vice versa.

As a rule of thumb, match your water-based moisturiser with water-based foundation. Mixing an oil-based moisturiser with a water-based foundation, for example, can cause makeup to break down over time. To take the guesswork out, here are some of our favourite moisturisers and foundations that stand on their own but work better together.

4 Moisturiser And Foundation Duos That Work Under Face Masks
If you have oily skin: Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation ($71)
image

This cult-favorite that boasts a staying power of 24 hours is oil-free, so it’s not going to clog your pores. We also love how it’s budge-proof, sweat-proof, streak-proof and humidity-resistant. For a natural finish, we recommend using this foundation as a spot cover-up.

Shop here now.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Fluide Oil-Free Moisturiser ($27)
image

This is the perfect daily moisturiser if your skin is on the oilier side. Perfect for minimalists, this water-based formula doubles as a primer to prep your skin for makeup. Don’t be fooled by its $27 price tag — this formula is stacked with skin-loving glycerin and thermal spring water to hydrate skin without weighing it down.

When used together:

Moisturisers are non-negotiable, even on oily complexions. Applying moisturiser on your face throughout the day is the best way to reduce friction between skin and the face mask. For moisturised skin without the shine, reach for this Estée Lauder and La Roche-Posay combination. While the moisturiser will do the heavy lifting to leave skin feeling supple and smooth, the foundation will work to keep you shine-free but moisturised.

If you have dry skin: Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream ($86)
image

This whipped, ceramide-fortified cream is great for prepping skin for makeup.Ingredients like vitamin C, fatty acids and omegas moisturise and plump skin sans greasiness. The best part? It doesn’t roll or peel off under foundation.

Shop here now.

Lancôme's Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation Stick ($43)
image

A little goes a long way with this oil-free complexion-evening stick. It goes on almost powder-like with a matte finish and is transfer-proof and long-wearing.

When used together:

A rich moisturiser paired with a heavy creamy foundation can create too much oil on the surface and cause your base makeup to dissipate over time. Instead, prime your skin with a comforting moisturiser like this one from Drunk Elephant to soften dry patches before using a stick foundation. Stick foundation glides on effortlessly over moisturising whipped cream to create the perfect canvas.

Shop here now.

If you have mature skin: Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream ($33.90)
image

With its fast-absorbing watery-gel texture, it’s hard to believe just how many benefits it delivers. Made with 63.4% hydrolysed collagen, this formula firms and adds volume while locking in moisture. This cream strikes the right balance between hydrating skin for a luminous finish without compromising the layers that go on after.

Shop here now.

Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation ($122.50)
image

Concealing wrinkles will only do the reverse and accentuate them. To even out skin tone, reach for a sheer, hydrating foundation like this one from Chantecaille. This oil-free formula is sheer but you can always apply more layers for added overage.

When used together:

Heavy moisturisers just don’t work with makeup. This is why we like the Etude House Moistful Collagen Cream that primes skin nicely and enhances skin’s natural glow to make this Chantecaille foundation look even better.

Shop here now.

If you have Mask-ne: Clinique Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly ($60)
image

Perfect for acne-prone skin, this lightweight jelly moisturiser leaves skin soft and hydrated (never sticky or greasy), thanks to its cocktail of cucumber and hyaluronic acid.

Shop here now.

It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation ($62)
image

This lighter-than-air yet buildable formula blends seamlessly into skin without settling into fine lines or dry patches. And since this formula is non-comedogenic, it won’t irritate breakouts or break down at the sight of sweat or humidity.

When used together:

The Clinique jelly moisturiser serves as a great base for this hyaluronic acid and aloe infused foundation. Since it is oil-free, whatever you put over it won’t slip and slide around.
