20 Lightweight Serum Foundations For People Who Hate Make-up

by Arissa Ha  /   July 18, 2018

We get why some people hate putting on foundation, especially if they feel thick and cakey. If you’re looking for a lightweight foundation that freshens your complexion without weighing skin down, these are the foundations you should turn to.

20 Lightweight Serum Foundations For People Who Hate Make-up
#1 Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Encre de Peau Fusion Ink Foundation SPF 18, $89
image

Designed with a feather dropper which dispenses the optimum amount of product, the Yves Saint Laurent Fusion Ink Foundation blends easily and leaves a semi-matte finish which lasts all day.

#2 Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done Hybrid Complexion Perfector SPF 20, $50
image

Blurring the lines between skincare and make-up, the Urban Decay Naked Skin One & Done combines nourishing peptides and vitamins in a lightweight formula. Have we mentioned that it also contains SPF 20?

#3 Stila Aqua Glow Serum Foundation, $77
image

Infused with ionised water, hyaluronic acid and essential minerals, the Stila Aqua Glow Serum Foundation goes on like a dream to hydrate skin while covering imperfections with its buildable medium to full coverage.

#4 Shiseido Synchro Skin Lasting Liquid Foundation SPF 20, $74
image

If we could rank give foundations a rating for their IQ, the Shiseido Synchro Skin Lasting Liquid Foundation would be one of the smartest. It hydrates skin where it needs most, and keeps sebum at bay – adapting to skin’s needs for more even-looking complexion.

#5 NARS All Day Weightless Luminous Foundation, $75
image

If you’re looking for product milage, the NARS All Day Weightless Luminous Foundation will last a long time as you only need one small pump to cover the entire face. It neutralises redness and dullness to give skin a 16-hour long-wearing coverage without feeling like you have any make-up on.

#6 M.A.C Studio Waterweight Foundation SPF 30, $62
image

Ultra fluid and silky to the touch, the M.A.C Studio Waterweight Foundation is best applied with the M.A.C 196 Slanted Flat Top Foundation Brush to achieve the smooth, airbrushed finish. Its sheer to medium coverage allows skin’s natural glow to shine through, while Moisture-Fusion Complex keeps skin hydrated.

#13 FENTY Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, $50
image

There was a lot of hype surrounding Rihanna’s FENTY Beauty launch, and rightfully so, as the pop star decided to make foundation the focus for her launch with 40 different shades. The popular ones are already sold out around Singapore. The Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation has a fluid texture that doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin, and great for daily wear. 

#14 Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Encre De Peau All Hours Foundation, $98
image

Formulated to last through the day the Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Encre De Peau All Hours Foundation feels like nothing on the skin when applied. This medium coverage foundation leaves a soft matte finish and if you want to extend its wear further, use the All Hours Primer as well.  

#15 shu uemura Petal Skin Foundation, $68, Petal 55 foundation brush, $80
image

The shu uemura Petal Skin Foundation and Petal 55 Foundation Brush are like the power couple in foundation. Dense and shaped like a diamond, the Petal 55 Foundation Brush has a large surface area to apply the Petal Skin Foundation without leaving streaks. The tapered sides still allow you to reach tight corners like the sides of your nose easily. The foundation itself is fluid and lightweight, with a buildable medium coverage that helps skin appear fresh and radiant, without the shine.

image

The question that’s probably weighing on everyone’s mind is: “Do you really need a foundation that has 24 hours of wear?” The answer is probably yes. Think about the times you had a full-day wedding to attend, marathon visiting during Chinese New Year or if you just want to look good during your long-haul flight.

#17 Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation , $65
image

The Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation comes in 40 amazing shades and what we love most besides its fluid texture is the fact that it comes in a squeeze dropper bottle instead of pumps – allowing you to control the amount you need for your face. The foundation feels weightless on your skin and covers redness with ease.
