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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
