Best concealer: Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Concealer, $45
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – EDITORS’ CHOICE

A blendable, breathable concealer that blurs away imperfections with its XL applicator and precision tip – a tiny bit does the job. It settles into a matte finish that lasts up to 24 hours – no cracking, clumping or creasing – and doesn’t budge against sweat, humidity and mask wearing. In 20 shades.

Best concealer: Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer, $63
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – READERS’ CHOICE

This well-pigmented concealer blends easily and layers well, hiding dark circles, localised redness and blemishes. The sponge tip makes targeted application a breeze, and just a small amount is needed to hide dark circles and spots. Its buildable coverage offers 24 hours of long-wear. In 10 shades.

Best cushion foundation for radiance: Armani Beauty Designer Essence-in-balm Mesh Cushion SPF50/ PA+++, $120
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – EDITORS’ CHOICE

An innovative balm-essence foundation that leaves a translucent veil, which covers redness, freckles and the odd post-acne scar. The high SPF gets a big thumbs-up. In four shades.

Best cushion foundation for radiance: Lancome Teint Clarifique Cushion Light Coverage SPF34/PA++, $75
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – READERS’ CHOICE

The lightweight foundation in one single shade makes skin look fresh and radiant without feeling heavy. The buildable coverage doesn’t cake or crease, even with midday touch-ups.

Best cushion foundation for matte skin: Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Le Cushion Encre De Peau 2020, $102
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – EDITORS’ CHOICE

The medium-coverage foundation makes skin look flawless, radiant, smooth and hydrated. It blurs enlarged pores and fine lines, and covers blemishes, redness and dark circles. In eight shades.

Best cushion foundation for matte skin: Estee Lauder Double Wear Soft Glow Cushion Foundation SPF45/PA+++, $90
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – READERS’ CHOICE

Offering 24-hour buildable medium to full coverage, this gives skin a glowy yet matte finish. It hides redness and lasts all day even without a primer. We like that the non-acnegenic formula won’t clog pores. In six shades.

Best liquid foundation: Lancome Teint Clarifique Foundation SPF25/ PA+++, $68
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – EDITORS’ CHOICE

The lightweight foundation hydrates and refines skin. The buildable light-to- medium coverage gives a natural finish and doesn’t oxidise, giving skin a lovely, healthy glow. In nine shades.

Best liquid foundation: Shu Uemura Unlimited Glow Breathable Care-in Foundation SPF18/PA+++, $74
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – EDITORS’ CHOICE

You get a natural, glowy sheen with this foundation that helps hydrate and clarify skin. It spreads well, covering redness and unevenness, and lasts with almost no oxidisation. In 24 shades.

Best liquid foundation: Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear, $88
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – READERS’ CHOICE

A creamy yet lightweight foundation with a sheer, natural finish that lasts up to 12 hours, this creases and oxidises minimally, and gives skin a soft, hydrated glow. In 25 shades.

Best stick foundation: M.A.C Studio Fix Soft Matte Foundation Stick, $59
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – EDITORS’ CHOICE

An on-the-go multi- tasking foundation that evens skin tone, and helps contour and highlight with buildable medium coverage. The ultra- blendable formula offers a velvety matte finish that won’t crease, settle, cake or clog pores, and lasts up to 24 hours. If you don’t have time to layer on foundation and concealer, just swipe on, tap and blend. In 33 shades.

Best stick foundation: Benefit Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation SPF20/ PA+++, $55
image

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE – READERS’ CHOICE

Offers medium, waterproof coverage that withstands heat and humidity, yet doesn’t feel heavy on skin. It blends easily and smoothly, even if you use your fingers. Works well as a concealer too. Better suited to oilier skin though. In 10 shades.
