Comfortable wear and superb staying power are hallmarks of a good foundation. A great foundation, however, has all that – and advanced makeup tech mixed in

Multi-tasking foundations that do more for your skin
The powder foundations that never look cakey

The keyword here is “never”. Conventional powder foundations can be tricky to handle – go overboard and your skin will end up looking dry and powdery.

However, the latest and greatest powder foundations have perfected the art of providing a soft matte finish without leeching all the moisture from your skin.

Cle de Peau Beaute Cream Eclat

The Cle de Peau Beaute Cream Eclat foundation adheres perfectly to the skin. You have its double-blotting powder to thank for that.

The foundation first absorbs oil from your skin and combines it with the oils in the product, which then collectively evaporate from the skin. What’s left behind: moisture and powder for a silky, soft-matte finish.

In 10 shades, $140 each.

The foundations that are an extension of your skincare

These days, many makeup products don’t just stop at making you pretty. They’re also infused with ingredients to nourish your skin throughout the day.

They function like an extra step of skincare, so looking after your complexion needn’t stop when your makeup goes on.

The foundations with stretchable pigments
image

Many people fall into the trap of thinking that high-coverage foundations are heavy on the skin. That may have been true in the past.

These days, however, there’s no lack of highly-pigmented formulas that blend out to a lightweight, skin-like finish.

In other words, you can use as little product as possible while getting as much coverage as possible.

In 24 shades, $72 each.
