Her World Beauty Awards 2020: Best foundations
Best second-skin creamy foundation: Cle de Peau Beaute Radiant Cream to Powder Foundation, $140
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

It creates the illusion of soft, clear skin with its natural-looking finish. We find the best way to apply the pressed cream is with a damp makeup blender. There’s no need for primer as the silky foundation smooths out fine lines and pores.

Best second-skin creamy foundation: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser, $77
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

The tinted moisturiser dispenses as a lightweight cream and feels like a second skin. It provides light, sheer coverage with a natural finish.

Best second-skin luminous foundation: Shu Uemura Unlimited Breathable Lasting Foundation, $72
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice & Readers’ Choice

It hugs the skin and isn’t heavy or cakey. It’s easily blendable – even with your fingers – and coverage lasts all day without streaking. While it doesn’t cover dark spots fully, it does brighten the under-eye area slightly.

Best second-skin foundation: Revlon Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation, $27.90
image

Drugstore – Editor’s Choice

It gives medium coverage that holds up reasonably well against sebum and sweat, while giving skin a natural-looking finish. For the smoothest coverage, apply with a makeup blender.

Best second-skin foundation: L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation, $32.90
image

Drugstore – Readers’ Choice

We like the easy-to-blend texture and buildable coverage. It earns extra credit for lasting through the day and not oxidising.

Best matte cushion foundation: YSL Beaute All Hours Cushion, $92
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice & Readers’ Choice

Skin looks truly matte yet natural at the same time. The foundation gives high coverage and conceals imperfections, from redness to blemishes.

Best matte cushion foundation: Vdivov Double Stay Cushion, $44
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

It gives full coverage and conceals pores with a smooth, hydrating finish, even though it’s a matte foundation.

Best radiance-boosting cushion foundation: Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Cushion Foundation, $56
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

It gives a glowy, radiance to skin, and we didn’t see the need to use a concealer. Makeup stays fresh for at least eight hours too.

Best radiance-boosting cushion foundation: Lancome Absolue Cushion, $140
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

This cushion foundation makes skin look healthier and more radiant. It has a lightweight texture that works best when applied with a damp sponge rather than a brush.

Best matte liquid foundation: Giorgio Armani Beauty Power Fabric Longwear High Cover Foundation, $90
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

Add this to your foundation wardrobe: It smooths out easily on skin, leaving it with excellent matte coverage. The foundation lasts about nine hours before skin starts to look greasy and a touch-up is needed.

Best matte liquid foundation: Dior Forever, $85
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

There is a consistent medium coverage over the skin, and you need to use just a very small amount of the liquid foundation. It blends easily and offers highly moisturising coverage throughout the day.

Best radiance-boosting liquid foundation: Dior Forever Skin Glow, $85
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice & Readers’ Choice

An all-time favourite among beauty editors and makeup artists, the lightweight formula melts into skin, giving it a semi-matte finish for that airbrushed look. It gives a subtle glow and skin feels hydrated and comfortable all day.

Most long-lasting foundation: Chanel Ultra Le Teint Flawless Finish Foundation, $88
image

Department/Specialty Store – Editor’s Choice

Despite its medium to high coverage, it does not cake – even around areas like under the eyes and around the base of the nose. The colour stays true for at least 10 hours before very slight caking around the pores.

Most long-lasting foundation: It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Color Correcting Full Coverage Cream, $62
image

Department/Specialty Store – Readers’ Choice

More a CC cream than a foundation, it nevertheless delivers a lightweight and natural-looking finish.
