Best Foundations Ever For All Skin Types

Have you found ‘the one’ yet? Of course, we’re talking about finding the best foundation for your skin type. Unfortunately there’s no one size fits all when it comes to acing your base and with so many types of coverage and finishes it can be tricky finding your perfect match.

No matter what your skin type - oily, dry, combination - there's a powerhouse foundation for you.

How we choose the best face foundations
When narrowing down the very best foundations, we're looking for the formulas that tick all the boxes; coverage, staying power, blendability, shade range and bonus skincare benefits. Of course, your reviews play an important part too, when a foundation racks up all those five star reviews, we pay attention. Side note: If you're looking for something that won't break the bank, there's some impressively low-priced options in here too.

You’ll find even more foundations here and if you’re still not sure which one’s right for you, use our handy foundation finder tool to narrow the search.

What to look for in a foundation

• Consider your skin type. If your skin is typically dry, look for a foundation that uses hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid - this will help give your complexion a healthy, dewy finish. For oily and spot-prone skin, opt for oil-free and non-comedogenic bases to curb excess shine. Combination skin can be hard to please, but your best bet would be an oil-free formula that’s made with hydrating ingredients so you can nourish drier areas of your skin without clogging oilier patches.

• What type of finish do you prefer? This will help you narrow down the search. Whether you like a radiant glow, a velvety matte effect or a subtle hint of coverage, think about what look you want to achieve before you start scrolling.

• Ease of application. Are you likely to wear your foundation over a primer? Do you take the time to blend in with a foundation brush? Or, are you more inclined to quickly apply with your fingers? Different foundations will lend themselves better to different application methods - at a glance, full coverage formulas will usually need more patience to blend in properly with a brush or beauty sponge while lightweight, sheer options only need the warmth of your fingers for a natural-looking finish.
