7 Best Foundations For Flawless Skin

Foundation is literally the basis of a properly made-up face. But what looks and feels good on one person may not work for someone else. I also think it’s a good idea, depending on your lifestyle, to have a few different foundations to choose from, depending on where you're going and what you’re doing. For example, if you’re running errands, you probably don’t need the same kind of coverage as you would for a late night out. Here are some of the best foundations for every skin type.

If you have combination or oily skin and need a full-coverage matte foundation that lasts as long as a tattoo and is great for photos, then Lock-It foundation is for you. This vegan formula is also free of parabens and phthalates. The formula is a little thick but applies easily with a beauty blender.

Best For: Combination/Oily Skin Types

This is one of the best foundations I’ve ever tried. The texture isn’t comparable to anything else out there. Instead of a pump, the liquid is dispensed with a dropper. Formulated to minimize pores and control oil, it’s ideal for every day because it contains SPF 15. It’s so light on the skin, it really feels as if you aren’t wearing foundation at all.

Best For: Combination/Oily and Normal Skin Types

If you want light coverage that’s buildable to medium coverage and won’t fade, or you simply prefer a powder formula, lilah b gets the job done. Made with aloe and agar, it won’t dry out the skin like some powder foundations can. Beautifully packaged, just apply with a powder brush. It’s also easy to use on the go.

Best For: All Skin Types

If you like to use foundation but absolutely hate the way it feels on your skin, then you will love this product. It truly feels like you aren’t wearing any at all.
