Picking the right foundation can be tricky. Your best bet is to go to a store like Sephora and try out a variety of products in your shade range. In the meantime, here's a rundown of our 10 favorite tried and true foundations.
1. Best Foundation Stick: Bobbi Brown
Foundation sticks are great for covering blotchy skin and were made for women on the run who need a quick fix. They provide on-the-spot coverage in a flash and there's no better product than Bobbi Brown. Make sure you blend in product after applying.
2. Best Pricey Foundation: Chanel
Flawless. Chanel products go on smooth and aren't drying (but they also don't add oil to your already oily skin). A plus is most come with an SPF of at least 15 -- a big bonus in moisturizers. We suggest trying out the different versions at the Chanel counter.
3. Best Inexpensive Foundation: Revlon ColorStay Foundation
If you're going to spend money on beauty products, we usually suggest saving it up for a good foundation. But this inexpensive product is worth a try. If you have oily skin, you might want to skip this product, however. Best for women with dry skin.
4. Best Pricey Foundation Powder: Laura Mercier
Powder foundation tends to be more matte than sheer or satin, so it's great for women with oily skin. This product blends well & has great staying power throughout the day mainly because it comes in powder form, which is great for bringing along in your purse.
5. Best Affordable Foundation Powder: MAC Studio Fix
We've used this powder foundation for years. The trick is to find the right shade. MAC Studio Fix is perfect for women with oily skin who want to minimize the appearance of large pores. Keep in mind you might need different shades for the different seasons of the year -- you're usually a bit darker in summer.
6. Best Foundation With SPF: Philosophy 'The Supernatural'
This foundation is one of the best rated and most popular on Drugstore.com. We gave it a whirl and loved how light it went on without being greasy in our t-zone spots. No wonder this foundation is much-beloved. Plus, we love that it is SPF 15.
7. Best Tinted Moisturizer: Clarins Hydra-Care Tinted Moisturizer
Clarins consistently impresses. You'll find these light, tinted moisturizers offer great coverage without feeling heavy. And there's no better tanning product out there than Clarins. Here, you'll get the moisturizer and the tan without the need for a heavy foundation.
8. Best Cream Foundation: Cover Girl Aquasmooth
Cream foundations offer the best of both worlds to women with dry, flaky skin: Total coverage and rich moisturizers.
9. Best Liquid Foundation for Dark Skin: Iman Second To None Oil-Free Makeup,SPF8
I man is not only a famous model, she's also the creator of some of the best makeup for dark-skinned women. Her foundation comes in a variety of shades, contains 8 SPF, and it goes on with a semi-matte finish.
10. Best Cream-to-Powder Foundations: Vincent Longo Water Canvas
This base delivers a great matte, even finish. You'll find it lighter than the creams so it's perfect for women with normal to oily skin. But a warning: This foundation can show off your dry skin and blemishes. You'll want to apply it with a sponge.
