Whether you’re a fan of full-coverage formulas that cover any and all blemishes or you find yourself in the light-coverage, dewy foundation camp, everyone can agree on one thing: The best foundation feels like you’re not wearing any at all. Luckily, new light-as-air foundations are taking the stage in the form of waters and oils (they deliver the same results as a traditional foundation) that we can’t get enough of. Here, eight to try now.
Anti-aging skincare meets makeup with this high-tech veil
that promotes cell turnover to reveal smoother, softer skin while you wear it. Try
applying a few drops to the areas where you experience dryness, redness or
uneven tone for an immediate radiant glow.
Sporting a unique water-meets-gel formula, this superlight
foundation is 80 percent water, enriched with vitamin B5 and goes on sheer, but
is designed for buildable coverage without feeling the least bit cakey.
This oil-free BB formula features a built-in primer, SPF 30 protection and sheer-to-medium coverage while also working to blur the
appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. Available in eight shades, your
best complexion is only a few drops away.
Full coverage fans, this one’s for you. While its water-like
formula seems like it would go on sheer, this bottle delivers serious coverage
with all of the hydrating properties foundation waters are known for—plus non-chemical
SPF 15.
Fine lines and large pores are instantly blurred with this
sheer yet buildable foundation that features a gel-meets-serum formula for
coverage you love and none of the heavy, cakey feeling you don’t.
This oil-free, non-comedogenic hybrid foundation smells
delicious and betters skin with just one drop. While the formula is buildable,
a small amount gives just the right amount of coverage.
The multi-reflective pigments found in this water-based
formula claim to “artfully sculpt” the face while its hydrating properties
(think hyaluronic acid and ionized water) work to combat and dry patches in the
skin.
This flexible foundation blurs and perfects skin while
delivering the perfect dose of dewy radiance without looking too glowy. Don’t forget
to shake the bottle before each use to combine all of the pigments and
luminizers.
