It's All About The base

Your perfect base is out there. The trick is knowing what you're looking for. Skin tint or full coverage? Soft matte or glazed and glowy? Something that loves dry skin or keeps shine in check? Whatever your skin type, finish or coverage mood, consider this your shortcut to finding the one.

Your Skin, Just Tinted

If your dream base looks suspiciously like a very good skin day, you're in the right place. Skin tints keep coverage sheer, lightweight and natural-looking, evening things out while letting your skin do it's thing. Try ILIA Serum Skin Tint SPF30, Tarte CC Color-correcting Tinted Serum, Milk Hydro Grip Gel Tint or Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint for easy, everyday Coverage. 

PRO TIP: Skip the brush and use your fingers. Warm a little tint between your fingertips, blend from the centre out, then tap on extra only where you want it. Five-minute face, incoming.

Want More Coverage? Start Here

Sometimes you want your foundation to really show up for you. Medium-to-full coverage foundations can even out skin tone, brighten discolouration and give you more coverage where you want it, without automatically meaning a heavy-looking base. Rare Beauty True To Myself Foundation and the new Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Fluid Flex Foundation. 

PRO TIP: More coverage doesn't mean more foundation everywhere. Start light, then build over the areas that need a little extra. Your skin can still look like skin.

Glow This Way

If matte isn't your vibe, head this way. Radiant foundations give skin that fresh finish, whether you want sheer and juicy or a little more polished. Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tiny, REFY Complexion Balm are the foundation of glass skin. 

PRO TIP: Strategic shine is the secret. Lightly powder anywhere you tend to get oily, then let the high points of your face keep doing what they do best: catching the light.

Your Base's Best Friend

Found your formula? Don't overlook what you're applying it with. The right foundation brush can completely change how you base blends, builds and sits on the skin. HAUS LABS Foundation Brush, Morphe M104 Domed Foundation Brush are all very worthy additions to your getting-ready line-up.

PRO TIP: Pick your brush according to the finish you want. Dense bristles pack on more coverage, while softer, fluffier brushes diffuse product from that seamless "where did you foundation go?" finish.
