Skip the Touch-Ups With These 12 Long Lasting Foundations

With its exclusive "HyperWhip" process, this long-lasting foundation has a velvety whipped texture that blends seamlessly and feels weightless on skin. This matte-finish formula is ultra-hydrating thanks to moisture-locking hyaluronic acid, so it won't make your skin look cakey or dry it out.

Amazonian clay, the star ingredient in this formula, helps to balance out your complexion, control oil, and give you that perfectly smooth, matte finish. As an extra bonus, it also features SPF 15 to shield skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Everything made by TARTE is vegan-friendly, paraben-free, gluten-free, phthalate-free, and never tested on animals.

"LOVE this foundation," says Ipster klturnbow03. "Perfect color match, covers my redness perfectly without caking, and still feels lightweight."

This full-coverage foundation hydrates just as much as it perfects. With SPF 50+, it's also ideal for those days when you know you'll be out in the sun. And thanks to IT COSMETICS' proprietary 3D Skin Flex™ technology, you'll never have to worry about creasing or caking. Instead, pigments float on top of your skin for a glowing, satin-like finish. 

"I am SO picky about foundations, but I’m in love with this product," writes Ipster Jkendrick6293. "The coverage will blow your mind. It is definitely full coverage, but feels like and looks natural. I wear this on days where I don’t feel like spending a lot of time on my foundation."

If you prefer powder foundation formulas, you know that sometimes they can sit atop skin leaving it feeling slightly dry and uncomfortable. That's not the case here.

"This is the best all in one powder I’ve ever used," one Ipster says. "I’m pretty low maintenance, so it’s been great to just brush it on, add blush, lips, and a little shadow and go! This is going to be my go-to base from now on."
