There’s no denying that hunting out the perfect foundation isn’t the easiest of tasks. Not only do you need to take into account your skin type, but you also need to consider the sort of
finish and the level of coverage you want – and that’s when things can start to get overwhelming. The amount of different foundations available now has hugely increased over the past few
years, and technology has come a long way. So, more often than not, it is actually possible to invest in one product that will fulfil all of your needs, that won’t look or feel heavy on your
skin. These formulas can be suitable for all occasions too, whether that’s for the times you don’t need or want much coverage, and for the times when you might want to dial things up a
little bit. But with so much choice, how can you start to narrow things down and work out what’s actually going to be suitable for you? Here, we’ve taken out some of the guesswork by trying
and testing some of the newest formulas – all of which have one main thing in common: they promise to be lightweight. Keep scrolling to discover the ones that we think are worth investing
in. HOW WE TESTED Our tester is a big foundation wearer, and she really put these products through their paces. They were applied (using a foundation brush) each morning, taking into account
how well the formula layered with skincare – which was an antioxidant serum and sunscreen – and how easy it was to blend, then she kept an eye on how it lasted through the day. She also
tried to avoid doing any top-ups, to see how each fared over time while taking note of cost and shade range. Each make-up look was finished with a misting of setting spray. THE BEST
