Foundation

	Prescriptives Flawless Skin Total Protection Makeup SPF 15 Hate the feel of foundation? This lightweight liquid wears nice and sheer. Although it offers substantial coverage, it blends seamlessly so it looks like your skin -- only more perfect. Totally flawless? Not exactly. But it does have bonuses, including SPF 15, skin-repairing enzymes infused with yeast, and antioxidants, whi...More See more Prescriptives products Average rating from 72 members 9
	Nars Balanced Foundation Delivers great "Is she even wearing foundation?" sheer coverage, while evening out slight discoloration. (You'll still need concealer for red spots.) Props for a happiness-inducing color selection and zero skin irritation, but dings for longevity. (By day's end, my rosacea shows through.) Nevertheless, a good perf...More Buy now: $41.00 - $54.00See more Nars products Average rating from 17 members 8
	Benefit You Rebel Lite Finally Benefit launched a lighter shade of this tinted moisturizer with SPF (the original is best for medium skin tones), which adjusts to most fair skin tones. The hydrating formula makes a great base under mineral makeup (if you're after more coverage), doesn't settle into fine lines and leaves skin dewy, not greasy like...More See more Benefit products Average rating from 34 members 8
	Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Makeup It's a dreaded cycle: You get a pimple and cover it with foundation, which makes the pimple worse, prompting you cover it with even more makeup. Neutrogena SkinClearing Oil-Free Makeup helps break the cycle with .5 percent salicylic acid, so you actually fight pimples while wearing it. The formula is also great at making po...More See more Neutrogena products Average rating from 104 members 8
	Laura Mercier Moisturizing Foundation While this foundation isn't hydrating enough to skip daily moisturizer, you'll be impressed by its blendability and the fact that you can easily avoid the dreaded "old lady foundation line." It does provide sheer to medium coverage for redness, but without SPF it doesn't protect from future sun damage. Although th...More Buy now: $50.50See more Laura Mercier products Average rating from 23 members 7.5
	Bare Escentuals i.d. bareMinerals Foundation SPF 15 Devotees of this popular loose powder foundation insist it makes fine lines and acne scars disappear, while just as many naysayers complain it highlights flaws. Our verdict: If you love a powdery, matte finish, look no further -- unless you're dry or highly pigmented. Those skin types seem to get less favorable coverage or ...More See more Bare Escentuals products Average rating from 2429 members 7.5
	Urban Decay Surreal Skin Liquid Foundation Just a few drops on a sponge delivers medium coverage from this oil-free, lightweight foundation. Build up a second coat of the quick-drying liquid to camouflage problem areas. You'll only need minor touch-ups to stay fresh-faced all day. The genie-in-a-bottle packaging? In a word, adorable. But it takes practice to squeeze...More See more Urban Decay products Average rating from 11 members 7.5
	Clinique Supermoisture Makeup It's easy to even out blotchiness with this creamy, gel-like foundation, available in a whopping 17 shades. Mica flecks deliver a pretty sheen -- except on your T-zone, where it looks oily. Expect a squirt like soft-serve ice cream, but on the promise to add "significant moisture"? Slightly disappointing; it still...More See more Clinique products Average rating from 68 members 7
	MAC Studio Mist Foundation For sheer to medium, natural coverage, this lightweight aerosol foundation is tough to beat. It glides on easily if you spray it on a plastic lid (instead of your hand, where it dries too quickly) and apply with a foundation brush or damp sponge wedge. It's easy on the wallet compared to other spray foundations, like DiorSk...More See more MAC products Average rating from 27 members 6.5
	Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers Finding your exact color match can be tricky, since there are only five choices (not counting the bronzer). If you are so lucky, the natural coverage is comparable to the high-end Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer -- lightweight, sheer and non-greasy. Skip it if you prefer foundation that delivers medium or full coverage. Bo...More See more Neutrogena products Average rating from 61 members 6.5
