This foundation is unlike any we've ever tried -- the superlight formula dries onto skin like a perfecting varnish, and leaves skin comfortably matte without looking cakey or powdery. The signature, cucumber-y Clarins scent is the icing.

Best Full-Coverage Foundation on a Budget
Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Effect Makeup, $13.99

The light-filtering abilities of this foundation are simply beyond. It managed to impress even the pickiest of foundation-wearers on our team because it lasts forever (well, at least through the entire work day and happy hour), doesn't dry out skin and makes you look superglowy, like you just mainlined vitamins into your bloodstream.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation, $43

Reformulated and better than ever, Make Up For Ever's HD foundation applies like a dream -- a silky, luminous dream. It goes on like a second skin (much more convincing than Hannibal's trick, IMO), and makes your face look flawless. Plus, it looks just as good in HD photos and videos as it does in real life. Nearly 40 shades are organized by undertones, and there is a wide range of shades, from superfair to ultra deep.

Best Full-Coverage Foundation for Mature Skin
Rodial Airbrush Make-up, $45

If you're willing to put some muscle into applying this foundation, the jaw-dropping results are worth it. The formula comes out of the jar thick and tacky, with a concealer-like consistency, but buffs out to a thin layer that delivers a ton of coverage. Expert tip: Be sure to apply over primer for a smooth, even finish. If there's a special occasion where you need to look as flawless as Beyonce, grab this foundation and start flexing.
