It may be named after cake mix, but this foundation is anything but cakey. Infused with vitamin E to keep it extra creamy, the (vegan) formula is still lightweight enough that it won't clog pores.

Not only does it come in 40 shades (impressive in and of itself) but the options are varied and unique, with choices for all kinds of uncommon skin tones and undertones. The soft matte formula also touts a unique climate-adaptive technology that keeps it sweat- and humidity-resistant, no matter the weather.
