I have pretty dry and sensitive skin, but this is somewhat hydrating while still having medium coverage. Best of all, it did not irritate my skin! I'm just in love!" — PinkyBee23SephoraA dermatologist- and makeup artist-beloved luxury foundationLuminous Silk foundation by Armani Beauty is one product in particular that has been suggested to us by several experts, one of whom called it a “never cakey, lightweight and dewy” foundation that leaves a skin-perfecting, natural-looking finish. A large part of its popularity probably has to do with the fact that this foundation works well for many skin types, including acne-prone, dry and aging skin. Its hydrating, glowy-finish formula has the ability to blur imperfections without settling into fine lines or wrinkles.Available in 40 shades, this medium-coverage and buildable foundation uses what the brand refers to as “micro-fil technology” to allow color pigments to lay flat for seamless blending and layering. The long-lasting formula also claims to improve the look of irregular skin texture while maintaining that lit-from-within glow.Promising review: "I have been using this foundation now for three weeks and I have to say I am in love! I have super dry skin with some texture (keratosis pilaris) and this made my skin look flawless. Will definitely be repurchasing.” — msjaayAmazonA blurring skin tint that can help to fight blue light and pollutionI was skeptical that this Ilia tint would feel oily, but I'm pleased to report that not only does it dry down really nicely, but it leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. My wife and I both have very different skin types (mine is oily and acne-prone, hers is dry), and we both love this foundation. It feels lightweight and invisible but gives a great amount of coverage, evening out the skin beautifully and giving a natural-looking glow. It has an award-winning serum-like formula infused with niacinamide, squalane and hyaluronic acid, so you know your skin will look and feel gorgeous. There is also a pretty extensive shade range to choose from. Best of all, it has SPF 40.Promising review: "My entire life I have had acne and super sensitive skin. Foundation always made it worse, but I was too embarrassed to go bare. Sad face. Menopause cleared up the acne, but now I have dry skin! I'm 48 and I was clueless about skin care. I decided to try ilia. I'm so appreciative that someone developed this! My neice uses this, and she swears it cleared her acne! Her skin looks gorgeous now! Where was this when I was growing up? I am in awe of how good this makes my skin look. I'm a special needs mom and there are many nights that I don't wash my face before passing out and I swear I wake up with beautiful hydrated skin! It's seriously my favorite thing to put on. The smell was a little weird at first, but I understand that the ingredients combined are responsible. The ingredients are amazing by the way. The scent goes away within seconds. The results are worth it! It's spendy, but it saves you money in the long run. It's skin care, sun screen and ACTUALLY works so you won't need to buy other products. I bought other ilia products now and I threw out my other cosmetics! Thank you Ilia!!! I'm eyeballing the eyeshadow today.... lol" — MichelleSephoraAn editor-beloved buildable foundationI will never stop raving about the Westman Atelier Vital Skincare complexion drops. It looks like makeup, feels like skin care and leaves you with the dewiest complexion. This liquid foundation has a thin, lightweight and serum-like consistency — almost like a tinted moisturizer – with light-to-medium buildable coverage that looks just like my own skin, but way better. It blends beautifully with both brushes or a sponge and, somehow, it manages to blur my breakouts and cover redness and dark circles without looking or feeling heavy. I’ve gotten compliments almost every time I’ve worn it from people who think it’s my natural, makeup-free face. It is so feather-light that I was certain it wouldn’t even be visible, making the results all the more thrilling.It’s gentle and hydrating, doesn’t clog pores and gives my skin an overall healthy glow. Another reason I am obsessed with it is that while it does have a dewy finish, it doesn’t leave my skin looking slick or oily. It dries down to an almost powdery consistency that leaves my skin velvety smooth and stays put all day long.One of the most intriguing aspects of this foundation is that it’s packed with serum-style ingredients like squalane, tsubaki oil, ginseng extract and more. These work together to improve the look of skin texture, reduce redness, soothe irritation, hydrate and brighten the complexion. I regret to inform you that it's worth every penny. Promising review: "At 39, I’m at the age where I can’t wear foundations I even wore several years ago. I had been using Future Skin for the past several years but was not very impressed with the coverage or cost. This is amazing and cheaper. It reminds me of Ilia’s skin serum, but for more mature skin. It blends beautifully, lasts for hours, and doesn’t cause breakouts for my sensitive (dry) but still acne prone skin. Paired with the new concealer, it’s breathtaking. Please don’t stop making this and don’t sleep on this either if you’re on the fence. The smell is that of a natural product with NO pointless fragrances." — Pink5007SephoraA deliciously hydrating, lightweight foundation from HourglassGet everything you love about the Hourglass stick foundation in a lightweight tint with a dewy finish with this feathery foundation.
