Top 10 Foundations With SPF

LOVED FOR: This foundation flawlessly covers imperfections without feeling heavy or cakey, giving it that comfortable, second-skin feel.

HELPFUL TIP: You can use this as a brightening under-eye concealer, too. Now that's efficiency.

WHAT IT DOES: Laura Mercier took its cult-favorite formula and revamped it with a wider shade range and improved skincare benefits (think vitamin C and SPF 30), making it even more hydrating, protective, and skin-perfecting than ever before. Consider this your secret weapon for achieving that effortlessly dewy, no-makeup makeup finish.

USERS SAID: "I absolutely LOVE this product. It completely evens out my skin tone and creates a really natural finish. It blurs out blemishes and practically melts into my skin. It also lasts for a full day at work and doesn't oxidize like many tinted moisturizers do."

BEST FOR: Oily skin, meet your match. This lightweight liquid foundation is time-released, so it absorbs and controls excess shine throughout the day. Bonus: it's also packed with hyaluronic acid, so it won't ever dry out the skin.

USERS SAID: "Revlon Colorstay wears so well on my mostly oily/combination skin. This makeup actually stays put and still looks great at the end of the day, even with a mask on! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a high-quality foundation at a drugstore price."

WHY YOU NEED IT: Not only is this cult-classic foundation packed with skin-loving ingredients like pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E, but it's also available in an impressive amount of shades—45, to be exact. You can even choose from a range of undertones (cool, neutral, and warm), so it's pretty much impossible not to achieve a perfect match.

AS SEEN ON: Even Beyoncé is a fan. For reference, she wears the shade "Soft Sable."

WHAT IT DOES: Full-coverage foundations can look cakey and heavy after just a few hours of wear, but BarePRO stays natural-looking and fresh all day long. This is because of the formula's Mineral Lock technology, which blends pigments with the skin's natural lipids to lock in your look. 

FUN FACT: Thanks to bamboo extract and papaya enzymes, this foundation improves the complexion both immediately and over time. Talk about a win-win.

LOVED FOR: Just as its name suggests, this foundation is seriously hydrating. Infused with marine plant extracts to diminish the signs of aging, the water-based, serum-like formula effortlessly melts into the skin and provides a dewy, flawless finish for up to 12 hours.

HELPFUL TIP: Wear it alone for a satiny smooth finish, or mix a few drops into your moisturizer for a lighter look.

WHAT IT DOES: It doesn't get more classic than this beloved loose powder. Made with only five mineral ingredients and no bad stuff, the breathable and buildable formula promotes clearer, healthier-looking skin over time, won't clog pores or cause breakouts, wears all day, and protects with SPF 15.

FROM THE EXPERTS: In a one-week consumer study of 106 women, 95% agreed this foundation reduced the appearance of flaws and imperfections both immediately and in the long run. 

BEST FOR: If you're looking for serious sun protection, you can't go wrong with this fan-favorite CC cream. Made with SPF 35, it's one of the most protective formulas on the list.

HELPFUL TIP: Don't let the "mineral" part scare you—thanks to the natural tint and skin-perfecting ingredients, it won't leave a single trace of white residue like most mineral sunscreens do.

LOVED FOR: Thanks to Amazonian Clay, this full-coverage foundation won't budge—sun, sweat, and swimming included.

USERS SAID: "Not only is the color a perfect match, but the coverage is also perfect for my somewhat uneven skin tone. It doesn't clump around my dry areas as some foundations do, but it also seems to control oil longer and better than most foundations. It's a miracle!"
