Choosing the right foundation formula depends on your skin type. Most people fall into one of three categories – dry, oily or combination skin. A powder formula is usually the best foundation for combination skin or oily skin, while liquid or cream foundation is great for dry skin.

For people with dry skin, a liquid or cream dewy foundation or a tinted moisturiser is a good choice, as powder foundations, oil-free formulas, and matte finishes can settle into lines, increasing the appearance of fine lines and sitting cakey on the skin.

If you have oily skin, choose a powder formula or matte foundation that is designed to help hinder oil production. This will counteract any shine, particularly in the t-zone, and leave you fresh-faced and flawless.

When you’re looking for the best natural foundation, our liquid foundations, oil-free foundations, and stick foundations offer light to full and buildable coverage, giving you a healthy natural finish. For the best lightweight foundation that still provides natural coverage, try a liquid or serum foundation or a tinted moisturiser.
