Best Foundation For Your Skin Type

Find Out What Foundation Is Perfect For Your Skin Type

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Finding the perfect foundation is a lot like dating in your 20s. It's difficult, at times a complete disaster, but once you've found the one, nothing could make you happier. One of the biggest struggles (besides finding your perfect shade) is searching for a formula that works with your unique skin type and texture. A hydrating foundation, for example, might melt off oily skin within an hour, and an ultramatte formula could make dry skin look like the Sahara desert.

Ahead, you'll find some of the most popular and editor-approved foundations that are perfect for your skin type. Makeup speed-dating has never been so easy.

Dry Skin

Sephora community members love the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation ($48) so much, it's earned a Sephora Community Chosen seal of approval. The lightweight formula seamlessly glides over skin and never clings to dry patches.
