"My all time favourite foundation!" one customer said. "It stays put even without a primer or setting spray/powder. It's full coverage so I barely need concealer most of the time."

The Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation [5] ($34) comes in an inclusive range of 40 shades. It blends right into skin for a beautiful finish that doesn't look cakey.

For a fresh gleam, swipe on this Clinique Even Better Glow Light Reflecting Makeup [7] ($29). It reflects light to give you dewy, fresh skin that doesn't even need a highlighter.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation
What you'll love about this Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation [8] ($43) is that it's buildable so you can get the coverage you prefer. You can't even feel it on your face, yet it stays on from morning till night.
"I'm always hesitant to buy expensive foundation because more often than not, I can usually find a cheaper dupe version that works just as well," one customer said. "Fortunately for Make Up For Ever, their product is so good that nothing else I've tried has been comparable. It has great medium coverage, it's lightweight, and has a huge shade selection"
Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation
The newest Sephora favourite is this incredible Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation [9] ($40) — the matte finish formula is waterproof and sweat-resistant.
"I think we have a winner," a buyer said. "This foundation is matte which is a godsend for my oily skin, it's lightweight, and was very easy to apply."

This Sephora Collection 10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation [10] ($20) contains hyaluronic acid for a smoothing effect, along with vitamin E for added protection against free radicals, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
