From natural to matte and radiant finishes, our Foundation Guide can help you find the perfect formula for your skin. Explore our range of the best foundations for dry skin, check out longwear matte foundation for oily skin, get a glowy finish with dewy foundation, or discover the best lightweight foundation for your needs. Once you have found your favourite formula, use our unique and intuitive Foundation Finder to pick out the perfect colour match.

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.
