20 Best Foundation, According to Pro Makeup Artists and Vogue Editors | Vogue Skip to main content Save Story Save this story Save Story Save this story Finding the best foundation can be a daunting task. Seasonal changes may require you to switch formulas to match your skin type or tone, and you also face the choice between full coverage and lightweight tints. The variety of foundation types—liquids, sticks , creams, and serum-infused formulas—adds to the challenge. Liquid foundations are versatile, offering finishes from dewy to matte for various skin types, while stick foundations are portable and easy to apply. Serum or skin tint hybrids combine makeup and skincare, offering a lighter option for those who seek it. Luckily, many of the best foundations out there have been formulated to not only deliver immaculate coverage, but also to prioritize skin’s health. Just consider the emergence of skin-care-makeup hybrids that do just this through pigmented blushes and tinted moisturizers .
