Best Foundation for Oily or Acne-Prone Skin
If you struggle with a shiny T-zone, breakouts or blackheads, you definitely need an oil-free foundation that won’t clog pores. Look for one that delivers a poreless, natural-looking matte finish that lasts, like CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40. Infused with charcoal to detoxify, colloidal clay to absorb oil and tea tree extract to combat blemishes, it actively addresses your skin concerns instead of just covering them up.
Best Foundation for Combination Skin
If your skin is dry in some places and oily in others, you have combination skin—and that actually gives you a bit more leeway in your choice of foundation. Leaning toward a finish that leaves your skin looking dewy and radiant? Or are you more of a matte lover? Either one will work for you! To help you narrow it down, we recommend combination skin types use a lightweight, medium-coverage foundation that’s buildable. Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare fits the bill, plus it contains moisturizing hyaluronic acid and hepes acid to gently exfoliate—perfect for clogged pores and rough patches!
Best Foundation for Aging Skin
Getting older is a beautiful thing, but that doesn’t mean your skin needs to reveal your age! If you have fine lines, wrinkles and other visible signs of aging, it’s important to find a foundation that won’t cake or settle into creases. A talc-free, hydrating powder foundation that glides effortlessly over your skin and delivers an airbrushed finish can be your best friend. Look for ingredients like silk and glycerin—known for their skin-smoothing properties, plus anti-aging collagen, peptides and antioxidants.
