Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

The luminous formula blends in seconds for a lit-from-within glow that stays put while Micro-fil technology gives a smooth, cushiony application.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'R Soft Matte Longwear Foundation

If a matte finish is your jam, this will provide just that. The formula is oil-free and resists sweat and humidity so your sheen-free look stays in place from morning to night.

This gives skin a glow like no other, it's creamy, dewy formula glides on and blends out beautifully. Despite the dewy finish, this foundation actually has decent staying power.

This is the reigning champion among all powder foundations! Unlike many other powders, there’s never a risk of it ending up chalky, thanks to natural luminosity from the minerals.
