Liquid foundations took the beauty world by storm back in 2018 with all sorts and formulas to navigate; dewy, matte, velvety finishes — obviously, we went nuts! Whether you’re into sheer or full coverage (or even something in-between), water-, sweat-, or smudgeproof, you’re bound to find one that’ll be your perfect match. To keep you in the loop, we’ve narrowed down some of our judge’s tried-and-tested favourites from the lot.
1. Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Soft Blur Foundation, $51
“Coverage is pretty sheer so feels like a tinted moisturiser that still gives you a good amount of cover. I love! Feels more like a second skin and dries matte. Might leave those with oilier skin with a bit more shine though.” — Aimee
2. Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation, $134
3. Clarins Skin Illusion Foundation, $62
“It’s skincare + foundation, no heavy perfume and natural finish.” — Hanli
4. Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15 / PA++, $56
5. Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation, $65 EDITOR’S PICK!
“Dior really has the best foundation textures. This one is extremely lightweight and spreads on skin beautifully.” — Adele
“LOVE this formula — it has a very buildable coverage and isn’t too heavy on the skin. Very long-lasting and works well even when skin tends to get oily.” — Hannah
6. Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10 Foundation, $70
7. FENTY BEAUTY Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, $50
8. Giorgio Armani Beauty Power Fabric Foundation, $90
9. IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil-Free Matte with SPF40, $62 WINNER!
“I used this for two weeks straight while shooting under humid conditions — great coverage, staying power, and while it has more of a dewy-matte than actual matte finish, it still produces a gorgeous, camera-ready effect.” — Jemma
