Current Holy Grail Foundations

I think we all know I am a makeup hoarder by now. I test and try so many different types of foundations. When I was thinking about what my holy grail foundations were, I had a hard time narrowing it down, so I narrowed it down to seven! Haha! I feel like there’s something for everyone in this list, so that’s okay.

1. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

I have to say, out of all of the foundations here today this is my number one choice. I have been wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear for a long time, and it’s one I always go back to. I wear shade 2W0 Warm Vanilla.Product claims include:

• 24-hour staying power
• 56 shades (so inclusive!)
• Matte foundation that looks flawless and natural
• Feels lightweight and comfortable
• Oil-free and oil controlling
• Won’t clog pores
• Fragrance-free
• Number 1 foundation sold in the US

2. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

I always reach for the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation when I know I need to be in photos or on video (family photos, news segments I’ve done, etc.). It makes my skin look airbrushed and flawless, and it does a pretty darn decent job at staying put! I wear shade Vanilla. Product claims include:

• 36 shades
• Medium to full undetectable coverage
• Hydrating and long wearing (great for all skin types)
• Photo-friendly, no flash back
• Oil-free, won’t clog pores
• Contains coconut water, alpine rose, and hyaluronic acid
• Cruelty-free

3. Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation

I haven’t talked much about the Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation, but I’ve been familiar with it for about a year. I recently started adding this into the rotation and have been blown away by how much I love it. It looks so gorgeous on the skin! I wear shade Sand 2. Product claims include:

• 42 shades
• Up to 16-hour wear
• Medium buildable coverage with a multidimensional matte finish
• Comfortable, breathable, weightless
• Great for normal, combo, and oily skin
• Skin never looks cakey

4. It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte

If the original It Cosmetics CC Cream is a little too slippery and greasy for you, you will love the It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte. It isn’t dry at all, but stays put comfortably. I wear shade Light. Product claims include:

• 12 shades (only downside to this product)
• Full coverage
• Oil-free
• Infused with charcoal to detoxify, colloidal clay to absorb oil, and tea tree oil to combat blemishes
• SPF 40
• Best for normal, combo, and oily skin

5. L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation

This is one of the only dewy foundations that I really love on my skin. The L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation has medium coverage and a radiant finish, but it stays put really well. It doesn’t tend to break apart too much on me, which I love. I wear shade 202. Product claims include:

• 12 shades
• Up to 24-hour wear
• Radiant Finish
• Medium Coverage
• Very light texture

6. L’Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation

Out of all the foundations at the drugstore, I really think the L’Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation will work for almost everyone. It is the most inclusive shade wise, and has a coverage and finish I think a lot of people will love. I wear shade 445. Product claims include:

• 40 shades! Most inclusive drugstore foundation
• Breakthrough long-wear foundation
• Breathable skin technology
• Medium to full buildable coverage
• Up to 24 hour wear
• Natural finish and healthy looking
• Will not clog pores

7. Wet ‘n Wild PhotoFocus Foundation Stick

I tried this stick foundation last year and loved it so much! I swear to you, the Wet ‘n Wild PhotoFocus Foundation Stick is a total dupe to the Hourglass foundation stick (even wrote a whole blog post comparing the two). It’s so easy to use, looks flawless on the skin, and I love the buildable coverage. I wear shade Classic Ivory. Product claims include:

• 16 shades
• Easy to use, multi-tasking stick
• Long-lasting coverage
• Lightweight multi-dimensional formula
• Great for all skin types
• Looks gorgeous in photos
• Cruelty-free, vegan
• Cheapest foundation on this list, under $7
