Best Foundation No. 7: Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup, $39.50 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.6*
Why it's great: "The best natural-looking coverage you can get," is how one reader describe this Elizabeth Arden foundation. One reviewer says, "It's easy to use, and you can apply it in less than five minutes and need to apply makeup quickly."
The product also has incredible lasting power. "Once applied, it will stay there all day long," one reader writes. Since the foundation has a heavier texture, some users recommend using your fingertips or a foundation brush instead of the included sponge. Still, the full coverage is much appreciated. "I am 43, but with this makeup on, people routinely guess that I'm around 30," confesses one reviewer.

The best foundation is the Temptu Airbrush System. It does not penetrate pores, and imparts a beautiful luminous finish.

I love Revlon Colorstay. I just don't like that I have to mix two different shades to match my skin.

My first ever foundation was by Prescriptives. I'm not sure why I ever stopped purchasing it.

I really enjoy the articles like these because when I run out of foundation and start looking for a new one, I can look for some here!
