7 Compact Foundations for Perfect-Looking SkinThe new generation of compact foundations is so silky, hydrating and natural-looking that you may want to kiss your favorite liquid goodbye |
Foundation has come a long way in the last 10 years. BB creams and CC creams have taken over the category, and even traditional liquids now pack good-for-your-skin ingredients. However, compact foundations have seriously lagged behind. They're notoriously drying and tend to look flat and unnatural — that is, until now.
Thanks to better technology, finer powders and multidimensional colors, new compact foundations from some of our favorite high-end brands offer buildable coverage that won't give you mannequin skin. Plus, while liquids can make an oily complexion shiny, compact foundation keeps greasy skin at bay. Even better, it's totally spill-proof — ideal for en-route application.
Even if you think there's zero chance you'll give up your favorite BB, give one of these compact foundations a shot — they're nothing like they used to be.
