Best Full-Coverage Foundation for Mature Skin
If you're willing to put some muscle into applying this foundation, the jaw-dropping results are worth it. The formula comes out of the jar thick and tacky, with a concealer-like consistency, but buffs out to a thin layer that delivers a ton of coverage. Expert tip: Be sure to apply over primer for a smooth, even finish. If there's a special occasion where you need to look as flawless as Beyonce, grab this foundation and start flexing.

Best Full-Coverage Foundation That Goes Beyond the Call of Duty
Out, damned spot! This foundation can legitimately conceal anything you throw at it, without making you look like a cake-face or smothering your skin. You only need the teeniest bit of this pigment-packed foundation (seriously, it contains twice as much pigment as other full-coverage foundations) to cover over your entire face, so the bottle lasts forever. It contains emollients like jojoba and acacia, so it blends evenly, plus golden mica to give skin that Instagram-filter-IRL soft-focus finish.
