We love this foundation for so many reasons — first of which, the sweet peach scent reminds us of the whimsical Sanrio products of our childhood. More importantly, this makeup is the true definition of "comfort matte." The lightweight formula stays put all day long and keeps your T-zone nice and flat, while never looking flaky or dry. Your skin will be in better condition after you take it off.
There's a reason Fenty received so much attention when it launched: The foundation alone comes in 40 shades, from some of the lightest to the darkest available. Light and breathable, it wears like a second skin while mattifying and adding a soft filter finish. Just like Instagram, it's you, but better.
This full-coverage foundation for oily skin has a thinner consistency, so it's buildable and super easy to blend. It has the ability to blur pores and imperfections while maintaining a naturally matte finish. The fact that you will need minimal touch-ups with powder or blotting sheets is a testament to its staying power.
This heavy-duty foundation from Urban Decay is great for special events when you want to stay matte all night long. A little goes a long way to cover imperfections like pimples, dark spots and fine lines. It's virtually life-proof and looks amazing in photographs.
This foundation starts as a liquid and blends out to a soft powder finish that locks in place all day. It easily camouflages imperfections and turns your oily skin into the perfect, shine-free canvas for your other products. If you're not a fan of using powder, this foundation makes it easy to skip that step, sans shine.
