best foundations
The makeup base is perhaps one of the beauty items we use the worst in general [well, and the concealer too]. We fail in the tone, do not use the right tools, or use more products than needed. And that’s not to mention those hundreds of options available on the market.
And although right now is not the time when we most want to cover the face with makeup, it is still a basic that radically changes our appearance in a second, like the eyebrow pencil. We achieve an excellent face effect, hide imperfections such as wrinkles or pimples, and unify the entire face’s tone. So yes, having one or several bases for each occasion is excellent for achieving the finish we are looking for.

How to Choose the Best Makeup Base for Me?
Then think about what you need it for: is it for everyday use? Look for light formulas; they can even be BB creams or tinted facial sunscreens. If you want to get one for special occasions or for whatever reason you like that they cover imperfections better, look for foundations with medium or high coverage.
Finally, always look for the same tone as your facial skin: otherwise, you will end up with a pronounced border (and no, it does not look good on you: get a bronzer to darken it). To find your tone, you must first know your undertone: are you warm, cool, or neutral? Once you have found it, compare products from brands you already know to find the perfect color for you. Or use online tools that will help you a lot, such as the Foundation Finder on the Esteé Lauder website.
Are there Differences Between Cheap and High-end Foundations?
In most cases, yes: high-end foundations tend to have better formulas, more variety of colors for each type of undertone, and a better finish. But, of course, that does not get nasty that there are no low-cost makeup bases capable of competing with them, but it is usually the case in general.
Next, you have the updated list with the best makeup bases, which you can do according to your skin type and needs.
1. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation glowy foundation
A bow to the Giorgio Armani team for coming up with the formula for the Luminous Silk Foundation. They have become a benchmark for foundations with a glowy effect, which leaves a juicy and luminous finish. It is wonderful. Of course, if you have very oily skin, stay away from it.
