The Best Lightweight Foundations For Radiant Skin
Gone are the days when foundations are all about covering up all imperfections to achieve a unified skin tone. In 2022, we embrace skin’s natural texture and glow, with foundations that offer lightweight coverage so that your own skin peeks through. The plus side? They feel comfortable even under masks. Here are our best picks.
Light Reflecting Foundation, $78, NARS
An innovative blend of makeup and skincare, NARS Light Reflecting Foundation is powered with advanced skincare ingredients—featuring Photochromic Technology and Light Reflecting Complex—that help defend against environmental aggressors and blue light while strengthening skin’s moisture-retaining barrier. This lightweight, breathable and vegan formula (calling sensitive skin types!) imparts medium, buildable coverage with a natural finish and radiant glow. It not only blurs, conceals and smooths imperfections, but also visibly improves skin’s clarity over time.
Available from March 11 onwards at Sephora and NARS boutiques islandwide, and online from Mar 17th onwards.
Dior Forever Skin Glow, $94, Dior
This new-generation Dior Forever Skin Glow offers 24 hours of hydration for skin, while creating a smooth and even texture. The formula also contains floral ingredients like iris, pansy and nasturium extract to quell inflammation, protect skin and improve skin hydration. In addition, hibiscus acid extract helps to stimulate cell renewal so that skin is smoother and more even over time.
Millennialskin On-The-Glow Tinted Moisturiser, $69, Dolce&Gabanna Beauty
If there’s a word that embodies this foundation, it’s “fuss-free”. Formulated with hydrating ingredients, this tinted moisturiser also provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 PA+++ protection against UV damage, making it a one-and-done complexion perfector if you’re pressed for time. Read More...
