Who doesn’t want their makeup to be more ‘giving’? I’ve always spent hours finding the secret behind the butter-smooth texture of celeb’s makeup. Take Hailey Beiber, for example. Her airbrushed skin and flushed cheeks make me want to believe in magic. Well, the good news is that miracles do exist. The liquid foundation is a potion that helps you easily blend your makeup; does it sound complex? Trust me, it is not.
Here, I’m sharing the list of the best liquid foundations that help me achieve a butter-smooth texture without damaging my skin. I’ve also included honest reviews for each product to help you choose the right one.
Whether you’re considering upgrading your foundation or looking for information on ‘what's trending, ‘I’m sure you’ll find this helpful edit.
If you enjoy searching and experimenting with different products, this blog may help you get inspired by current beauty trends. I’m reviewing hydrating foundations that deliver flawless makeup with just one swipe. I’ve used them several times, so you know I’m not lying when I say don’t miss the product.
Delivering an even formula in only one swipe? This LA’s liquid formula was the first full-coverage liquid foundation I got my hands on. With just one swap only, it left my skin natural and radiating. The best part? It made my skin feel like skin, only smoother. I’ve always struggled with products as I have sensitive skin. But this product, with its paraben-free formula and loads of antioxidants, only makes your skin more hydrated.
When I saw that this product promised not to budge for many hours, I knew I had to try it. I’ve worn this foundation on three different occasions.
Honest Verdict: While I do not prefer this one for everyday use, it is my go-to choice for my skin to look more hydrated and illuminated. I usually like them when I have important meetings or I’m going on a date after work. All it takes is some prepping (with L.A. Girl Pro’s primer, of course!) and applying this blendable foundation with a brush or a sponge.
We all know E.l.f., It loves to deliver more than it promises, and this product is no exception. When you apply this Soft Glam Satin Foundation, expect dewy, illuminating, and smooth skin. I completely fell in love when I read about the medium coverage buildup. Usually, a full-coverage foundation looks cakey and feels heavy on your skin. Several foundations can also clog pores and look ashy after some time. That’s why I was dying to get my hands on this skin. And boy, oh boy! This product delivered what it claimed. After the application, I was surely expecting smooth skin, but not just after a single swipe. That’s right.
The breathable formula of this long-wear foundation is due to the 1% hydrating hibiscus complex, making it a non-cakey, lightweight foundation that is perfect for everyday use. I’ve used this product on occasions when I knew I wouldn’t be able to go for touch-ups.
My sister has dry skin, and she gave it a thumbs up. My mother has combination skin and loves that this product doesn’t feel heavy on her skin. Do you see the versatility? I think this product is our holy grail. The best part? E.l.f creates all products cruelty-free and vegan. So, you are wearing a foundation that only incorporates skin-loving ingredients.
I can not start a list of my favorite liquid foundations and skip Charmacy’s Milano Matte Foundation. Okay, I’ll be honest: I was initially skeptical as the product was billed as matte (which I’m not a big fan of). But after reading so many "oh, don’t miss out " reviews, I finally bought this product.
We all love one of those unachievable Instagram filters for skin, right? Now imagine those filters in a bottle; that’s right, this is the kind of product you can’t miss. It feels lightweight on my skin with its breathable feature. The oil-free formula prevents my skin from looking sweaty and prevents clogged pores. I used this one for a concert night, and I was amazed that my base still looked perfect even after the concert ended.
While I haven’t used this one (it’s best for dry skin), the product has still made it to one of my favorites. You may ask how. So, I told you about my sister’s dry skin right? She was struggling to find a medium to full-coverage foundation to make her skin look smooth and shiny. After a long search on websites, vlogs, and blogs, I came across this product.
My sister now can’t shut up about its lightweight formula, pore-minimizing feature, and whatnot. The product gives her a smooth finish that lasts all day long. It gives your skin a shiny yet mattifying finish, which my sister loves a little too much (I had to listen to her brag about this product for one hour straight; I’m not even kidding). The product is worth every penny!
Whip up a product that is part skincare and part makeup. That sounds more like a Ruby’s Organics job. Searching for perfect everyday makeup, I came across this liquid foundation adored by famous influencers. I’ve always been a ‘skincare>>>makeup’ girl, so when I saw its lightweight formula and smooth texture, I knew I’d found my dream product.
The product has no pore-clogging silicones, making it perfect for my combination skin. This lightweight foundation prioritizes skin health with its 100% vegan ingredients, such as Argan oil, Jojoba oil, Coconut Alkanes, and Coco Caprylate. I always keep a small pack of this product. I love how this foundation gives me a natural, dewy finish while keeping my skin hydrated. It’s my go-to for a fresh, glowing look that lasts all day without feeling like I’m wearing makeup.
I’ve tried mentioning every top liquid foundation I’ve used. These products made me switch from cream-based foundations to lightweight liquid foundations. All these products are worth every penny and make your skin look perfect. You only need your makeup brush or beauty blender (or even your fingers; no judgments!) to dab these products onto your skin, and Voila! You instantly achieve that airbrushed-looking skin in no time.
