Liquid Foundation

For oily and combination skin types, try the Power Fabric Full Coverage Liquid Foundation. This matte liquid foundation is formulated to control excess shine for a flawless daily complexion.

For dry skin, a hydrating liquid foundation is essential. Luminous Silk Foundation is the iconic, award-winning foundation formulated to provide a lightweight glow with a medium and buildable coverage finish.

The best liquid foundation shade should blend seamlessly into your skin, matching the skin tone of your neck and chest to ensure a natural look. We recommend identifying your undertones and testing a few shades along your jawline to see which shade suits best.

Prepare the skin

Start with your skincare routine to ensure your skin is clean and hydrated, creating a flawless base for your makeup application.

Apply a primer

Use a makeup primer to refine skin texture and create a smooth, even surface for your liquid foundation.

Apply the liquid foundation

Using fingers, a sponger or a brush, dot your liquid foundation across the cheeks, T-zone and neck, and blend evenly. Layer as needed for coverage, or keep it minimal for a fresh, natural look.

Finish with powder

Finish with a setting powder for a refined result that enhances your complexion.

The best tool for applying foundation depends on your desired finish and personal preference.

Brushes are ideal for a smooth, airbrushed look. A flat or dense, rounded foundation brush blends liquid formulas evenly into the skin, offering buildable coverage with minimal product absorption.

Sponges, such as beauty blenders, are perfect for a natural, dewy finish. When damp, they help sheer out the foundation and press it seamlessly into the skin—great for dry or textured complexions.

Fingers warm up the product for easy blending, especially for lightweight or serum foundations. They're convenient for touch-ups or on-the-go application but may offer less precision than tools.
