“This foundation has 24-hour staying power and is perfect for girls on-the-go. You have to blend it in quickly but it will help you go from day to night,” Henney said.

This Revlon foundation comes in an expansive range of shades and promises to keep your makeup “impeccable all day.” It offers a matte finish for up to 24 hours, contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin over time, contains SPF 15 and is oil-free.

 

“For a dry skin type that’s also looking for SPF, I love Physicians Formula The Healthy Foundation SPF 20,” Aharon shared. “It’s loaded with my favorite hydrating ingredient — hyaluronic acid — and provides a lightweight yet buildable amount of coverage.”

This formula is designed to be long-wearing, breathable and provide medium-to-full coverage with a healthy, satin finish. The formula’s brightening complex and hyaluronic acid help hydrate, brighten and improve the appearance of your skin tone. It also includes vitamins A, C and E for an extra antioxidant boost.
