The New Long-Wear Foundations that Look Like Skin

15th January 2018

By Grace Gargini

Take a look at the hottest new foundations, from the likes of NARS, Bobbi Brown and Giorgio Armani, that not only look gorgeous on the skin, but will last from morning till night.
It seems the days of barely-there, light make-up bases are not on the cards this season as a number of the big beauty brands have launched their version of a medium to full coverage foundation with one hero claim at the forefront: superior staying power. But as the beauty lab's technology and formulas improve, we no longer have to compromise on a thick, cakey or mask-like finish to the skin when we call for a base that will last all day. Take a look at the hottest new foundations, from the likes of NARS, Bobbi Brown and Giorgio Armani, that not only look gorgeous on the skin (some even rival the more radiant offerings on the market) but will last from morning till night.

BOBBI BROWN SKIN LONG-WEAR WEIGHTLESS FOUNDATION SPF 15

Bobbi Brown’s brand new full-coverage foundation blends skin-loving ingredients, oil controlling actives and skin-true pigments for a multidimensional matte finish that conceals redness, discolouration and pores, yet feels surprisingly comfortable on the skin.

Perfect for those who want a full yet natural coverage, the tried and tested formula lasts 16 hours and is waterproof and sweat-resistant, whilst moisture-binding glycerine keeps skin hydrated throughout the day so skin never feels tight.

Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF 15, £31; Available at Fenwick Bond Street, Canterbury, Colchester, Kingston, Newcastle and Tunbridge Wells.

GIORGIO ARMANI MY ARMANI TO GO THE CUSHION SPF 23

Giorgio Armani’s latest addition to their popular foundation family comes in the form of a cushion foundation, which offers a glowy, buildable coverage on-the-go.

Made with a water-in-oil emulsion, the light-weight formula strikes the balance of looking luminous and feeling undetectable on the skin, whilst smoothing lines and hiding imperfections thanks to light-reflective polymers that keep skin looking radiant throughout the day.
