1 Laneige Water Glow Gel Foundation, $59. Has a slightly dewy finish that makes skin look fresh and healthy.

2 Hera UV Mist Cushion, $68. Conceals dark spots and redness without concealing the skin’s natural texture. Very little goes a long way.

3 Three Angelic Synthesis Foundation Serum, $85. Drier skin will appreciate its moisturising feel. It smooths and brightens while maintaining a truly bare look.

4 Lancome Teint Miracle Hydrating Foundation SPF25/PA+++, $68. A small amount delivers medium coverage in a soft-matte finish that doesn’t cake around pores or lines.

5 Nars Aqua Glow Cushion Foundation SPF23/PA++, $68. Its cooling, water-enriched formula is refreshing, and makes your skin look dewy and radiant.

6 Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation, $65. Velvety matte and highly buildable, it’s also waterproof and sweatresistant.

7 Marc Jacobs Beauty Shameless Youthful-look 24-H Longwear Foundation SPF25, $74. Easy to layer, and sets to a matte finish that doesn’t crease. It’s hydrating, so skin looks plump all day.To see more foundations that give a skin-like
