Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Gel Touch Foundation SPF25/PA+++, $88
Resembling a cushion foundation compact, it has a bouncy-textured mesh soaked with the foundation and is said to provide more even distribution of the product. It is also meant to help you apply just the right amount. We love how the applicator sponge is super soft and dense like a marshmallow, and glides smoothly over skin for sheer to medium coverage. Perfect for touch-ups, the light gel foundation keeps skin hydrated as it contains hyaluronic acid, and 56 percent of the formula is made up of water. Available in 10 shades.
Make Up For Ever UV Bright Cushion SPF35/PA+++, $64
The lightweight, buildable formula provides light to full coverage and a radiant finish that conceals imperfections like enlarged pores and under-eye dark circles without getting patchy. Moisturising ingredients like glycerine and polyol in the foundation help skin retain moisture for a dewy and supple finish. Available in five shades.
Laneige Water Glow Gel Foundation, $59
This spreads easily, so about half a pump is sufficient for the whole face. The formula comprises 74 percent stabilised moisture, and a single layer gives sheer coverage for that translucent glow you see on K-drama actresses. We like that the micro-coloured powder blends into skin to help create sheer to full coverage as desired. Available in six shades.
