7 Top-Rated Powder
Foundations That
Actually Deliver
Full Coverage
As of late, full coverage powder foundation is having a moment, but the
downside to these skin-perfecting formulas is that they’re often fussy, and
can leave your skin looking cakey within a couple hours of wear. This ultimately
lends itself to your skin looking anything but flawless. Unless you’re
going to a short event or are planning on taking photos, many full-coverage
foundations simply aren’t practical for all-day wear. Plus, if you have
textured, mature or dry skin these thicker products can actually highlight
problem areas rather than camouflaging them – an effect that presumably
no one is keen on achieving. With warmer weather just around the corner,
it makes sense that seemingly every beauty brand is dropping a powder
version of their flagship full coverage liquid foundation. These counterparts
are fuss-free, shine-controlling versions that blur imperfections,
keep sun-induced shine at bay and make on-the-go application easier. But
while many powder bases claim to offer light-diffusing, Instagram filter
level blurring powers, and complexion-perfecting properties, these claims
fall flat unless you commit to applying the product wet. While this is a solid
method for achieving a full coverage finish, it’s not only time-consuming
but can also leave your powder damaged on account of moisture from
your damp sponge or brush. Of course, applying a creamy concealer under
your powder is a fool-proof method for adding additional coverage to areas
of concern. But if you’re looking for a multi-functional, one-stop-shop
sort of a product, we’ve discovered some full coverage powder foundations
that actually conceal, blur, and smooth all on their own. And while powder
formulas are generally considered to be exclusively suitable for oily and
combination skin types, these next-generation foundations are capable of
complimenting textured, extra-dry, and mature skin types as well thanks
to innovative formula upgrades, including the addition of hydrating skincare
ingredients and light-diffusing pigments.
