Place Strategically Over Acne

To find the best foundation formulas and brands, Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab scientists and editors scan the market for bases across price points, which are then label-masked to eliminate bias. Professional makeup artist evaluators test the foundations on factors such as dispensing, texture, application (spreadability, blendability, buildability) and coverage look and feel. Formulas that claim moisturization benefits, like tinted moisturizers and BB and CC creams, are also tested for skin hydrating effects using the Lab's Corneometer device. In the GH Beauty Lab's latest foundation test, scientists analyzed 190 submitted products to find the top 30 contenders for evaluation, quantifying 919 data points to find the best-performing formulas. Whatever your preference, always remember to hydrate your skin with a good moisturiser or serum before applying your foundation of choice. Burt also recommends prepping the skin with a clay mask to gently exfoliate the skin first. Another tip is to use a primer, which can help smooth fine lines and help the foundation to stay on longer. She also recommends using a flat foundation brush or kabuki-style blender to build coverage, using your fingertips to blend, tap and press in. “The warmth of your fingertips will create the flawless finish.” Each of us is unique.
