Confession: Before I became a beauty editor, I rarely ever wore foundation. I was under the false impression that foundation always looks cakey and unnatural, and I preferred the more low-key alternative of tinted moisturizer or a few swipes of concealer. But through my job, I have been lucky enough to try tons of different foundations and have realized how misguided my foundation aversion was for all of those years. There are plenty of foundation formulas with a variety of different finishes and shade ranges that look natural and feel comfortable. My current favorite? The newly reformulated Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation, which was generously gifted to me by the brand. Keep scrolling to find out why I love it.
