Looking for your perfect foundation match in 2025? Whether you want that effortless ‘woke up like this’ glow or need something that holds up through a long day, Fame For Fun’s latest foundation guide is your go-to beauty moodboard.

With a curated selection that covers (pun intended) every skin type and vibe, you’ll find options that not only even out your complexion but also work double-duty with skincare-infused formulas.

So, what’s the best foundation for your skin type?

• Dry or dull skin? Armani Beauty’s Luminous Glow delivers serious radiance and hydration without slipping off halfway through the day.
• Oily skin? Trust Estée Lauder’s Double Wear – matte, long-wearing and made to stay in place without caking.
• Combination skin? Dior Forever Skin Glow balances hydration with coverage – it’s basically your skin on its best behaviour.

Need a mess-free option for on-the-go? Enter Westman Atelier’s Foundation Stick – creamy, blendable and made to travel. Just swipe, blend and you’re done.

If you’re all about that clean beauty lifestyle, Saie’s Glowy Super Skin Tint might be your match: lightweight, non-comedogenic and full of skin-loving ingredients. It’s the kind of product that lets your freckles live while still smoothing things out.

Why skin-care makeup hybrids are the move this year

More than just coverage – the best foundations of 2025 are all about treating while enhancing. Think SPF for daily defense, hydrating elements like hyaluronic acid, and non-comedogenic formulas that won’t disrupt sensitive skin. Because let’s be real – your makeup should work with your skin, not against it.

Application secrets: Tools of the (beauty) trade

Brush? Sponge? Fingers? Here’s the tea:

• Fingers: Great for sheer or tinted formulas. The warmth blends like a dream.
• Sponge: Perfect for achieving a dewy, airbrushed finish with medium coverage. Just dampen and bounce.
• Foundation brush: Ideal for fuller coverage. Buff in circular motions for a seamless base.

Pro tip: Always start at the center of your face and blend outwards. That’s where most of the redness or uneven tone lives.

Finding your true shade

Golden rule? Match your foundation to your jawline, not your wrist. And check it in natural daylight. Still unsure? Many brands now offer virtual try-on tools or shade quizzes based on your undertone and current skin tone.

Seasonal switch-up

Yes, your foundation wardrobe should evolve with the seasons. Lighter, breathable formulas in spring and summer (bonus points for SPF!). Creamier, hydrating hybrids in fall and winter. Your skin changes—so should your formula.

Top picks from the Vogue Foundation Guide 2025:

• Chanel Les Beiges: A luminous, weightless finish that screams French girl chic.
• Armani Beauty Luminous Glow: Brings the glow to even the dullest skin days.
• Westman Atelier Foundation Stick: Practical, clean, and perfect for touch-ups.
