10 Reviews: Best Foundation Natural Look (Mar 2023)

Pacifica Alight Clean Foundation comes with a super affordable price tag. To be safe, it does not include silicones in addition to being devoid of parabens, phthalates, talc, BHA, BHT, petroleum, and drying alcohol. But just because it doesn’t contain everything doesn’t mean it’s lacking. In fact, this creamy, dewy foundation feels light on the face and lasts all day. It’s a no-brainer for clean, natural-looking coverage, with 24 shades ranging from lightest to darkest.

amazing. applies lovely. long lasting and easy to remove. best for blemishes and definitely under eye. i would make the applicator a little more easy and simple to use. very lovely to blend in. i would definitely recommend this to others.

It’s completely simple and totally handy.

I always used a medium coverage foundation for the daytime. After finding this product I’m so happy I made the switch. It gives off such a nice glow and blends perfectly. It lasts the whole day and never feels cakey. 10/10.

If you want heavy coverage but want to try something cleaner, Kosas’ Tinted Oil is a good option. Although the liquid formula seems to be a skin tint, its adaptability is what makes it an immediate favorite. One thin layer is sufficient to smooth out unevenness and breakouts, but not enough to prevent your skin from shining through and appearing to be skin. In problematic areas, a second layer gives further coverage. And, despite being an oil, it dries remarkably matte.

I live in a dry climate and my skin tends to be quite dry. I love this oil-based foundation for its natural-looking finish. It smoothes my skin tone without looking "makeup-y." I use both tone 4 and 5. On days when I need a more full-coverage look I finish with pressed powder.

There are so many things we love about stick foundations that it’s difficult to keep track of them all. Firstly, there’s no need for equipment or mirrors, so all you have to do is swipe it on with your fingertips and go. With its waterproof and long-lasting composition, we’re particularly fond of this one. It also reacts to your body temperature for perfect blending and has a unique triangular tip that makes it simple to apply on even the most difficult-to-reach areas.

Great coverage. It’s buildable and works amazing with sensitive skin. Looks really natural too.

Guerlain brings together naturalness with make-up performance for the first time. This foundation is made with 97 percent naturally derived ingredients and has a natural glow finish that lasts for 16 hours. The formula allows the skin to breathe while also hydrating, balancing, and protecting it from pollutants. The complexion is more even, and the appearance of flaws is decreased. Day after day, bare skin looks better with L’Essentiel. 

Since it contains anti-inflammatory niacinamide, moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid, and skin barrier-supporting squalane, this ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint is ideal for anyone with sensitive skin. It leaves behind a finish that’s similar to your skin but better—one that’s so amazing, it’s award-worthy. Let us also praise the Hyaluronic Acids for penetrating at various levels to noticeably plump and moisturize the skin.

Doesn’t feel like I’m wearing foundation and it looks so natural

Jane Iredale is the makeup line that aestheticians most often recommend. And if you prefer a liquid foundation, this one should be on your radar. It’s remarkable because it can be built up to full coverage and matte. If you’ve had a treatment like a laser or a chemical peel that requires you to be gentle on your skin, or if you just want a cleaner alternative to your beloved heavy-duty face foundation, this is your ideal match.

Beyond Matte can self adjust meaning it will blend evenly with your natural complexion! M3 has more peach/pink tones while M4 has more neutral/beige undertones.

ILIA’s innovative formulations will make you wonder what clean makeup can be. It’s a filter you can wear in real life, with sheer-to-medium buildable coverage and a dewy sheen that resembles actual skin. This is billed by Ilia as a skincare-foundation hybrid, which, uh, maybe! But, at the absolute least, it will keep your skin appearing moisturized without making it dry. Consider it a dressed-up version of oneself on a regular basis.

Favorite foundation ever! This is my holy grail that I always come back to. I have normal to combination skin and this is the best for a natural GLOW. I like it best when it's applied with fingers or a beauty blender. Totally worth the cost.

This oil-free foundation will make it seem as if you never break out. It’s made from cashmere kaolinite clay and rapidly changes from liquid to powder, resulting in an all-day finish that conceals flaws in a natural-looking way. This foundation is also devoid of mineral oil, parabens, phthalates, and triclosan, and contains less than 1% synthetic fragrance. This product is also cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free.

The texture is light, a little goes a long way. Very mate, no need for powder or any other setting. Worth every dollar. I’m usually porcelain/fair, I go between Shell and Natural, depending on my summer tan.

My favorite foundation. It works great because it is for pink undertones. I mix this one with the P10. Been using this for over a year. Soft, does not make skin feel sticky or matted and also still makes you look natural. My freckles can still be seen :)
