5 Foundations We’re Loving ATM

It’s true that when it comes to foundations, you can’t crown one product as the *best*, as each one of us expects it to tackle different concerns. So we decided to round up formulas that we’ve tried and think are worthy of adding to your beauty bag Right. This. Minute. 

Paese Cosmetics Long Cover Fluid Foundation, ₹1199

If you have dry skin (or experiencing flaky patches due to seasonal changes), the shea butter in the formula will keep it hydrated. Also in the mix are skin-loving Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamins A, C and E, and SPF6 that helps in blurring imperfections, fine lines, pores and blemishes. The creamy texture glides on effortlessly, blending in seamlessly to reveal flawless-looking skin. Bonus: it’s waterproof and smudge-proof, which means you can go the whole day without touch-ups.

What’s not to love?
