Sometimes it can seem like it is next to impossible to find the perfect foundation, as there are so many different things to consider! The winter months make this task even more difficult if one suffers from dry skin but still wants to cover up their flaws. A truly fantastic moisturizing foundation should have good cover without making the skin look flaky and also should include ingredients like ceramides, oils, antioxidants, and humectants, New York City dermatologist Amy Wechsler told Vogue.
Check out the five best moisturizing foundations for winter.
1. Chanel Vitalumière Aqua- $48
The Chanel Vitalumière Aqua is a favorite foundation of Wechsler and makeup artist Lisa Eldridge, who has clients like Kate Winslet and Rosie Huntington Whiteley. The foundation creates a fresh, natural complexion that makes the skin look refined and feel refreshed. The fluid formula has "a soft, water-light texture, and comes in 10 shades that match perfectly to skin's undertones, whether pink or beige."
2. Nars Tinted Moisturizer- $44
The Nars Pure Radiant tinted Moisturizer is a lightweight foundation that was made to even out skintones while providing hydration. The product won Redbook Magazine's "2012's MVP Award," according to Bustle. The formula is oil-free and has a sheer finish that brightens up the skin. The foundation has also been proven to help reduce the appearance of discoloration and dark spots on the face that are caused by hyperpigmentation for a clearer and brighter complexion.
3. Covergirl And Olay Tone Rehab- $16.95
The team up between Covergirl and Olay provide a fantastic and inexpensive option for someone who wants great skin but is not willing to break open the piggy bank. The foundation has more of a matte finish and is great for skin that feels dry and tight without creating those gross patches of dry skin. In addition to being great for dry skin, this foundation also covers discolored spots, fine lines and wrinkles all while helping to improve the overall look of the skin.
4. Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation- $62
The Koh Gen Do foundation has been called Koh Gen Do's "hero" product and is made up of 60 percent encapsulated water, which makes the mineral makeup one of the most moisturizing ones on the market. The product is cream based and gives a full coverage with the help of two types of light-reflecting powder particles that diffuse fine lines, pores and uneven skin. The advanced formula applies like a liquid foundation and is a favorite of Jessica Alba, according to The Zoe Report.
5.Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme- $48
Laura Mercier is one of the most trusted names in the beauty world and has a killer foundation called Moisture Supreme that will leave skin feeling as hydrated as ever. This medium-full coverage foundation is incredibly lightweight, minimizes the sings of aging and even leaves a natural-looking finish. The formula was designed to be comfortable to wear while also providing hydration for a dewy, healthy looking finish.
