For someone who spends her life scouring the internet and social media, I would say I’m quite restrained when it comes to hauling things that I have seen celebrities endorse or wear. I mean, you have to be discerning when you work for a fashion-and-beauty site.
But if there is one thing that I want to know about and will be influenced to buy almost every time, it’s anything that contributes to flawless-looking celebrity-level skin. I want that red carpet–ready, glowing, filter-without-a-filter look. Whether they’re having their makeup done for the Met Gala or just sharing their everyday beauty regimes, I devour this kind of content and have ultimately ended up with a lot of bases in my makeup collection after reading about or watching a celebrity rave about them. They make good ambassadors for a reason, right?
While creating the below list of celebrities’ favourite foundations, I did notice something—a lot of celebrities love a sheerer base than you might imagine. With their A+ skincare routines and the fact that they have top facialists on call, it makes sense. Why hide naturally glowing skin under full-coverage foundation? Next time you stumble upon a celebrity beauty routine, you’ll notice they go into great detail about their serums, eye creams and actives but brush past their chosen foundation, usually only using it to “even out” their complexion. So if you want to ace the celebrity face, it’s important to have your skincare routine nailed first. Then, your makeup will act as an enhancer rather than a cover-up.
