Here are the best foundations for your specific skin needs, from long-lasting to luminous and dewy

1. If you want… a feathery-light foundation

Cushion foundations have remained ever so popular with beauty addicts because of their lightweight texture and ease of application. If you are the fussy type or prefer aesthetically-pleasing beauty products, look no further than the latest Le Cushion Encre De Peau Leather Edition ($92/14g) from YSL Beauty. Drawing inspiration from couture leather design, it blends the understated glamour of crocodile skin into the classic black-and-gold case, resulting in a luxurious and sophisticated design.

Thanks to a formula that feels light as a feather, it removes grease and hydrates the skin at the same time to ensure a balanced complexion and is suitable for all skin types. Carry it with you anywhere so you can touch up anytime. The gorgeous design is bound to catch the eyes of many.

2. If you want… a long-lasting wear

Does your foundation fade or become flaky, with your pores showing, by the middle of each day? We recommend using the YSL Beauty All Hours Foundation ($98/25ml), which delivers full coverage by concealing your pores and flaws and contains a hydrating plant extract that promises long-lasting wear. Its matte shine control works better for oily or combination skin types; if you have dry skin, slap on some moisturiser before applying.

Also available is the All Hours Foundation Stick ($88/9g) from the same range, a handy cream to powder formula that saves you the trouble of fixing your makeup when you are in a rush.

3. If you want… a luminous, dewy glow

Irregular hours can cause your skin to lose its radiance but is it true that no amount of makeup can help? Enter the YSL Beauty Touche Éclat All-in-One Glow Foundation ($79/30ml) which delivers a natural look with a light to medium coverage. Its superb watery formula gives your skin a dewy glow, imparting with it a radiant finish. The lightweight texture also means you can apply easily using just your fingers!

Also from the same range is the Touche Éclat Le Cushion ($92/15g). Its unique micro-net delivery system makes it a beautiful piece of art inside out. You can use its dual flocked sponge applicator to either highlight or conceal, or go for anything in between.

4. If you want… your makeup to be fast, precise and flawless

Are you always in a mad rush and really don’t have the time for “leisure” step-by-step makeup? This YSL Beauty Youth Liberator Serum Foundation ($109/30ml) is the product for you. Infused with a patented Colour Tune-up Complex, it provides more moisture than your average foundation, one layer is enough to impart your skin with a luminous, dewy sheen, delivering a natural look.

Due to its watery nature, it is easily absorbed by a sponge; to reduce wastage and add more coverage, we recommend using a brush during application.
