Gleam-giving coverage for every skin type, boosted with skin-loving ingredients to enhance your complexion instantly and over time. Meet the 16 best skincare-infused foundations for all skin types.

MAC Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation, €45.45, is highly moisturising and lightweight with buildable coverage for completely luminous skin.

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Dark Spots Concealer, €31, comes hyaluronic acid- and niacinamide- infused to brighten and plump.

Hydrating and weightless with a buildable soft-matte finish, Rose Inc Softlight Skin-Smoothing Liquid Foundation, €48, balances the skin’s microbiome and minimises excess oil, pores and redness.

Created to achieve a Gallic natural glow, Aime Skincare Powder Foundation, €39, cares for and enhances the skin with a buildable coverage boosted with prebiotics and hyaluronic acid.

For skincare-infused foundations, it doesn’t get much more powerful than Aimee Connolly’s; with 90 per cent skincare ingredients, Sculpted by Aimee HydraTint, €25, is a tinted serum for a skin-perfecting hint of colour that gives a gleaming, barely-there finish.

Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Natural Matte Tinted Moisturiser, €35.50, is made with a cocktail of skincare heroes for a fresh, natural matte finish that improves the skin with every use.

Breathable and weightless with a natural matte coverage that lasts, Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear, €45, is enriched with a blend of skincare ingredients to revamp your skin.

Weightless, long-lasting and packed with vitamin C, Maybelline New York Super Stay 24H Skin Tint, €15.95, brightens while leaving skin looking like skin.

Highly anticipated and long-awaited, Glossier Stretch Fluid Foundation, €43, is an 89 per cent skincare-based gel-cream formula of powerhouse skincare ingredients and worthy of the hype.

Blendable and buildable, long-lasting and lightweight, Urban Decay Quickie 24H Hydrating Multi- Use Concealer, €33, delivers one-swipe coverage infused with hydrating vitamin E.

With flexible high coverage, Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Concealer, €41, leaves a skin-like finish with minimum feel.

Tinted serum meets foundation in Jones Road What The Foundation, €42, an innovative, seamless blend of fresh-faced coverage with good-for-skin ingredients.

Prada Beauty has officially launched in Brown Thomas with it’s own incredible counter, and a highlight from the range is the refillable, 33-shade strong Prada Beauty Reveal Skin Optimising Refillable Foundation, €58; it requires just one pump to cover your face, suits all skin types and comes infused with vitamin E and niacinamide to tackle skin tone and hydration.

Shiseido Revitalessence Glow Foundation, €56 is a lightweight dewy finish favourite that glides on, is transfer-, crease- and fade-resistant and contains niacinamde and fermented prebiotics for radiant skin.

If you’re just looking for targeted concealing, you can’t do better than YSL All Hours Precise Angles Concealer, €34. When it comes to skincare-infused foundations, this really lives up, with an 85% skincare base of caffeine and jasmine flower extracts for a weightless, creamy finish plus and ultra-precise angled applicator tip that makes precision coverage a breeze.

Vegan, weightless and created with a blend of antioxidant vitamins, the hydrating hit of tint from Rimmel Kind & Free Moisturising Skin Tint, €12.49 gives skin a natural, healthy glow.
