❤️ 10 FAVORITE FOUNDATIONS of 2023 ❤️

Introduction

Welcome to my favorite foundations of 2023! As a quick reference, I have combination skin, which means I tend to be more oily in the center but have normal to dry skin on the outer parts of my face. Being 51 years old, my skin is more mature and shows fine lines and expression wrinkles, especially when I smile. I also deal with dark spots, but I prefer natural foundations that enhance my skin rather than provide full coverage. Below are several picks that have particularly impressed me this year.

Lightweight Foundations

1. Chanel Water Fresh Tint
   Currently wearing the Water Fresh Tint in Medium Plus, I love its lightweight feel. Despite it being winter, it provides a refreshing look to my skin. The encapsulated powder helps set the foundation without feeling heavy or looking overly glowy. I find that it has a natural finish, making my skin look fresh and healthy.

2. Shantali Future Skin
   This is an imperceptible foundation that blurs imperfections rather than concealing them. The formula is excellent for normal to dry skin types while still performing well on my oily areas. The shade Cream offers a brightening effect, which is perfect for enhancing my natural complexion.

3. Shantali Face Tint
   This product has a pudding-like consistency and gives a beautiful filtered effect that softens the appearance of my skin. I typically save it for summer but can use it as bronzer during other times of the year. If you're a couple of shades deeper than me, this might be a hidden gem for you.

4. Aeris Plan A
   Despite being skeptical at first, this foundation has pleasantly surprised me. It has an olive undertone, which means I have to be careful with how much I apply. It has a soft-focus effect and contains SPF 30 without leaving a white cast. This has been a daily wear for me, especially as I prepare for travel.

Medium Coverage Foundations

5. Chanel Sublimage Foundation
   This foundation boasts skincare benefits while providing a more refined and elegant finish. With a serum-like texture, it’s perfect for special occasions. Although the shade B40 works for me, I find that BD—the beige variant—is a better undertone.

6. Clé de Peau Radiant Cream Foundation
   Known for its flattering products, Clé de Peau's foundation offers a radiant finish and SPF 25. I have it in shade 030, which fits my undertone perfectly. The packaging in a tube makes it easy to use, while its lightweight feel doesn’t emphasize fine lines.

7. Shantali Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer
   Available in multiple shades including Glow and Tan, this moisturizer achieves a balance of coverage and hydration. It doesn’t just look good when applied; it continues to impress me even after several hours of wear.

Full Coverage Foundations

8. Chanel Ultra Le Teint
   Recognized by many, this foundation can appear more makeup-like than others, which is why I don’t wear it every day. However, when I'm in need of long-wear, full coverage, this is my go-to option.

9. Shantali Future Skin Cushion
   This unique cushion foundation not only provides coverage but doubles as a concealer for dimming dark spots. Its self-setting properties make it suitable even in humid climates, as it blends well without becoming too dewy.

10. Chanel Sublimage Le Teint
    Another favorite of mine for full coverage looks, it has a creamy texture. Unlike other full-coverage options, it improves over time, making it a strong contender in my makeup arsenal.
