Skin-smoothing coverage, hydrating ingredients, and maximum radiance: The best dewy foundations get it all done in a few swipes. Made to mimic the finish you\u2019d get from mixing your daily moisturizer with makeup, these formulas contain ingredients you\u2019d typically find in your favorite serums and creams like \u201chyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin, which work to help improve your skin\u2019s barrier as they hydrate,\u201d says Ron Robinson, a cosmetic chemist and founder of BeautyStat based in New York City. (He\u2019s also a fan of dewy foundations with \u201csqualane, jojoba oil, or avocado oil that can moisturize while helping deliver glow.\u201d)<\/p>\n

      Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> Some beauty products come and go, but Armani Beauty\u2019s Luminous Silk Foundation has been an icon for decades. \u201cOne of the best foundations ever created, it\u2019s the literal definition of perfect when it comes to long-lasting, fresh, glowy-looking skin,\u201d says Kierra Lanice Wray, a makeup artist based in Lansing, Michigan, who uses this foundation on both herself and her clients. The formula\u2019s luminous, second-skin finish delivers just the right amount of radiance without ever veering greasy, while its medium coverage evens out skin tone. Lightweight silicones help it glide on seamlessly, while glycerin\u2014a powerful humectant\u2014keeps skin hydrated. Even after launching 25 years ago, it still sets the bar high for what a dewy foundation should be.<\/p>\n

      \u201cIn college, I used to go to the department store and collect free samples of this foundation to tide me over\u2014I’ve been using it that long. It’s the perfect foundation: It gives me enough coverage to conceal breakouts and dark spots, but never feels heavy or looks overly matte on my skin. I do experiment with other formulas now, but this is my ride-or-die.\u201d \u2014Deanna Pai, contributing commerce editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> Do you want your skin to look lit from within? No matter your skin concerns, we\u2019re guessing the answer is yes. Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation is a silky, hydrating formula (thank you, glycerin and meadowfoam seed oil) that melts into skin to smooth fine lines, blur pores, and instantly brighten dullness with its light-reflecting pigments. The light-to-medium coverage evens out dark spots and redness while keeping your natural radiance front and center. And even though it can last up to 12 hours, it\u2019s so lightweight you forget you\u2019re even wearing anything.<\/p>\n

        \u201cI\u2019m a sucker for a lightweight, dewy base and Chanel Les Beige delivers every time\u2014it contains 40% water, after all, so no wonder it has that melt-into-my-skin texture I’m always looking for. I go in with my (clean!) finger at first, warming it up as I spread before buffing everything in with a foundation brush. It truly feels like I have nothing on and my complexion looks, well, perkier.\u201d \u2014Sarah Han, commerce editor<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> When it comes to foundation, we have high expectations\u2014after all, most of us wear our complexion products for hours (if not all day). So it\u2019s fair to wonder: Can a drugstore formula really keep up? Our pros say e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation is a budget-friendly option that absolutely can. \u201cThe formula has medium but buildable coverage and gives you a radiant, satin finish,\u201d says Wray. With glycerin to keep skin hydrated and fruit extracts like hibiscus, pomegranate, and blueberry to help nourish and balance, it\u2019s a budget-friendly find that performs like a luxury foundation. \u201cIt lasts all day and looks so pretty on the skin\u2014it gives \u2018fresh dew in the morning,\u2019 but still looks skin-like,\u201d says Wray. Plus, it comes in 36 shades for the sweet tune of $9 a bottle.<\/p>\n

            Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> What happens when a posh beauty icon (Victoria Beckham) teams up with an equally posh skin-care brand (Augustinus Bader)? Skin-loving makeup magic. Aside from Bader’s signature TCF8 (vitamins, lipids, and peptides, oh my!), Victoria Beckham Beauty’s The Foundation Drops are also infused with jojoba oil to calm redness, olive leaf extract to help soften texture and fine lines, and echinacea to plump\u2014resulting in a healthy glow and soft-blurred, never-cakey finish. While we think it’d suit all skin times, people with dry and\/or mature skin will especially adore these ultra-lightweight, serum-like drops.

            \u201cThis formula is an absolute dream for my dry skin, fine lines, and hormonal acne. It\u00a0 smooths, blurs, and provides enough coverage that you look like you’ve applied the Paris filter to your face while wearing nothing at all. It’s the opposite of cakey, and doesn’t crease\u2014even in my deeper forehead lines. These foundation drops are supremely lightweight, have a familiar scent (much like Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint, presumably thanks to the mineral ingredients in it), and while it’s pricey compared to my usual products that are half the price, a little goes a long way. The formula floods the skin with even coverage and dries down to a healthy, hydrated glow. On top of that, as I age (rapidly, thanks to two kids with apparently no need for sleep), I love that there’s some Augustinus Bader-powered skin care infused in the product. Am I expecting it to work like SkinCeuticals’ P-Tiox? No, but I love that it’s oriented like skin care, rather than detracting from my routine. It’s non-comedogenic, which is so important to me in tints and foundations, since my skin is so prone to breakouts. One thing to note: Like many foundations, the color may appear a little strong at first, but it dries down to a beautiful, natural finish. I’m a perfect match for Medium, which has lovely golden undertones.\u201d\u00a0\u2014Shanna Shipin, shopping director<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

              Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> Saie chases glow with all its products, but the Glowy Super Skin Tint Liquid Foundation takes it to the next level. This makeup and skin care hybrid is packed with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and polyglutamic acid (three powerful humectants) to attract water and drench skin in lasting moisture, while rice bran peptides help smooth texture, fade dark spots, and brighten tone. Squalane seals it in for radiance and bounce. The texture is so lightweight and serum-like that it just sinks right in, giving you easy, light-to-medium coverage that looks like your skin\u2014just glowier.<\/p>\n

              \u201cThe glow is real with this one. I\u2019ve got dry skin and a fair amount of melasma (thanks, post-pregnancy), and while it takes a bit of extra blending with my brush compared to the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation on this list\u2014which I also love for dewiness\u2014it gives me more buildable coverage and the prettiest sheen. I usually rely on a layer of cream bronzer and highlighter to top off my look, but I feel like I can skip them with this foundation.\u201d \u2014Christa Joanna Lee, contributing commerce writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                Why it\u2019s worth it:<\/strong> Uneven texture can happen for a variety of reasons\u2014dry patches, leftover breakouts, fine lines, or just skin being skin. Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Skin Tint Foundation smooths it all out while giving your complexion that naturally radiant, healthy-skin glow. \u201cIt\u2019s light-to-medium coverage, corrects imperfections, and the formula is so hydrating it feels like skin care,\u201d says Wray. Speaking of skin care, it\u2019s packed with ingredients you\u2019d normally find in a luxe serum: vegan collagen peptides to refine texture and plump fine lines, ceramides to strengthen and repair your barrier, and sodium hyaluronate for deep hydration. Cactus extract calms irritation and adds antioxidant protection, while vegan squalane locks in moisture for an all-day, soft-focus finish. It\u2019s no wonder this formula earned a 2024 Best of Beauty Award\u2014it\u2019s skin care and makeup in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n

Ilia\u2019s Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 is somehow all three\u2014and that\u2019s what makes it so special. This multitasking formula blurs the line between makeup and skin care, delivering a dewy, hydrated glow with the bonus of broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection from 12% zinc oxide. The formula stars squalane, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid that team up to smooth texture, brighten tone, and lock in lasting moisture. \u201cIt\u2019s dewy in the way that you\u2019re dewy after a bit of light exercise\u2014just a soft, gentle glow. With a sheer finish and zero shimmer, this lightweight tint is what I reach for when I want skin to feel enhanced and perfected,\u201d says Fiona Stiles, a makeup artist based in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

                    While I much prefer a medium-coverage foundation, on days when I need something a tad lighter, I reach for the Haus Labs foundation. Even though it\u2019s buildable, I usually only apply a single layer (with my fingers) and after my concealer is on, I\u2019ll go back in with a makeup sponge (love you, Beautyblender) to even out the dewy finish. It wears well, but I always notice near the end of the day, it starts to sheer out, so keep that in mind if you\u2019re looking for something super long-wear. Shade-wise, I know it\u2019s the bare minimum to expect a brand to have my exact shade, but I really like that this foundation is a perfect match for my fair skin and neutral undertone. (I\u2019m shade 120 Light Warm, by the way.)\u201d \u2014Sarah Kinonen, Allure<\/em> associate beauty director<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In other words: Skin looks instantly smoother and more luminous, and continues to feel even better the more you wear it.<\/p>\n

The silky, medium-coverage formula blends seamlessly and leaves skin looking naturally radiant, not shiny. Hydrating ingredients like glycerin and butylene glycol keep skin smooth and comfortable all day, while brightening kakadu plum and balancing cyperus root extract help improve tone and texture over time. While it\u2019s definitely more hydrating than the brand\u2019s original Pro Filt\u2019r Matte Foundation, it doesn\u2019t feel greasy and easily holds up on all skin types.<\/p>\n

                          Why it’s worth it:<\/strong> We\u2019re always here for a travel-friendly foundation, but Charlotte Tilbury\u2019s Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick is in a league of its own. Unlike most foundation sticks that skew matte, full coverage, or both, this one feels like a dewy skin tint in stick form. It\u2019s infused with hyaluronic acid and pearlescent filters that catch the light just right; the brand claims it\u2019s like carrying a built-in ring light (and our tester would fully agree). Daikon radish seed oil and vitamin E keep skin hydrated and happy, so the glow looks fresh. And while it\u2019s definitely more of a tint than full coverage, the stick format makes it super easy to touch up on the go whenever you need a little extra glow.<\/p>\n

                            \n

                            Which foundation is best for a dewy look?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                            Any non-matte foundation with hydrating ingredients can give you a dewy look, but we recommend sticking to this list for the best foundations we\u2019ve tested. Decide what kind of formula you want\u2014liquid, cream, or cushion\u2014and your ideal level of coverage, and go from there. While a few of our picks deliver medium-to-full coverage (like Fenty and TirTir)<\/del>, many dewy foundations tend to be sheer. You can always pair light-coverage dewy foundations with concealer anywhere you need extra coverage.<\/p>\n

                            Remember: Application is just as important as choosing the right formula for you. \u201cDewy makeup requires skin prep to perform at its ultimate potential,\u201d says Kirin Bhatty, a celebrity makeup artist based in New York City and Los Angeles. \u201cMake sure your skin is hydrated, exfoliated, and primed to ensure your dewy makeup lasts and gives you the results you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

                            \n

                            Can those with oily skin wear dewy foundation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                            The short answer: Yes. If you have oily or combination skin, you have two options for dewy foundation. The first is picking a formula designed for all-day wear, like Fenty Beauty\u2019s Soft\u2019Lit. You can also pair it with products that absorb oil and extend the wear time of your foundation. \u201cPeople with oily skin can definitely wear dewy foundation, but the secret to wearing it well is utilizing things like a mattifying primer to make sure that your skin doesn\u2019t eat your makeup,\u201d says Bhatty. \u201cThis will also ensure that you glow in the places that you want to glow and stay matte where you need to be matte.\u201d Used as a base layer, a mattifying primer won\u2019t cancel out the dewy finish of your foundation. \u201cIt will just extend the wear,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

                            What is the best long-lasting foundation with a dewy finish?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                            The dewy foundations with the best wear time on our list are e.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Foundation, Nars Light Reflecting Foundation, Fenty Beauty Soft\u2019Lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation, and Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation.<\/p>\n

                            That said, you can extend the wear time of any dewy foundation with makeup primer. \u201cI often use a hybrid of primers like a mattifying primer on the nose, forehead, and chin and a hydrating primer everywhere else,\u201d says Bhatty. If you have oily skin, stick to a mattifying primer on your entire face.<\/p>\n

                            Robinson says skin prep is also key to ensuring your dewy foundation wears longer. \u201cA gentle cleanser will remove any residual dirt and oil,\u201d he says. \u201cThen I recommend using a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin.\u201d These two steps will help create a smoother base for your foundation. Before you apply your makeup, finish with a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, this will also prevent your foundation from clinging to dry patches.<\/p>\n

                              How we test and review products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                              Before reviewing any makeup, we ask questions about a number of factors: What ingredients are in it? Does the brand offer a wide shade range inclusive of consumers with all skin tones and undertones? Is it safe for readers who have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses? Is it on the affordable side or more of a splurge? Is its packaging consciously designed or needlessly wasteful?<\/p>\n

                              For our review of the best dewy foundations, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, contributors, cosmetic chemists, and professional makeup artists to review the products. This ensures our testing base spans different skin tones, genders, and dermatological conditions. We considered each product’s performance across four primary categories: ingredients, wear and longevity, packaging, and inclusivity. For more on what’s involved in our reporting, check out our complete reviews process and methodology page.<\/p>\n

                              Our staff and testers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

                              A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors\u2014in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon\u2014is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n

                              After all, can we really<\/em> say a skin-care product is the “best” for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it’s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n
