The Best Foundations That Won't Dry Out Your Skin
6 Foundations That Won't Dry Out Your Skin, Just in Time For Crisp Fall Days

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
When the weather changes, we need to start paying more attention to our skin, because it changes too. Namely, when the air gets dry, so too does our skin. We love wearing foundation, but we don't always love the way it dries out our skin, especially when we're already trying to maintain our moisture levels. Whether you want a full-coverage product or something that gives a more natural finish, finding a great product that keeps you looking and feeling hydrated is a game changer. So, we found six products that do just that.
These foundations will give you a beautiful, even canvas, whether you want a full face beat or prefer a little no-makeup makeup. Plus, they're all available at Sephora, which is our beauty happy place. These products are editor tested, and beloved by both our staff members and customers alike. What are you waiting for?
