Hopefully the days of five-shade foundation collections are over. More and more brands — among them Huda Beauty, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, and Kylie Cosmetics — are challenging the standard beauty quo. They are creating expansive ranges in an attempt to make beauty more accessible. After all, makeup should be about enhancing the real you, and that means starting with a base that reflects your natural skin tone.

To help you out, we've broken down 12 foundations with the largest (30 plus) spectrums at Sephora. Each has its own unique benefits (SPF! Anti-aging! Undertones!) to further personalize your experience. Browse through to find your perfect fit.
