11 of the Best Foundations For Brides, According to Top Makeup Artists

Without a doubt, Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation ($65) is one of the most popular makeup-artist-recommended foundations. "It does what it says on the bottle," Gallagher says. "It's very lightweight, gives your skin a lovely luminosity without being overly shiny. It has an eggshell-type finish, which means it photographs beautifully," she adds.

Ruby Hammer, MBE, holds this as her all-time favorite bridal foundation, noting, "It looks really, really good in any light and also when being photographed." In addition to that, both makeup artists said that it's one of the few foundations that is incredibly buildable without ever feeling cake-y. "It also feels nice and light for the bride so she won't feel overwhelmed or heavy," Hammer says. Parmar echoes this: "It's lightweight but has coverage and is buildable."
