Our selection of foundation: new arrivals & best-sellers


Finding the foundation that’s perfect for you is like finding a second skin. Do you need light coverage for those “off” days? Full coverage for a night out? Or a luminous finish that enhances your complexion? MyOrigines brings together the best foundations from the biggest beauty brands. From Guerlain’s Terracotta Le Teint to the iconic Double Wear by Estée Lauder, and even Dior Forever, Lancôme’s L’Idôle and L'Oréal's Infaillible—here you’ll find the must-have products from our Complexion line, featuring high-end foundation and luxury foundation formulas at unbeatable prices.


Liquid foundation


The liquid foundation is the most versatile and popular formula. Its light, creamy texture suits all skin types and allows for quick, even, and buildable application. With this foundation, you can adjust the coverage by layering it: a single application is enough for a natural finish for everyday use, while two layers provide medium to full coverage for occasions that call for it.

Modern liquid formulas incorporate active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which hydrates and plumps your skin throughout the day, or an SPF for light sun protection in your daily routine. Some products offer 16- to 24-hour wear, or even a waterproof and no-transfer effect—ideal for busy days or important events.

Among the best-selling liquid foundations in our store: the Dior Forever with its second-skin finish, Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-in-Place for flawless, long-lasting matte coverage, and Guerlain’s Terracotta Le Teint for a natural, healthy glow.


Powder foundation


The powder foundation   is the best solution for combination to oily skin types looking for an elegant matte finish  elegant finish. Its dry formula absorbs oil, evens out the complexion, and slips easily into a bag for touch-ups throughout the day, just before an important appointment.

The compact foundation offers the advantage of quick application and light-to-medium coverage, which is ideal for normal skin that wants to even out its complexion without overcomplicating its routine. Some powder formulas also include moisturizing ingredients or an SPF so you don’t neglect skincare while applying makeup.

For dry or mature skin, powder foundation is best used as a finishing touch, applied over a moisturizing liquid foundation, to avoid a powdery effect that accentuates fine lines.


Stick foundation


Practical, precise, and portable, the foundation stick is perfect for targeted touch-ups or for quick application without a brush or sponge. Its creamy texture—a cross between cream foundation and a concealer stick—typically provides medium to full coverage, perfect for concealing localized imperfections, dark circles, or redness.

The stick blends easily with your fingertips for a seamless, natural finish. It is particularly suitable for dry skin and normal skin, and can be used alone or under a lighter liquid foundation. The latest formulas incorporate nourishing active ingredients for all-day comfort.


What type of finish should you choose?


The finish of your foundation determines the final look of your makeup. So it’s not something to take lightly—quite the opposite!
Here are the main categories to help you make the right choice:


How to choose the right foundation?


Choosing the right foundation  that suits your skin can sometimes be a challenge. You try 1, 2, 3… But you’re not really sure which one is the perfect match for you. To find it, several factors come into play to help you identify the formula that will work best for you.


Skin Type


Your skin type is the first factor to consider:

Coverage

Coverage determines the level of correction provided by your foundation:


How do you apply foundation?


The application technique affects the finish just as much as the formula itself. Here are the three main methods:


With a brush


The flat foundation brush, angled, or kabuki brush provides precise application and buildable coverage. Apply the product from the center of the face outward, using circular motions or light tapping for a seamless finish. The brush works well with all types of foundation, including liquid and cream formulas.

Here are the best foundation brushes available at MyOrigines:


With a sponge


Thesponge (or beauty blender), when dampened, is the technique of choice among professional makeup artists for a natural look and “flawless” skin. In fact,  it slightly dilutes the product, resulting in a lighter, more airy finish and preventing a mask-like effect. The sponge works very well with fluid formulas and is ideal for those seeking a natural finish or a second-skin effect.

Frequently Asked Questions


What are the best foundations?


The best foundations depend above all on your skin type, the coverage you want, and the finish you’re looking for. Among the products most highly rated by beauty experts and consumers:

What is the best moisturizing foundation for mature skin?


For mature skin, opt for a foundation enriched with hyaluronic acid or plumping ingredients, with a luminous or satin finish that restores radiance without accentuating wrinkles. Lightweight, fluid formulas with medium coverage are generally the most flattering. Avoid ultra-full-coverage and very matte foundations, which tend to settle into fine lines and weigh down the complexion. The Dior Forever Skin Glow or skincare-makeup formulas enriched with anti-aging ingredients are excellent starting points.


Which foundation should you use after age 60?


After age 60, your skin needs softness, hydration, and radiance. For this, you should opt for a hydrating foundation  such as the Dior Forever Hydra Nude with a luminous or natural finish and light to medium coverage. Formulas that are too powdery or too opaque accentuate wrinkles and dry patches. A fluid foundation enriched with hyaluronic acid, applied with a damp sponge, gives the most natural and flattering results. The shade must be chosen carefully so as not to weigh down the complexion: opt for a slightly luminous shade rather than one that’s too dark.


What is the world’s best-selling foundation?


Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-in-Place is regularly cited as one of the world’s best-selling foundations, with a reputation as a global bestseller built over more than 30 years. The brand itself claims that one unit is sold every few seconds worldwide. Its long-lasting wear, buildable coverage, 24-hour wear, and extensive shade range make it an essential staple in high-end foundation makeup.
