The Best Full Coverage Foundations

It would be the dream if we could have flawless skin all day, every day. But real life gets in the way and even the best of complexions need a little helping hand every now and again. Whether your skin isn’t feeling it’s best or you just fancy a full-frontal makeup look, we’ve rounded up the best full coverage foundations for you to choose from.

Pick your favourite for a truly pore-blurring, long-wearing, skin-perfecting look that hides uneven skin tone, blemishes and scarring.
