The Best Natural Looking Foundations That Keep Your Face From Looking Cakey

A good face of makeup always starts with a good base. Now that the natural look is in, many people are switching to tinted moisturisers or BB creams. If you’re not that comfortable with your skin and still want the higher coverage of foundation, look no further. Here are some recommendations for the best natural looking foundations that keep your face from looking cakey.

1. BareMinerals Bare Pro Foundation

BareMinerals is one of the best places to check for natural looking foundation — it’s in their name! Their newest foundation, Bare Pro, is full coverage for 24 hours but still has a finish that looks and feels like skin.

2. NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

NARS’ founder believes in great skin, so he has created this longwear foundation that gives you perfect-looking skin while still being natural instead of cakey. This foundation lasts for 16 hours, and although it’s full coverage, it’s super breathable.

3. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

Trick people into believing you were born with perfect skin by wearing Too Faced’s Born This Way foundation. The coverage on this is buildable and will help hide any imperfections while still remaining completely undetectable.

4. Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick

If you’re oily or acne prone, this is a great natural looking foundation that will help hide the appearance of blemishes without ever looking cakey. This foundation glides effortlessly onto the skin and can be built up or sheered out depending on how you apply it.

5. Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation

For a perfect base that feels ultra lightweight, Becca’s Aqua Luminous foundation is the one for you. This one is water based so it won’t irritate oily or acne prone skin. The formula is sheer enough to look natural, but still blurs out imperfections.

6. Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation

This is definitely a luxury foundation, but Chantecaille is one of the best brands out there for creating skin-like bases. The future skin foundation has a gel-like consistency that blends out beautifully on skin and can be built up to hide even the worst blemishes. Definitely a true winner.

7. Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation

For skin that looks like skin and is never flakey or cakey, Urban Decay’s Naked Skin foundation is a safe bet. This light diffusing formula will make your skin look absolutely flawless without looking or feeling too heavy.
