We’ve compiled a list of our best foundations to give you a classically beautiful complexion. Even if your half-shaved lavender ombre hair doesn’t stand the test of time, your foundation always will.

This instant classic from Bobbi Brown comes in an amazing range of shades. You get a killer creamy-but-natural finish, medium-to-full coverage that’s super-buildable, and a lightweight feel.

This long-wearing HD foundation is meant to look good even in high-definition resolution, making it absolutely perfect for photos. It smooths, perfects, and provides an overall gorgeous finish in pictures.
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Oil Free Photo Edition Foundation
If you're concerned with keeping oil production at bay or wary of any foundation that isn’t oil-free, this is the choice for you. With a gorgeous silky finish and a wide range of shade options, Laura Mercier provides a fantastic option for any skin type, but particularly the oilier faces in the crowd.
Not ready to commit to a new product? Got tons of foundations on hand already? No problem. When searching your stash for a photo-ready foundation, just be sure not to use a foundation with any SPF.
Many sun-protection ingredients have a tendency to cause 'flashback', or an unsightly white cast on the skin, in photos. It’s widely debated whether all sunscreens and sunblocks causes flashback, but just to be on the safe side, steer clear of SPF altogether.
Now, all that’s left for you to do is pop on that foundation and pose. You’re ready for your close-up!
