As beauty routines become increasingly streamlined, complexion products are doing more than simply providing coverage.
Today’s foundations and skin tints are combining makeup with skincare benefits, while offering textures and finishes designed to suit different needs and lifestyles.
From long-wearing formulas made for hot, humid weather to lightweight options for everyday wear, they often put comfort and performance at the forefront.
Luxe, reinvented
The latest addition to its exclusive complexion range, Guerlain introduces the Parure Gold Skin Serum Foundation, a product that blurs the boundary between makeup and skincare.
Featuring a combination of 24-karat gold, white peony extract and black bee honey, the foundation promises to deliver an unparalleled finish along with skin-transforming results.
With its 24-hour colour stability and wearability, it’s suitable for everyday use.

Total control
Lightweight and breathable, the Estee Lauder Double Wear SkinFit cushion foundation boasts a smoothing mesh technology, resulting in a seamless finish.
The skin-caring formula also features blends that help control shine while simultaneously moisturising the skin, keeping the skin balanced and happy at all times.
It’s also heat and humidity resistant. Even if you do need a refresh, the ultra slim compact is ideal for effortless touch-ups, even when on the go.
Ultimate longevity
Touted for its monsoon-proof quality, the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Max cushion is equipped with the latest innovations to survive tropical weather.
With up to 30 hours of wear time, the high-performance formula incorporates humidity-proof and water-resistant technology to keep the makeup fresh, come rain or shine.
Additionally, the lightweight texture is also imbued with niacinamide and panthenol to nourish the skin while protecting it from external stressors.
Flexible match
No more guesswork with the Tarte CC Tinted Serum. The latest complexion solution is powered by encapsulated pigments that seamlessly adapt to your skin tone as you blend.
Wear it alone for a light, unified skin tone or layer additional coverage to get a blemish-free canvas.
Weightless and waterproof, the CC cream also helps to smooth texture and even out imperfections with the Smart Clay Complex.

Seamless fit
For most days, a light layer of coverage does the trick. Not only does it keep you comfortable throughout the day, but it’s also easier to reapply.
The It Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm checks all these boxes.
Fortified with peptides, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, the formula will, over time, enhance the bare skin underneath it.
The application, be it with a brush or your fingers, is practically mistake-proof. When worn, the face balm creates a natural radiant finish, perfect for daily wear.
