Makeup base with spf

New products, thanks to which every woman can look flawless, are developed every year. And what motivates cosmetics manufacturers to do this is precisely the desire of the fair sex for perfection. Therefore, such a product as a makeup base quickly became popular and in demand. Not all women use the services of makeup artists, so it was they who gave a worthy assessment to bases and foundations for makeup. Foundation does not always cope with a number of facial skin imperfections, which cannot be said about the foundation. In addition, it is with its use that you can change your complexion, visually, of course, and radically transform.

All means are different and it is impossible to immediately say which is better. After all, women’s preferences also differ significantly. That's why we've compiled a rating of the best makeup bases based on customer reviews and expert opinions.

Premium makeup bases

The products that we have classified in this category are not available to every woman due to their cost. But such basics are quite good and have few disadvantages. Often, the products perform all the functions declared by the manufacturer, with rare exceptions. At the same time, a fairly large part of the female population prefers just such products.

Face foundation from M.A.C

The creamy primer is quickly absorbed, despite the powerful sun protection factor SPF 50. The product gives the skin a barely noticeable pearly glow and visually evens out the texture. If there are no obvious imperfections on your face, then powder over primer will be quite enough for everyday summer makeup. You can buy the product in brand stores.

Makeup base from Dolce & Gabbana

The primer gives the skin radiance and evens out the texture, and thanks to its silky texture, it makes it easy to blend other products. Immediately after application, the primer whitens the face a little, so it is better to let it absorb before the next step. The product can be purchased on the websites of the Rive Gauche and Ile de Beaute stores.

Moisturizing makeup base from Make Up For Ever

Thanks to its texture, the primer can be used as a stand-alone product or mixed with foundation. Excellent for dry and dehydrated skin, it smoothes out flaking immediately after application. Contains vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. The product can be purchased on the websites of the Rive Gauche and Ile de Beaute stores.

Cream - makeup base from Bobbi Brown

The caring base does not require cream and contains caffeine and seaweed extract to tone and retain moisture. The texture of the product is liquid, so it is used sparingly. You can buy the primer in the brand’s stores, Rive Gauche and Ile de Beaute.

Makeup base from Colorescience

With a non-sticky gel texture, this clear primer absorbs quickly and doesn't feel at all on your face. The base is especially suitable for sensitive skin because the formula is enriched with soothing essential oils and extracts. The product can be purchased at the Pudra online store.

Urban Decay Makeup Base

Transparent gel primer with sesame tree oil, tomato extract and squalane effectively moisturizes the skin and visibly evens out the skin's texture, without leaving white marks or a sticky film. You can buy the product in brand stores.

Makeup base from Dior

A primer with a lotion texture, a moisturizing and mattifying effect, slightly lightens redness and evens out the surface of the skin. In addition, the primer prolongs the durability of foundations. The protection factor SPF20 is quite enough for the city. The base can be purchased on the websites of the Rive Gauche and Ile de Beaute stores.

Chantecaille Sunscreen Primer

The anti-aging base with UVA and UVB protection contains carnosine, which promotes collagen production to maintain skin elasticity. The product can be purchased at the Pudra online store and at TSUM.

When it’s summer outside, the problem of applying makeup for girls becomes more complicated: in hot conditions, low-quality cosmetics simply “flow” along with the secretions of the sweat glands. Therefore, it's time to talk about what serves the basis for flawless makeup, that is, about primers. We offer the TOP 10 makeup bases from the point of view of the fairer sex, omitting the superlatives used in advertising slogans.

Which makeup base is better: inexpensive or luxury?

The eternal question of whether to prefer an affordable price or buy something more expensive is something every woman decides for herself. It has long been proven that the most important thing in cosmetics is how it suits YOUR skin. Hence the relativity of compiling ratings - what has become a panacea for thousands of lucky women before you can fail on your face. However, the number of positive reviews indicates quality, so we explore women’s forums to evaluate makeup bases.

We take several indicators as a basis:

  1. how effectively the base evens out the complexion, hides skin imperfections,
  2. does it keep makeup in perfect condition for a long time,
  3. Is it suitable for all skin types (if not, then what kind of skin owners should beware of purchasing),
  4. Naturally, the cost.
