Vogue's word: for anyone who has ever had a tough time with their skin, this is the foundation you've always dreamed of. Easily buildable, Even Better Clinical not only guarantees coverage but also reveals a natural and instantly enhanced effect.

Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation, €55.99, Lancôme, at Sephora.pt

Promises: to cover all imperfections on various skin types, from the driest and most sensitive to oily and acne-prone. Vogue's word: with a renewed formula, this iconic foundation - which has long had a captive place in our make-up bag - has renewed its status as a must-have. In this improved version, it is enriched with hyaluronic acid and has ultramarine green and blue oxide pigments, which means it will result in the shade that best suits us. Highly comfortable and without leaving a heavy or exaggerated effect, Idole Ultra Wear delivers on its promises of relentless coverage - and all with SPF 35. 

Studio Radiance Serum-Powered™ Foundation, € 52, MAC

Promises: luminous, hydrated skin while covering imperfections with buildable coverage. Vogue's word: We knew this choice would be a hit, or MAC foundations wouldn't be a decade-long favorite of so many. The skin is visibly illuminated and radiant, living up to the product's name. Extremely easy to apply and blend, it covers unwanted marks without looking heavy or “too much”. What's more, because it was formulated first as a skincare product - containing hyaluronic acid and moisturizing ingredients - and only then as a foundation, it is the skin's best friend, especially for normal and dry skin. 

High-coverage 2-in-1 foundation and concealer, €19.99, Kiko Milano.

Promises: to conceal and minimize all imperfections, giving a second-skin effect. Vogue's word: With a creamy, velvety texture that blends perfectly into the skin and is easy to apply even for a beginner in the world of make-up, this foundation ensures high coverage and hides dark circles and blemishes without difficulty. The rounded tip applicator makes it ideal for more precise touch-ups, as this foundation is also a concealer. Combination and oily skins are the ideal target for this product, which is also great to carry in our purse and use in unexpected situations when an extra touch-up is needed.
