What Is Foundation Makeup?

Foundation serves as a base or canvas for the rest of your makeup look. When used properly, it has the added benefit of evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of blemishes and imperfections. There are different levels of foundation coverage, so you can customize your face makeup routine.

What are the different types of foundation makeup?

There are several types of foundation makeup, each with its own benefits for different skin types. The different types of Estée Lauder foundation include:
• Liquid foundations like our best-selling Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup. Fresh matte finish with medium-to-full buildable coverage.
• Powder foundations like our Double Wear Matte Powder Foundation. Custom matte coverage. Reduces the look of pores and controls oil.
• Skin tints like our Futurist SkinTint Serum. Sheer, tinted skin tone perfector with skincaring benefits. Ultra-radiant finish with light coverage.

How long does foundation makeup last?

Every foundation is different—and the wear time will depend on your chosen formula. Our Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup, for example, provides 24-hour wear. Our lighter coverage Double Wear Sheer Long-Wear Makeup has 12-hour staying power.
