Before we dive into our list of the foundation must-haves, we will first discuss the things that need to be considered before you choose a foundation for yourself. First of all, you need to find your skin tone, identifying whether you fall under the light, medium, or deep category! After establishing that, you need to identify your skin undertone, which refers to the colour that comes through the skin from underneath its surface ranging from cool, neutral, and warm tones. Finally comes the last part, which is choosing the foundation shade, which can be easily done after you have the skin tone and skin undertone identified. Hereby, the following is the list of the 5 best foundation must-haves, tried and tested foundations that will not disappoint you!
