Tinted moisturizers had their moment in 2020, but foundation is making a comeback. Innovative formulas are emerging that are just as lightweight as tinted moisturizers but provide more coverage. One that we’re seeing everywhere is the new Valentino Beauty Very Valentino 24 Hour Wear Liquid Foundation that launched in July with 40 inclusive shades. Below, find our editors’ honest reviews to see if it truly lives up to the hype. Mary, Associate EditorShade: LA2As someone who hasn’t worn foundation for the past five years — especially not in the summertime — I was nervous to try this new one from Valentino. I’ve always struggled to find a foundation that seamlessly blends into my skin and doesn’t cake after hours of wear. Upon first application with a damp makeup sponge, I was pleasantly surprised that it beautifully blended into my skin evening out my red spots and leaving me with a flawless, soft-matte complexion. The true test was how it looked after a day's wear, though. The foundation felt weightless and breathable during a scorching New York summer day and did not budge despite how much my face sweat. I never thought I’d begin regularly using foundation again, but I’ve worn it every day since — and I’m convinced I won’t find one better than this.
