Water-based foundations are a great option if you’re looking for coverage and hydration. They work to keep your skin looking and feeling moisturized, fresh, and flake-free, but don’t overdo it with excess dew or shine. Ahead, we rounded up the best water-based formulas to shop this spring to give your foundation routine a pick-me-up.For Dry Skin: L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow FoundationLightweight and creamy, this hydrating foundation is perfect for those with medium to dry skin. It offers a smooth, glowy finish that lasts for up to 24 hours.Our Luxury Pick for a Flawless Finish: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk FoundationThis silky formula from Armani is a cult-favorite for good reason: it not only provides a full-coverage finish, but it keeps you hydrated with its water-based and glycerin-infused formula. The result is a flawless, luminous complexion.Our Drugstore Pick: Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte + Poreless FoundationIt's no surprise that so many people love this drugstore classic that comes in 40 shades. Apply one layer for light coverage, or two layers for a more full-coverage finish. No matter how you wear it, it will keep your skin looking hydrated, soft, and supple throughout your wear.Our Full Coverage Pick: Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear FoundationFor a long-wearing option that's water-based and ultra moisturizing, opt for Ultra Wear. It has a medium to full-coverage finish that appears naturally matte when applied to the skin. It also works to hide uneven skin texture and comes in 50 shades.For Acne Prone Skin: IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream Natural MatteIf you have acne-prone skin but struggle with dryness and flaking, try this CC cream. It contains a combination of Air Licium®, lentil seed extract, and hyaluronic acid to help prevent the look of dry patches while reducing the look of shine — helping address excess oil and minimize the look of your pores.For The “No Makeup Makeup” Look: NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Blur Tint FoundationAnother foundation alternative, this skin tint is a must-try if you're dealing with a dull, dry complexion. It provides lightweight coverage but packs a punch when it comes to luminosity thanks to its water-based formula. Use this on days when you want a no-makeup makeup finish.
