Move Over Cushion Compacts — These New Gen Skin-Loving Serum Foundations Are The Next Big Thing

If you’re one to always have thick makeup on throughout the day but still want your skin to look good, then serum foundations are going to be your next BFFs.

by SOFIA KIM  /   September 27, 2018
When it comes to choosing the perfect foundation, it’s safe to say our demands and expectations have definitely shifted from say, a decade — or even just a few years — ago. What exactly do we look for in a foundation today? One that’s uber lightweight (almost like a second-skin finish) and feels comfortable on our skin. One that gives great (or at least buildable) coverage without looking cakey or feeling too heavy and lastly, one that’s packed with a ton of skin-loving benefits to nourish, protect and repair our complexion.
And no, it’s not that tough to find a foundation that suits our needs now. While many prefer tinted moisturisers and BB cushions or creams for its weightless feel, those do not last and may not give sufficient coverage many a time. But now, there’s a new generation of foundations that are set to break every beauty boundary: serum foundations.
Not only do the textures mimic that of serums, but they also provide the nourishment any serum would do. And since they are foundations, they also give awesome coverage and some reportedly last throughout the day. Really, what’s not to like?
Here, the ones we have on rotation plus some that we can’t wait to try.

#1: Three Angelic Synthesis Foundation Serum, $85

As its name suggests, this features a formula that is made with a foundation and a daytime skincare serum. It contains 83 per cent naturally derived ingredients including a rich blend of botanical oils and extracts to hydrate and nourish complexions. It is also formulated with three types of powders known as Clear Crystal, Translucent and Silky Fit. These work together with the serum portion to create a formula that (once applied on skin) reflects light to impart a gorgeous glow and radiance.

#2: Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Hydrating Foundation SPF 15, $62

With a serum texture, this weightless foundation is meant to cover up imperfections while still giving a natural, “barely-there” finish. It reportedly contains just the right amount of pigments in a blend of silky, non-greasy oils like Mary’s thistle oil to freshen and perk up the look of dull complexions. The best part? It is also said to hydrate skin for up to 24 hours and is even made with an anti-pollution complex.

#3: Diorskin Nude Air Nude Healthy Glow Ultra-fluid Serum Foundation SPF25/PA++, $88
image

Powered by the brand’s Oxygen Activ technology, which is made up of vitamins, minerals and plant oils such as cranberry oil, this skincare-infused makeup provides antioxidant benefits. It is also formulated with a hyper-oxygenated oil that is packed with air bubbles that reportedly stimulate and perk up dull, tired complexions. With buildable coverage, this weightless foundation feels like second skin and gives a velvety matte finish.

#4: By Terry Terrybly Densiliss Wrinkle Control Serum Foundation, $165
image

Packed with a ton of skincare benefits, this helps to treat wrinkles thanks to a patented rejuvenating active ingredient and an optimal makeup correction that targets fine lines and loose, sagging skin.

 

#5: Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Serum SPF30, US$48.47 (S$66), www.net-a-porter.com
image

This lightweight anti-ageing treatment imparts a radiant, healthy-looking glow to your complexion with a semi-matte finish while treating common signs of ageing like wrinkles and fine lines.

#6: Etude House Double Lasting Serum Foundation
image

While this may not be available in Singapore yet, it’s already out in Seoul so if you plan on making a trip to the Asian beauty mecca, remember to get a bottle for yourself. We love the brand’s Double Lasting Foundation but now, it comes in an even more lightweight texture as well as multiple skincare benefits. Infused with 61 per cent of panthenol, hyaluronic acid and ceramides, this will ensure skin stays hydrated throughout the day. It is even equipped with a Double Glow and Moisture Fit Technology to impart longlasting radiance and coverage.
