Best All-Rounder

Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation, £41 | NARS

When it comes to shade range and finishes, the NARS complexion products are hard to beat. This is one of the higher-coverage bases on this list – it’s more medium-to-full with an impressive 16-hour wear – but the transfer-resistant, sweat-resistant formula is perfect for the high heat of summer. Enriched with a unique blend of pigments and skin-loving ingredients like raspberry and watermelon extracts, it also works to improve skin's appearance over time.

M·A·C’s Strobe Dewy Skin Tint has everything we’ve come to expect from a quality skin tint: hyaluronic acid, shea butter, vitamin E and squalane. It has a cooling gel-balm texture that provides sheer and buildable coverage with up to eight hours of hydration, while the glowy finish has an almost iridescent look to it.

Best For Sun Protection

Super Serum Skin Tint Spf 30, £48 | Ilia Beauty

Ilia’s lightweight tinted serum has a luminous finish, contains mineral SPF and offers an array of added skincare benefits. Formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, it delivers mineral protection against UVA, UVB and UVC rays, and blue light, without leaving any white residue behind. On application, it appears lighter to make sure you aren’t missing any spots. Then, it dries down to your exact shade and blends into the skin. Free from silicones, oils, fragrances and chemical sunscreens, it's dermatologist-tested to be non-comedogenic and gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Its buildable and weightless formula ensures up to 12 hours of flawless wear; it’s infused with fermented kefir and niacinamide to boost hydration, support the skin's natural pH balance and improve the look of your complexion over time.
