Triclone Skin Tech Foundation With Fermented Arnica, £28 (was £42) | Haus Labs 

Haus Labs is Lady Gaga’s make-up brand, but this product went viral on TikTok for its ability to seamlessly blur and achieve a flawless-looking coverage. Made with 20+ skincare ingredients, it has a serum-like texture that can be blended in with your hands, a brush or a sponge, depending on the coverage you’re after. Improving the look and feel of your skin with each wear, this is an outstanding everyday, radiance-boosting hero.

Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation, £39 | NARS

On first pump, you’ll understand why this one’s on our list of the best. With a thin, liquid texture, it's surprising how impressive its coverage payoff is. Effortless to apply and blend, it dries to a natural, luminous finish that feels weightless, without any excessive oiliness or glow. Simply set it with a lightweight setting powder to avoid it slipping off throughout the day, and watch as it lasts without drying out or creating excessive shine.

Veil Hydrating Skin Tint, £49 | Hourglass

For something natural and buildable but with a velvety finish, this is perfect. Formulated from 94% naturally derived ingredients and skincare heroes like hyaluronic acid, it gives you all the glow without the stickiness of a typical radiant product. It also supports and strengthens the skin barrier, and has an impressive shade range.

Radiance Booster Tinted Primer With Radiant Glow, £27.20 | ICONIC London

Doing exactly what it says on the tin, this can be worn as is for a glow-y, sheer look or under heavier foundations to boost glow. Without any shimmer, it’ll never highlight any imperfections, but instead softly blur and even out your skin tone. Infused with peptides, it guarantees a moisture boost too.

Glowy Super Skin Foundation, £34 | Saie

For that ‘your skin but better’ look, this is the one. Saie’s Hydrobounce complex is a blend of hyaluronic acid, peptides and squalane – all of which work to drench the skin in moisture. Aside from the skin-hydrating properties, the product's pigment is super buildable and easy to blend.
