As the warm weather returns, get the trendy &ldquo;no make-up&rdquo; effect with these rich and airy foundations.

The arrival of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/spring-summer-2021-beauty-trends-fashion-week-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spring</a> is often accompanied by a desire for lightness. Many are tossing their heavy, full-coverage <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-foundations-dry-skin-winter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">foundations</a> because their use for coverage up <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/starface-acne-skincare-julie-schott-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acne</a> or other spots has been usurped by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-treat-prevent-maskne-acne-from-wearing-masks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">face masks</a>. As the sun comes out from behind the gray cloud, take the opportunity to let the light rays gild your skin by favoring a light-textured foundation that will delicately unify your complexion. This season, it's all about the natural second-skin effect, so L'OFFICIEL lists six foundations that are sure to get the job done.

Most Natural

Combining performance and naturalness, this is the challenge taken up by Guerlain's new <a href="https://www.guerlain.com/at/en-at/p/lessentiel-high-perfection-foundation-24h-wear---spf-15-P043087.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">L'Essentiel Haute Perfection</a> foundation. A very gentle formula composed of 96 percent <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/natural-ingredients-for-skincare-haircare-body-wellness-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener">natural ingredients</a>, the product smoothes the skin's texture and mattifies your complexion while letting the skin breathe, preserving its natural hydration and protecting it from daily external aggressions (UVA, UVB). Expect a comfortable, second-skin texture that offers immediate high coverage, without being cakey. Instantly, pores and imperfections are blurred, skin texture is refined while shine is neutralized. Result? The skin is naturally sublimated and remains luminous. A real boost for sunny days.

Brightest

To attract all eyes and capture the light this season, Shiseido has imagined two new products for the Synchro Skin range that act in synergy: the <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/shiseido-synchro-skin-soft-blurring-primer-P468402?skuId=2416642&amp;icid2=products%20grid:p468402:product" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soft Blurring Primer</a> and the <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/shiseido-synchro-skin-radiant-lifting-foundation-spf-30-P468401?skuId=2416543&amp;icid2=products%20grid:p468401:product" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lifting Radiant Foundation</a>. The first is a colorless <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-makeup-primers-for-different-skin-types-oily-dry-combination" target="_blank" rel="noopener">primer</a> with an aqueous and airy formula that helps prep skin for makeup by reducing the appearance of pores, removing excess shine, and blurring imperfections. Its infinitely sensory cream-to-powder formula prolongs the hold of the foundation by absorbing sebum and perspiration throughout the day and revealing a natural <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/the-best-dewy-foundations-for-a-natural-glow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">glow</a>.
Inspired by ukkiri, a Japanese term for hydrated and healthy skin, the follow-up foundation lifts, refines, and smoothes the skin's texture without drying it out. Fine lines and wrinkles are then filled in while the irregularities are completely erased. Also, it's equipped with innovative Light-Adjusting technology which allows light to be reflected off the skin. Result? A complexion that looks brighter than ever.

Most Anti-Aging

The <a href="https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/sisley-paris-sisle%C3%BFa-le-teint-anti-aging-foundation-0400092181886.html?dwvar_0400092181886_color=0R%20VANILLA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sisle&yuml;a Le Teint Anti-Aging Foundation</a> brings together the best of Sisley-Paris makeup and skincare in one single product. Its formula is made up of many anti-aging active ingredients from the latest research, including Mimosa extract from Constantinople, the flagship active ingredient in Sisle&yuml;a L'Int&eacute;gral Anti-Aging treatment for cellular energy. You'll fall in love with its fluid formula which offers a bare skin effect.
Upon application, the skin is smoothed and the result remains perfect for up to eight hours. Over time, your skin will appear more luminous and homogeneous, with signs of fatigue reduced while the face regains a smooth appearance and firmness of younger skin. Expect it to feel hydrated, plumped, and denser. However, the most notable point is that the product's oil-free, non-comedogenic formula makes it suitable for all skin types.

Most Resistant

Heat, water, perspiration, intense days&mdash;nothing scares the <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/all-hours-full-coverage-matte-foundation-P421456" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All Hours Foundation</a>, the first high-hold covering foundation signed by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/ysl-beauty-smart-lipstick-custom-makeup-at-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YSL Beauty</a>. The product provides extreme coverage without a cakey effect, and instead leaves a matte finish that offers a clear complexion for 24 hours. The secret? The non-greasy formula prevents the formation of shine and tightens <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/linoleic-acid-oil-cleanser-skincare-oily-skin-clogged-pores" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pores</a> with a high concentration of pigments allowing perfect and uniform coverage for a natural result. An essential everyday ally, this all-weather foundation also keeps the skin fresh and smooth thanks to its sun protection index and its antioxidant care complex.

As delicate as a breath that merges with the skin, the <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/makeup/p/184724/les-beiges-healthy-glow-foundation-hydration-and-longwear/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwmcWDBhCOARIsALgJ2Qfhb9k0pdGbW_sFA6IZ-D44xBpOE4ML-GMGaPC7kVYadtwQFNEfOjUaAn7CEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel's Healthy Glow Foundation Hydration and Longwear</a> veils the skin in softness with a natural and radiant finish. Its fine and melting texture, enriched with ultra-fine pigments, light-reflecting agents, moisturizing agents, and protective actives, unifies the skin to reveal a subtle glow. The water-based formula <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-winter-skincare-dry-skin-moisturizer-expert-tips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moisturizes</a> and preserves the skin over time. Thus, the foundation is the key to a fresh, rested, luminous, and subtly satin complexion, especially after a warm day spent in the great outdoors.
