Which No7 Foundation Is Right for You?
From lightweight coverage and a dewy glow to shine control and long-lasting wear, we've found the perfect foundation for you
The clue is in its name. Foundation acts as the first pillar of your makeup routine, creating a smooth, even base on your skin – and even covering common skin concerns, such as redness and hyperpigmentation.
With a plethora of foundations available on the market, the trickiest task is finding the right formula for you. In fact, finding the right foundation for you is key to a good makeup day, that means considering your skin type, coverage preference and desired finish – not to mention, the extra key benefits a foundation has to offer.
Whether you're unsure on which finish suits you or you're simply looking for foundation recommendations, we've put together a one-stop-shop for you to easily find your perfect match.
