5 awesome cruelty-free vegan foundations for dry skin

Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation

The secret to an airbrushed yet natural-looking complexion is in this lightweight and breathable foundation formula. It features the brand’s signature “matrix” of hydrating ingredients which keep your skin moisturised and smooth from morning to evening.

It’s the ideal foundation if you’re looking for sheer coverage with a dewy finish. Plus it has SPF15.

The only downside is that it’s currently only available in 12 shades with not many options for darker skin tones, I really hope they will bring out a wider palette.

RRP: 36 - Find it on Charlotte Tilbury or Sephora UK

bareMinerals Original Liquid Mineral Foundation SPF 20

This foundation was created for those who want the same buildable coverage and luminous finish as the Original Powder Foundation, but in liquid form.

Made with 88% naturally derived ingredients and available in 26 shades, this foundation is easily blendable and offers SPF 20.

It also minimises the look of redness and improves skin texture overtimes, perfect for those with skin sensitivities.

RRP: £31 - Find it on bareMinerals, Sephora UK or Lookfantastic

Urban Decay Stay Naked Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator

It’s great to see Urban Decay bringing out more vegan products, such as Hydromaniac: a hybrid formula between tinted primer and foundation.

Infused with Kombucha and Marula oil, it keeps your skin hydrated and boosts radiance for a natural-looking glow.

Available in 12 shades, it’s the ideal product if you’re looking for just a bit more coverage and hydration than with a tinted primer.

RRP: £29 - Find it on Lookfantastic or Sephora Uk (ex-Feelunique)

Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation

This vegan foundation is infused with Glycerin, which draws moisture into the top layer of your skin, keeping it hydrated and smooth.

The lightweight, creamy texture blends easily and gives a natural-looking matte finish. It is available in 26 shades.

RRP: £33 - Find it on Illamasqua, Beauty Expert or Lookfantastic

E.l.f. Flawless Satin Foundation

e.l.f is a vegan, cruelty-free and paraben free brand that has a really, really good quality/price ratio. If you’re looking for a budget vegan foundation, Flawless Finish is for you.

It contains Dimethicone, which has emollient properties and keeps moisture in your skin. It’s an oil-free formula that gives a semi-matte, durable finish.

Don’t let the super light texture fool you, this foundation offers buildable, full coverage!

It comes in 40 different shades and if you go on E.l.f. website you can use the handy “find my shade” tool to pick the right one.

RRP: £9 - Find it on Elf or Sephora UK
