Max Factor Miracle Touch Foundation, $36.95.

We don’t know how this works, we really don’t, but we swear it does. Yes – this solid foundation transforms into a lightweight, supple liquid foundation on contact with skin. This means that you get the best of both worlds in that it delivers a beautiful even, smooth and flawless finish with full coverage – just like a solid foundation should, but it looks and feels light and natural – like a liquid foundation does. It comes in six shades: Creamy Ivory, Blushing Beige, Warm Almond, Natural, Golden and Bronze.
