COMPLEXION CONCEALER & CORRECTOR TINTED MOISTURISERS SETTING SPRAY & POWDER PRIMER

Foundation is designed to even the look of the complexion and create a more consistent base, with coverage and finish ranging from sheer and skin-like to more buildable and perfected. The right formula should suit both your skin and how you want your makeup to look.

At Vault, we curate foundations across a range of textures and finishes, from lightweight everyday bases to formulas that offer more coverage where you want it. Some are designed for a natural, barely-there result, while others can be layered to create a more polished finish without feeling overly heavy.

Choosing the right foundation comes down to coverage, texture and finish. If you prefer something subtle, look for a sheer or buildable formula. If you want more evening-out power, a medium or fuller-coverage option may suit you better. Finish also matters, from fresh and radiant to more natural or softly matte.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does foundation do?

Foundation helps even the appearance of the complexion and create a more uniform base. Depending on the formula, it can offer sheer, medium or fuller coverage.

How do I choose the right foundation?

Think about your preferred coverage, finish and skin type. Lightweight or radiant formulas may suit a more natural look, while medium or fuller coverage can offer a more perfected result.

What is the difference between foundation and skin tint?

Foundation generally offers more coverage, while skin tints tend to have a lighter, more sheer finish. Both can vary significantly by formula, so check the individual product description for coverage and finish.

Should foundation match my skin exactly?

Ideally, foundation should blend seamlessly into your skin tone, especially around the jawline and neck. Undertone is just as important as depth when finding the right match.

Can I build up foundation coverage?

Many foundations are designed to be buildable. Start with a light layer, then add more only where you want extra coverage to keep the finish looking natural.
