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.
