MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Fluid Foundation

Makeup Artist Natalie Dresher raves about this formula, "This foundation was the first foundation I owned and will always be a go-to for me! If you want to look like a filter in real life, this is the foundation you need! It’s a long-wear formula that will last through tears, sweat, you name it!" 

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Serum Foundation

"This foundation is so full coverage yet looks so beautiful on the skin!" exclaimed Dresher. I was so shocked when I first tried this foundation. The coverage is incredible—perfect for those with acne or looking for a high-coverage foundation."

La Mer The Soft Fluid Long Wear Foundation SPF 20

According to celebrity makeup artist Chauntal Capri Lewis, using La Mer's cult-favorite foundation is a given if you want a naturally flawless look on your wedding day. Infused with the brand's signature Miracle Broth, it offers skin SPF coverage, antioxidants, and a virtually poreless finish. Plus, the foundation's Color Capsule Technology keeps the color static throughout your big day—regardless of heat or humidity.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

A cult staple in most pro makeup artists' arsenals, the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation is a favorite of Dresher's: "If I don’t use this foundation on a bride, call 9-1-1. This is the most perfect bridal foundation I have found. It covers imperfections while looking like skin with its perfect amount of radiance and sheen. You can matte out the parts of the face you want more matte, and it layers beautifully for buildable coverage!" Could that review be any better?

Lancôme Dual Finish Powder Foundation

According to celebrity makeup artist Phoebe Ogan (who was behind Whitney Port's beautiful wedding day makeup look), Lancôme's petal-soft cushion foundation is the ultimate choice for a natural, subtle finish. Plus, there's no risk of spilling.

Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Youth-Boosting Perfect Foundation

If your wedding day M.O. is something along the lines of "the more glow, the better," then look no further than this radiance-enhancing recommendation from Richards. The name pretty much says it all, but in case you want more details, it delivers baby-soft smoothness and a noticeable improvement in tone and texture.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Liquid Foundation

If you're after a matte foundation formula for your wedding day, this is the one. "This foundation is super matte, perfect for the oily skin girl." Recommended Dresher. But it is not my favorite for anyone with fine lines or dry skin. It is very long-wearing and will last the whole day!"

Chanel Ultra La Teint Velvet

Considering her practically effervescent clientele (think: skin-blessed beauties like Nina Dobrev, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Megan Fox), we'll try any foundation celebrity makeup artist Monika Blunder touts as her go-to. So run, don't walk to grab this offering from Chanel, which she says is perfect for a fall bride and gives a beautiful finish to the skin—not too dewy or matte.

Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick

Long-wearing, waterproof, and high-quality coverage—it's no wonder that this one-part concealer, one-part foundation is championed by makeup artist Daniela Gozlan. We also love that comes in over 30 shades for a broader versatility range.

Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 30

Looking for that bridal glow? Shiseido's Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation has got you covered (medium-to-full coverage, to be exact). It will leave your skin hydrated, radiant, and protected—thanks to SPF 30—guaranteeing an album full of picture-perfect wedding day photos.

Juvia's Place I Am Magic Velvety Matte Foundation

I Am Magic Velvety Matte Foundation by Juvia's Place boasts 42 shades, so you're bound to find one that works for your skin tone. And don't be fooled by this foundation's lightweight feel. It offers full coverage that will last all day and into the night, too.

Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Sublime Perfection Foundation

With sheer to medium coverage that's long wearing, if natural skin is what you're after for your wedding day, this formula was made for you. Infused with unique polymers that add smoothness with a luminous finish, along with amino acids for that creamy feel and finish, you'll feel like you're wearing a second skin on your wedding day and won't be worried about touch-ups.

LYS Beauty Triple Fix Serum Foundation

With an extensive shade range, this foundation has the benefits of skincare and coverage in one, for plumped, hydrated skin. With a medium coverage that looks natural, apply it until it's fully blended into the skin, and follow up with your favorite powder or setting spray.

Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Cream Foundation SPF 25

While this foundation has a higher price tag than most, it's worth every penny—especially on one of the most important days of your life. Keep in mind that a drop of this formula goes a very long way, and the coverage is extremely impressive. With a satin finish that doesn't lean too dewy or matte, it's just right for evening out your skin tone and providing lasting coverage.

Mob Beauty Blurring Ceramide Cream Foundation

Think foundation meets skincare in this innovative, cushiony cream foundation that blurs upon application. Layer this foundation until you've achieved your desired coverage. It feels weightless, while ceramides and hyaluronic acid add hydration, buffing out all imperfections.
