If you’ve always been on the lookout for bases that will leave your skin glowing and dewy, then you already know that the good ones are a little hard to come by. Sure, matte finish foundations are great for long days and special events, but on the daily, it’s just so much nicer to keep the skin looking fresh and radiant.
Here, we rounded up 10 luxurious foundations with dewy finishes that are worth investing in:
1. It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream SPF 50
A thin layer of this color-correcting base can instantly boost your skin's radiance—it will have people asking what you did to your skin to get that glow! It comes in seven different shades, and each shade should adapt to different skin tones. Apply it using a dense synthetic-haired brush for an even and smooth application.

This foundation is on its way to cult-favorite status with its huge following in the beauty community worldwide.

3. Tom Ford Traceless Foundation SPF 15
If we're talking about luxury foundations, then this is as luxurious as it could get. This foundation's beautiful formula instantly grants your skin that "lit-from-within" look that we always hear about. Tom Ford encourages using their foundation brush to apply this foundation, but using a damp sponge can yield to fresh-looking skin as well.

7. Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup SPF30
Fans of the original Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation will love this lighter version—perfect for daily wear, or whenever you just want to even out your skin tone sans a full coverage base. It's a little easier to blend than the original foundation formula because it's more lightweight and more watery. Bonus: It also has SPF30 for added sun protection!
