6 full coverage foundations that genuinely last all day long
We've rounded up some of our favourite full coverage foundations that genuinely stay the course, looking fresh from day to night.
When you're wearing full coverage foundations, you really want the formula to stay put from sun up to sun down. Especially when it's for work, or for a special occasion like a wedding. Even if you're wearing it for just a few hours on a night out, the whole idea behind a full coverage base is that you don't have to worry about it slipping and sliding, splitting or going shiny.
At least, that's the theory. In practice, not all full coverage foundations are created equal. Some start out well, others fall at the first hurdle. The good news is, we've done the legwork and tried a lot over the years. And now, we've rounded up some favourites that haven't let us down.
