We all know that if you truly want a flawless beauty look, you need to make sure that your base is perfect. And one way to get the perfect base is to invest in the right foundation. While you may have your own preference when it comes to choosing the right foundation, what you need to keep in mind is that choosing the right one can work wonders for your look. Alternatively, if you pick the wrong shade or texture it can break your look. Cream foundations can offer your skin the coverage that other foundations can't. So, here is a list of cream foundations that you should invest in if you want a flawless beauty look.

This stick foundation is extremely buildable and gives a truly matte finish once fully applied, but it’s possible to sheer out with water or moisturizer if needed, and most importantly it doesn’t feel super heavy or dry on your skin once applied. If you’re looking for a contouring option, these sticks are easy to draw with and layer on, and it comes in 30 different shades.

Laura Mercier's Silk Crème foundation has been around for ages now, though this newer oil-free version is ideal for those who want to avoid the extra glow that the moisturizing edition offers. Recommended by makeup artist Joanna Schlip, she adores it for its ability to build up without looking cakey, not to mention how easy to blend it is. To get a sheerer finish, try using a damp beauty sponge, which helps to disperse the pigment.

Another favorite of Schlip's is Dermablend's Cover Creme Full Coverage Foundation, which she loves for its maximum coverage and ability to last all day without budging. Some have been known to use this base to conceal scars, tattoos, and even vitiligo spots. The best part? Despite its high coverage, it never comes off cakey or mask-like.

If you're someone who prefers a light or medium-coverage base, Nars's Radiant Cream Compact Foundation is a great go-to. It's got nice, moderate coverage and is really good for dry skin. Its lightweight texture and skin-like finish also make it an excellent option for those who aren't typically fans of foundation, as it blends into the skin so easily and looks and feels like nothing. (Bonus points because it's compact and perfect to travel with.)

This one features a long-lasting, lightweight formula with mattifying agents to give you a natural-looking matte finish. It hides pigmentation and skin imperfections while also moisturising your skin. Since it has an ultra-creamy formula it also works great for dry skin by keeping it hydrated.

We're no strangers to the amazing products that Lakme has to offer and this foundation of theirs is no different. It features a feather-light texture that will feel like there's hardly any product on your skin and it claims to last as long as 16 hours. It also contains SPF 8 so it will keep your skin protected against the sun's rays.

Hydrating and comfortable, this foundation will provide your skin with full coverage and what's best, the formula happens to be oil-free so it won't look cakey on your face. Featuring glycerin and shea butter it's also sure to keep your skin moisturised so you can even give that moisturiser a miss if you opt for this one.

If you're looking for something that will help you cover up scars and blemishes then this foundation should be perfect for you. It provides full coverage so you can say goodbye to acne scars, hyper pigmentation and redness. Its oil-free matte formula also ensures that your skin doesn't feel or look oily.

Featuring a 77-Mineral Complex, shea butter and vitamin E, this foundation works well for all skin types including super sensitive skin. Apart from giving your skin great coverage it also works well to hide fine lines and spots. It will leave you with a velvety satin finish that will keep you looking refreshed all day long.
