Where this list comes from

Type is taken from the details each retailer publishes for a product. Where a retailer gives none, it is read from the product's name and description. Preferences come from the claims each retailer lists (vegan, cruelty-free, oil-free, non-comedogenic, clean), the SPF in the product name, and the published ingredient list, which decides fragrance, drying alcohol, silicones and parabens. 14 foundations have no ingredient list and no alcohol-free claim and are left out of this list.

The default order is by number of reviews across the retailers that sell each product. Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation has the most, with 75,747.
