Where this list comes from

Type and finish are taken from the details each retailer publishes for a product. Where a retailer gives none, they are 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. 7 foundations have no finish listed and are left out of this list. 182 foundations have no cruelty-free claim and are left out of this list.

The default order is by number of reviews across the retailers that sell each product. Milani Conceal + Perfect 2-in-1 Foundation has the most, with 41,209.
