Where this list comes from

Type and skin type 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. 25 foundations have no skin type listed and are left out of this list. 218 foundations have no SPF value 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.
