Let’s dive straight into the world of beauty with a long-overdue foundation review. I’ve been a fan of natural, dewy foundations, and Estée Lauder’s Futurist Hydra Rescue was an instant favorite for me. It offers a bouncy texture and leaves a radiant, healthy finish. If your skin tends to be dry, you’ll really love this foundation. It provides a hydrating feel and a beautiful glow without settling into fine lines or wrinkles. Even those with slightly oily skin can enjoy its subtle dewiness. This product is perfect if you shy away from full or matte coverage but still want a foundation that evens out your skin tone and covers minor blemishes and redness. It combines the plump feel of a tinted moisturizer with the coverage of a traditional foundation, making it ideal for summer use—or really anytime you want to wear makeup. You can build the coverage for a fuller effect or mix it with a bit of moisturizer for a sheer look.
When you apply it, you’ll notice it doesn’t cover everything but rather gives your skin an overall even tone, reduces dark circles, and leaves a fresh sheen. Though it won’t tackle stubborn issues like facial hair, it does provide excellent base coverage. I applied a quick layer of the Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Makeup. It is very moisturizing, which is fantastic if you have dry skin. A heavier application could mean dealing with extra moisture, which might not be for everyone. For those looking to cover blemishes completely while retaining a glow, something like Dior’s Forever Skin Glow could be a better fit.
When applied with medium coverage, the Futurist foundation leaves no residue, and it feels incredibly comfortable on the skin—practically the ideal foundation experience. It holds up well for most of the day, with minimal touch-ups needed on oilier spots like the nose and chin. Although Dior’s Forever offers longer-lasting coverage, it doesn’t deliver the same fresh and informal look as the Estée Lauder foundation.
Estée Lauder’s Futurist Hydra Rescue is a fantastic addition to their collection. Available in twenty shades, the product comes in a convenient tube with a pump dispenser, making it travel-friendly and easy to use. It also includes broad-spectrum sunscreen protection with SPF45. You can find this foundation online for £36, in shades ranging from light to dark. For a similar dewy glow but with less coverage, Clinique’s Even Better Glow is another great option worth exploring.
