The Best Compact Foundations For a Flawless Complexion

I live in LA, which means I’m in my car (and in traffic) for like, 50% of my waking hours. It’s not ideal, but with the help of a good podcast and a few distractions, I pass the time without losing every trace of sanity. While it may be controversial and slightly dangerous, I usually spend my morning commute completing my makeup look. I really just can’t bare the thought of losing an extra half hour of sleep sitting in front my vanity when I’m already sitting in gridlock traffic on the 405 freeway. I mean, I hate wasting time. While I often fantasize about the idea of being able to commute via subway or train so that you know, I could actually get sh*t done, it’s not practical where I live, so I make the most of the time I have in the car. This is precisely why finding the best compact foundation for a flawless, on-the-go complexion is key. Liquid formulas and fussy creams have wrecked havoc on my car in the past, so now I stick to something a bit more portable and on-the-go-friendly. I also love a bargain, and truly believe you don’t have to drop major cash to find a solid foundation.

Although there are certainly a few pricey, high-end formulas I simply can’t be without (hello, Estee Lauder Double Wear), I’m not toting these expensive products with me when I’m trying to get my face on in the face of traffic. Compact foundations tend to be pretty goof-proof, thanks to their typical lighter coverage and ultra-blendable capabilities, making them the ideal product for this exact purpose.Of course, even if you are taking public transit and doing your makeup on the way, the same rule applies. No one wants to risk shattering a luxe glass bottle or spilling a pricey product all over the passenger in front of you when the train makes an abrupt stop. So, whether you’re a procrastinator like myself and enjoy getting ready en route to the office or simply prefer the ease of use of a compact for mid-day touch-ups, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite compact foundations that won’t shatter en route and won’t shatter your savings account.
