It’s 2026 and everyone’s asking: why has my Holy Grail foundation been reformulated?! We’re explaining the reason behind the industry-wide shakeup this week. From a $16.99 drugstore dupe to a luxury splurge at $145 — we’re uncovering what’s #DamnGood now in the next-gen foundation landscape. What you’ll learn in this episode: - Why major foundation brands — including Armani, Estée Lauder and NARS — have been forced to reformulate their most iconic products
- How the removal of cyclopentasiloxane has changed the texture, wear and shade ranges of cult classics
- What the serum foundation trend means for your skin — and which new ones break through with their performance
- Which nouveau matte formulas are worth trying if you're oily-skinned — and which ones to skip
- Whether luxury foundations justify their price tags (including one at $145 US)
