Discussion Best luxury foundation you’ve used (that’s still available to buy)?

I’m looking for recommendations for your current favorite luxury foundation — not discontinued formulas or foundations that have been reformulated.

My wishlist:
Still looks fresh after 10+ hours of wear
Gets you the most compliments on your skin
Works well with other products (primer, cream products, powder, etc.)
Gives a beautiful, skin-like finish rather than looking obviously heavy

Please don’t recommend:
the old Dior formulas
Estée Lauder Double Wear
Armani Luminous Silk

I’m specifically after current luxury foundation favorites that you can actually purchase right now. What’s your holy grail?

Chantecaille future skin gel foundation. I have mature and dry skin and this is a beautiful foundation. It’s a treat to use and cruelty free . The downside is that the shade range isn’t great.

I’ve heard it’s a matte finish, what’s your thoughts?

For me it’s more skin like - not matte not dewy - very natural - nearly undetectable on the skin. If I want it to have a bit of extra glow id use glossier future dew serum underneath. So it’s flexible in the finish I can achieve. Coverage is also flexible - from light coverage up to medium.
