If you’re a regular foundation user you may be tentative about making the switch to a more natural or organic choice. It takes time to find a good foundation that suits your skin and natural alternatives can be pricey which makes the necessary experimentation offputting. We’ve looked at the top brands available right now and put together our top 5, to help you decide where to begin.

5. Dr Hauschka’s Translucent Make-up. Dr Hauschka’s make-up products come well recommended. All natural, wholesome ingredients and a good finish. I liked that this foundation blended into my skin so easily, I usually have trouble finding a colour to match my skin tone but this seemed to disappear into my skin quite easily and left a subtly balanced complexion behind. Although it is very quick drying, so you need to work quickly to avoid streaks, it is a nice light foundation for light, even coverage. Great for all skin types. Best applied with a damp make-up sponge.

4. Green People pressed mineral powder. Offering medium coverage, this powder leaves a healthy radiant complexion with minimal application time. I found this product very easy to use and great on my blemish prone skin. It leaves a subtle glow on the skin, making it look matt yet healthy. Great for oily skin. Best applied with a Kabuki brush.

3. NVEY ECO Moisture rich fluid foundation. A medium – full, buildable foundation. It dries quickly, so needs to be applied quickly, but feels light once dry. Leaves skin looking healthy and glowing with good coverage for blemishes and signs of aging. Great for dry skin. Best applied with a damp make-up sponge.

2. Neals Yard Mineral Foundation. I love this powder and use it most days. It’s great for daily use and not as drying as other mineral powders, leaving a lovely healthy slow on the skin with a light-medium coverage. I use this with their mineral blush and they last all day. Great for combination skin. Best applied with a kabuki brush.

1. bareMinerals READY Foundation. This is a really special product. Perfect for special occasions or daily wear for those needing full coverage. This product applies quickly, easily and builds for full and even coverage. I love how well it hides any blemishes and imperfections. Definitely one for that film star look. Great for all skin types. Best applied with bareMinerals precision face brush.
