What brands make white foundation?

One of the most difficult parts of Halloween is creating the perfect makeup look for your costume. What’s even more difficult is finding a white foundation that works for Black skin. Many times, a foundation that looks white at first dries down to a gray.

While gray is spooky too, it’s not the white you hoped it would be. Looking online, you’ll find various white foundations that’ll work for Halloween. But, for the best results, make sure to apply a primer underneath and a setting powder on top of your white foundation. That way, it’ll stay in place during your “Monster Mash.”

HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Foundation

The Triclone Skin Tech Foundation from HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA is already a fan favorite for its ability to color match skin while being comfortable. That said, there’s a shade named 000 Fair Neutral. It’s described as a fair foundation with neutral white undertones. It’s basically a buildable white foundation. The lightweight base is also hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and dries down to a natural finish. For the best results, make sure to add a primer so you’re working with a smooth canvas.

MANIC PANIC Goth White Cream To Powder Foundation

If the name MANIC PANIC rings a bell, it’s probably because it’s the same brand known for its wide range of bold neon hair colors. The Goth White Cream To Powder Foundation from the brand serves as a bold full coverage base. The vegan non-comedogenic formula glides on like a cream and dries to a powder matte finish. This highly pigmented product is ready for you to create your Halloween makeup look on top of it.

MAC Cosmetics Full Coverage Foundation

The MAC Cosmetics Full Coverage Foundation comes in a shade named Pure Bright White. On the brand’s site, it looks like an empty circle next to a range of skin-toned foundations. But, this is still the trusted water-resistant formula in a color that’s ready for Spooky season. Along with its water-resistance this foundation is non-creasing, non-acnegenic, and long-wearing for up to 24 hours. 

The adaptable formula can be worn more sheer or opaque depending on how you apply it. Put it on with a damp sponge for a sheer finish. Or, use a dry sponge for the most coverage.

L.A. Girl Pro Coverage Liquid Foundation

L.A. Girl’s Pro Coverage Liquid Foundation is a full coverage foundation – that also comes in white. Along with its neutral white color, this foundation has some added benefits. It’s made with moisturizing glycerin and incorporates added antioxidants to keep your skin comfortable during and after your Halloween escapades. That said, this liquid foundation dries down to a luminous long-lasting finish.

Mehron Makeup CreamBlend Foundation Stick

Mehron’s Makeup CreamBlend Foundation Stick is a convenient way to bring your white makeup with you. This pigmented base is contained into an easy-to-hold stick that you can swipe onto your face and blend with your favorite tool – or your fingers. 

More importantly, it’s a creamy stick infused with moisturizing vitamin E and aloe vera. That also helps reduce the chance of creasing or cracking. Now, while the vegan foundation has a smooth consistency, it is made to last. The brand even boasts that it can withstand a day at a cosplay convention.

NYX Professional Makeup SFX Face & Body Paint Stick

NYX Professional Makeup’s SFX Face & Body Paint Stick is an easy to use product that can be used as both a concealer and a foundation. Dot it over blemishes or coat your whole face in the makeup. It has a creamy buildable formula that dries to a matte finish. Plus, it’s a crayon. That makes it easy to not just paint your whole face but to also add detail to your makeup look. It’s easy to outline mummy bandages or even draw on fangs.

Our semi-permanent formula lasts for about 4-6 weeks. But stronger formulas (like our Amplified collection) last longer because they contain 30% more pigment. 

If you want to fight the fade for longer, we have color-safe shampoos and conditioners made specifically to maintain our hair colors. Use cool water when shampooing and try to wash hair only once a week (the more you wash, the faster the color fades). We also have dry shampoo to keep your color fresh on days when you skip a wash.
