Here is a fact: Finding the perfect foundation shade for your skin tone is hard! Many of us have spent hours in Sephora or Ulta testing all types of foundation on your hand looking for the perfect match.
But what is even worse than the long process of finding a foundation is not being able to find a matching shade in a foundation that you really want to try because the shade range for the product is super small. Humans come in all different sizes, shapes, and colors. They are all beautiful and it is about time that brands start recognizing this.
Lately, brands have been taking steps to be more inclusive by broadening their shade ranges when making makeup products. While nothing can ever be 100% perfect hopefully one of these brands has a shade for you.

NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation has 33 different shades. It is said to last 16 hours and has a natural, radiant finish.

Rihanna's makeup line, Fenty Beauty, launched last year and it instantly became a best seller. Her PRO FILT'R foundation is described as a long-wearing soft matte.
