Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, $8, ulta.com
This affordable option already impressively spanned the color spectrum with its original 24 shades, but the recent addition of 16 new hues—from Fair Porcelain to Espresso—welcomes women of even more skin tones to find their ideal base. It's proof that you don't need to spend a lot to meet your foundation needs.
Fenty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, $34, fentybeauty.com
It's impossible to talk inclusive without mentioning Rihanna. Her launch of Fenty Beauty and its range of 40 foundation shades not only set the bar for the beauty industry—it sold, putting to rest the idea that there isn't enough demand for expansive foundation ranges. The hues are the result of what Rihanna called "obsessive research," which clearly carried over into the matte, lightweight, filter-like formula.
MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, $29, maccosmetics.com
MAC has long been a go-to for women who couldn't find their colors anywhere else. With more than 50 shades, this powder foundation offers one of the most nuanced ranges out there, with widely fleshed-out variations of cool, neutral, neutral-cool, and neutral-warm colors, some of which, like shoes, come in half-shades, such as NC43.5.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation, $43, makeupforever.com
Even if you think you know your shade of this practically undetectable foundation, Make Up For Ever encourages fans to get rematched now that the range has expanded to make an even deeper dive into the subtle differences in undertones. Like Fenty and Maybelline, it's got 40 shades total.
