Zendaya swears by this designer foundation for red carpet events but we found a €9 dupe

The perfect dupe for Zendaya's go-to designer foundation

Zendaya's skin always looks pristine on the red carpet, and a lot of that is down to the Prada foundation she swears by for these red carpet events.

Zendaya often wears the Prada Reveal Skin Optimising Refillable Foundation for premieres. The foundation promises to optimise your natural beauty by focusing on tone, luminosity, and texture.

The Prada Reveal Skin Optimising Refillable Foundation is designed to reveal the ultimate blank canvas finish, working to conceal the look of imperfections while delivering a light-reflective radiance that mimics a soft, candlelit glow.

Infused with vitamin E and 100% active niacinamide, the lightweight formula enhances the skin’s hydration and brightness. The Lactobacillus Extract Complex visibly refines uneven texture, while the IRL Micro-Filter™ Technology offers a diffused, soft-focus effect. With medium-buildable coverage, the breathable and transfer-resistant foundation ensures up to 24 hours of seamless wear.

You can buy it here if you feel like splashing out.

Unfortunately, the Prada Reveal Skin Optimising Refillable Foundation is slightly too expensive for us. At €45.08, the foundation exceeds our budget, but we've found a dupe for under €10.

The e.l.f. Soft Glam Foundation (buy here) is a cheaper alternative, but a foundation that promises to give your skin a smooth, satin finish.

This foundation is infused with 1% Hydrating Hibiscus Complex, plus fruit extracts. This breathable liquid foundation won’t clog pores and feels as good as it looks—no caking or heaviness here, just smooth, satiny skin.

Buy it here.

All e.l.f. products are made from skin-loving ingredients you want, minus the toxins you don’t—all at good-for-you prices. All e.l.f. products are 100% cruelty-free and vegan.
