Setting The Foundation
It’s usually the first makeup item you reach for every morning. Here’s why these skin-perfecting staples are helping us achieve a flawless finish
Containing the long-wearing Fusion Ink Foundation Encre de Peau, the new YSL Beaute Le Cushion Encre de Peau, $88, gives you great coverage.
It looks like an ordinary powder compact, but the L’Oréal Paris True Match Genius 4-in-1 Compact Foundation, $32.90, also smoothens like a primer and conceals any imperfections.
For a healthy glow, the Biotherm Evermoist C.C. Cushion, $17 for the case and $48 for two refills, promises up to four hours of non-stop hydration.
Look perfect thanks to The Body Shop Fresh Nude Foundation, $32.90, and Lightening and Darkening Drops, $29.90, that blend with your foundation.
