Changing up the finish of your foundation doesn’t necessarily mean forsaking your existing one altogether. Urban Decay’s Liquid Aura Illuminating Mix-In Medium ($48) is a lightweight liquid that contains iridescent pigments for a dewy glow. Meanwhile, its Velvetizer Translucent Mix-In Medium ($50) is a soft powder that not only turns foundation matte, but also extends its wear. Combine an amount equivalent to the size of a five-cent coin with your base makeup and you’ll see the results.
