(9) Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm in Holographic Pink: This is my fourth Lip Glow and, dare I say it, perhaps my favorite for a couple of reasons. First the iridescent shimmer is endlessly flattering, making lips look lush and full. Next, this particular shade feels even more moisturizing than the other colors I own

The Influencer Clean Longwear Foundation redefines the line between skincare and makeup. It provides clean, natural-looking, long-lasting coverage that doesn’t dry out as the day (or night) goes on, with a satin-matte finish that stays fresh looking even through workouts or humidity. It’s available in 20 perfectly buildable, medium-to-full coverage shades that expertly conceal redness, pores, and dark spots without ever looking cakey. With just one pump, get perfectly even skin with ultra-natural coverage. For fuller coverage and more concealing power that never cracks or creases, layer as needed—without worrying about clogging your pores. No matter what your desired coverage, you are always in control: you still look like you.
Great for all skin types, The Influencer controls oil, but never dehydrates your skin for a fresh, healthy-looking, shine-free complexion. Canadian willowherb, northern truffle extract, and bisabolo give soothing effects, so that even the most sensitive skin looks its best. Pores are instantly minimized for the ultimate smooth canvas. You’ve trusted Sunday Riley with your skincare, now trust them with your foundation!

“We know you can’t stand the look of foundation settling into lines or causing creasing or cakiness. I can’t stand how most foundations dry out my skin and cause irritation. My goal was to create a skin-friendly foundation that evens out your complexion with easily buildable, natural-looking coverage, for everyone’s perfect finish: whether you battle sensitivity, uneven tone, redness, texture, dark spots, or blemishes . My mantra is the final step in a great skincare regimen is a clean, lightweight, long-wear foundation.”—Sunday Riley

// EYES //
(10) Pat McGrath MTHRSHP Sublime Bronze Ambition Eyeshadow Palette: It must be noted that this is my first foray into Pat McGrath eyeshadow but after reading a host of glowing reviews, my curiosity was piqued. Boasting six stunning warm neutral shades in various gradients of gold and bronze, the color payoff of this palette is otherworldly. A single pass yields buttery, fallout-free color and the formula performs flawlessly for hours. Unmitigatedly recommended.
(11) Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette: Captured by the allure of a nearly perfect five star status on the Sephora site, I rationalized the purchase of yet another palette as I thought it would be a utilitarian companion for my upcoming travels. The 14 shadows come in a variance of matte, satin and metallic finishes, ranging from pale neutrals to intense deep hues, all the while maintaining smooth and velvety color payoff. I cannot wait to experiment with this one…stay tuned!

// NEW FOUNDATION //
- MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Perfector Skin Tint Foundation #6: Intrigued by its rather vague claims (is it a tinted primer? a true foundation?) I ordered this formula sight unseen but am very pleased with shade #6 as it is a befitting match for my N/NC 27 skin. The lightweight and luminous texture glides onto skin, blurring fine lines and discoloration while still not looking like actual “foundation.” It’s a pretty sensational option for those seeking a lasting “no makeup makeup look.”
- *Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Foundation #4 (reviewed–with all shades swatched–HERE): Texturally unlike any foundation currently on the market, this unusual mousse blends over skin as an nearly invisible veil of weightless coverage. It’s foundation minimalism at its best.
- Sunday Riley The Influencer Clean Long Wear Foundation: Discussed above!
- Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation: I was compelled to order this new launch based on the myriad of positive reviews and I am happy to report that the formula lives up to its accolades. Clean ingredients, natural medium coverage and a beautiful skin finish that lasts makes this well worth giving a spin.
- Tom Ford Traceless Foundation Stick in Tawny (reviewed HERE): A timeless classic that still packs a punch, 15% off is an excellent an excellent incentive to try this buildable (to full coverage), long lasting and extremely natural looking foundation staple, especially if you’ve been on the line!
