L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation 30ml
When you really need your base to stay in place, try this pick. Unique polymers help keep it in place and keep the formula ultra-smooth. It also uses a unique diamond core powder technology, which essentially translates to a soft-focus finish that bl...
Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Foundation
To be fair, this isn’t enough SPF to use in place of sunscreen, but used on top of ‘screen it’s great as an extra layer of protection. Not to mention that it’s super breathable and non-cakey, and lasts for a full 24 hours, too.

There are so many things I adore about stick foundations, it’s hard to keep track. For starters, there’s the ease of application, no tools or mirrors required—all you have to do is swipe it on with your fingertips and go.
Vanish™ Seamless Finish Foundation Stick
Concealer
The best one. The matte formula imparts smooth finish that isn't shiny
Shape Tape™ Full-Coverage 16-Hour Concealer | Tarte™
The price is affordable, and the applicator is designed specifically for under-eye circles
Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer 6.8ml
I look tired in the mornings, and this concealer literally makes me look like I had a full eight hours of sleep, even if I was up all night binging a show. It brightens my under-eyes like no other concealer.
Stay Woke Concealer - UOMA Beauty
It blended really nicely with the applicator alone and even better with my personal concealer brush.

loved that it was buildable and could be used for both under-eyes and for spot coverage.

Blush
Orgasm made headlines when it launched thanks to its scandalous name, and continues to be a best seller over 20 years later because of its ability to flatter pretty much everyone (trust us). The peachy shade is vibrant yet natural, and looks more lik...
Iconic Blush Color: Orgasm Collection - NARS Cosmetics
While $45 might sound steep for a blush, these pretty powders deliver on quality—as expected from Chanel. There's no dusty texture here, only a silky-smooth formula that glides right on the skin.
JOUES CONTRASTE Powder blush - Rose bronze - Chanel
Many clean blushes skimp on the pigment, but this one from Tata Harper is the exception. It has a unique formulation: They're almost more waxy than creamy, so they don't add any extra texture—just a sheer wash of color.
Tata Harper Skincare Vitamin-Infused Cream Blush in Lovely
this shade-adjusting blush is made to flatter every skin tone—and while it certainly does just that, the cooler undertones and buildable pigment is particularly gorgeous on fairer skin tones.
Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush - Makeup
These silky blushes work beautifully on any skin tone, but the shimmering peach Desert Orchid looks particularly stunning on olive skin. The warmer undertones add a realistic pop and, thanks to subtle shimmer, can help wake up sallow skin in winter.
