Nov 27: Bronzer Winner
Chanel Irréelle Soleil Silky Bronzing Powder warms up our complexion like a trip to Mustique. The finely milled powder blends smoothly and evenly, and it’s the perfect golden shade. Self-tanner winner
We like the idea of self-tanner for the face, but not the risky reality. Clarins Radiance-Plus Self Tanning Cream-Gel, though, doesn’t streak and transforms our complexion into a realistic (not orange) bronze. Concealer winner
Plenty of concealers make flaws disappear, but few can work the real magic of becoming invisible as well. Diorlift Smoothing Anti-Fatigue Concealer somehow disguises circles without exaggerating the creases. Blush winners
Becca Creme Blush creates a sheer, truly natural-looking flush without the unevenness or streaking of a gel or liquid cheek stain. Lancôme Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush in Miel Glacé is that rosy shade of pink that makes everyone look prettier, period. Power winners
Packed in its own neat puff, Prescriptives Traceless Skin Responsive Powder is at once substantial enough to blot away oil and set makeup, and light enough to disappear the moment it hits the skin. Chanel Natural Finish Pressed Powder is perfect for warmer days or dressier nights when we need a bit more shine control.
Tinted moisturizer winner
Paula Dorf Jet Set Glow Face Tint doesn’t merely make our skin look moist; it contains a fine, golden shimmer that subtly warms our complexion.
Foundation winners
Like an MTV video, Prescriptives Virtual Youth Lifting Moisture Makeup has mastered the illusion of making skin look and feel naked while somehow revealing nothing. It also contains anti-aging ingredients to keep our skin in the MTV demographic. Cover Girl AquaSmooth Makeup SPF15 is so light, moist, and greaseless, we could swear we hear our pores thanking us.
