Supermodel Skin in a Bottle I'm on Team BB Cream, but I keep a few good foundations on hand for days when I may have to take a selfie with a supermodel. (If you think I'm going to turn up bare-faced to interview Arizona Muse, you're mistaken.)

On those special occasions, I look for a foundation that fits a long list of personal must-haves: It should be light and last all day without creasing or smudging. It should have sunscreen and other good-for-my-skin ingredients. And it should make my skin look naturally flawless.

Well, from my lips to Estée Lauder's ears. Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup checks all these boxes. At first pump, I thought the formula was too thin, but I've come to really appreciate the serum-like consistency. It feels more like skin care than makeup. And I love the application technique using the Estée Lauder Sculpting Foundation Brush. I concentrate the product on the center of my face (nose, cheeks, chin and forehead) and it completely covers redness and hyperpigmentation.

Other bonuses? It makes my face feel hydrated (but not greasy) all day, it has SPF 25 sunscreen, and stays put all day yet washes off easily with my regular cleanser.

Now, how about that selfie, Arizona? #nofilter --Dawn Davis
