It's All About the Sculpting Brush I love wearing eye makeup -- layering my eyelids with all manner of primers, shadows and pencils. When it comes to wearing makeup on my entire face, not so much.

Needless to say, I wasn't sure whether I'd like Estée Lauder Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup. I was comforted by the product's thin consistency, which played well with my combination skin. My oily spots didn't look considerably oilier and my dry spots didn't look considerably drier.

The foundation's faint sunscreen smell is a reminder that you can step out protected (and apply one less layer in the morning). Plus, the natural-looking color and satin finish evened out the small areas of hyperpigmentation lingering from my teen years.

What I really love is applying the foundation with the Estée Lauder Sculpting Foundation Brush. After just three to four sweeps across my face, I was out the door, low-maintenance beauty routine intact. I'm still not a foundation faithful, but I'd revisit this perfecting pick-me-up on days when my skin's looking sub-par. --Erica Smith
