Feels as Lightweight as BB Cream I traded my foundation for BB cream in college and haven't dipped a toe back into the pool until I tried Estée Lauder's new Perfectionist foundation. Tested on the back of my hand, it didn't have that oily, cake-y feel I associate with a full-coverage foundation. Plus, I totally fell for the cool-looking sculpting brush.

I dipped the brush into the foundation and followed the sculpting directions, working from the center of my face outwards. It gave me a smooth, even tone and a finish that strikes a balance between dewy and matte.

Estée Lauder's Perfectionist serum technology is infused in the foundation, so my skin looked instantly plumper and more hydrated thanks to hyaluronic acid. In the long term, it's said to stimulate collagen production to fill fine lines.

My favorite part about Perfectionist is how lightweight it feels while hiding my skin's imperfections. I didn't even use concealer, which is a major feat in itself. I'm even considering taking a hiatus from BB cream. --Marissa DeSantis
