Months in quarantine didn't just make us restless — the time indoors also left us with more washed-out complexions, too. This vegan face powder serves as a perfect stand-in for time in the sun: it feins a believable tan — not too golden yellow, not too opalescent — and taps mineral pigments to illuminate just a touch without blinding shimmer.
Part highlighter, part hydrater, this dewy balm taps jojoba oil to moisturize and mica to deliver rose gold, opalescent, lavender, clear and golden glows. The formula is ultra light and doesn't travel or run on the face like some wet-look highlighters can. Instead, it melts into our complexion, giving a your-skin-but-better sheen that's made us leave our old liquid highlighter for dead.
After taking one look at Hailey Bieber's makeup looks as of late, it's hard not to be spellbound by a clean complexion paired with a wisp of pastel eyeliner — and these semi-matte and semi-sheer finish liquid liners are just the thing to nail the look. They deliver a whisper of buildable color — and pack staying powder — for a thoroughly modern take on colorful makeup.
We're going to let you in on a little secret: as much as the world of K-beauty would have us think otherwise, so-called "glassy" skin is more often achieved with more than skin care alone. Enter this facial balm, which delivers the illumination of a highlighter, with the kind of dewy-wet finish that used to be reserved for editorial shoots and ethereal Met Gala appearances.
We didn't think we could have loved Hourglass's Ambient Lighting Powders any more — the diffused setting powders have a way of adding the most subtle glow that never looks quite like makeup. But we were proven wrong (way wrong) with the latest addition to the brand's franchise, which combines a swirl of two powder shades and a highlighter shade. Somehow it makes us look as if we're draped in the most flattering light of all — the endless warm glow of an infinity installation.
