This skin tint is the most full-coverage skin tint I’ve tried and it leaves a radiant finish! Depending on your goals, a little of this creates a more sheer finish while using the 1/4 tsp sunscreen recommendation leaves a very full coverage finish. E...
Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50
This foundation is EXCELLENT for staying put and providing no-shine and full coverage for a good price. Mix it with a little bit of milky toner if you want a sheer-er finish.
Infallible 32 Hour Lightweight Fresh Wear Foundation
This foundation rivaled the Armani in terms of coverage and quality for less money. I no longer spend too dollar on foundation because of this. So good!
Foundation Makeup & CC Cream
This is my favorite concealer of all time for mature skin!! I’ve purchased this product 3x and will continue to do so. It has a serum like quality, very moisturizing and not cakey under the eyes at all. It is a full coverage concealer.
Concealers & Correctors: Perfect & Brighten
Hear me out: I’ve tried MANY tinted sunscreens in order to prevent melasma and most of them feel thick and greasy. This one, dries down to a semi-matte finish that wears nicely alone or under makeup up. I definitely recommend this!
