AMANDA,
I have a subtle foundation phobia. To be fair, it’s not my fault. I’ve just never found something that’s effective on my oily T-zone. I like a soft, natural looking finish, but need something with staying power. When I first heard about Sunday Riley The Influencer Clean Long Wear Foundation, I had a feeling its no-slip formula would be a game -changer. It provides the clean, oil-control coverage I’ve been seeking, without leaving my skin feeling too smothered or dehydrated. The blendable formula means I can literally watch my oily zones and pores disappear before my very eyes (even in the NYC sticky heat of Summer). And as a beauty editor, the impressive shade range left me eager to recommend this product to all my fellow foundation-scared friends.

KATE,
My biggest skin concerns are oily skin and periodic breakouts. I've recently been experiencing more cystic and stress breakouts that are hard to cover up, so I’m relying more and more on makeup to hide blemishes. I got turned on to the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakout Full-Coverage Treatment Concealer because I was looking for something to hide my breakouts without making them worse. Not to mention the fact that it provides full coverage that lasts for hours while gently treating imperfections. It truly lasts longer than most concealers I use, and I’ve noticed a difference in the size of some stress pimples because of the gentle mix of Tea Tree, Sulfur, and AHA/BHA that treats blemishes and exfoliates them away.
NEVER,
BREAKOUTS

I have very dry, sensitive skin and need constant moisture, but I hate the feeling of heavy creams on my face. As I get older, I am always on the lookout for a great hydrating product that will make my skin look more plumped up and radiant. I'm a huge fan of Fresh because of the soothing calm it always provides my skin. And let's be honest — they smell sooo good!
The Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream won me over immediately with its delicious rose scent and lightweight gel-cream texture that felt ultra luxe going on but seeped right in. I usually reserve my face creams for evening, but this product is infused with rose water to soothe and provide all day, constant hydration. Who wouldn't want skin that's literally rose-petal-soft.

ARPITA,
I am always on the hunt for something that keeps my skin hydrated while providing light coverage for breakouts and acne scars. I had seen reviews for First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration before, so when I heard about First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 I thought that it could be the answer to my skin concerns. First, I was very impressed with the shade range. I have a darker complexion, so it’s not easy to find a tinted moisturizer that works for my skin tone. Then, once I started using this product, I was amazed at how it felt on my skin! It was super easy to apply and the formula is weightless so it didn't feel sticky or heavy on my face — it was even able to cover my dry and flaky patches while soothing my skin. Bonus: it blended super well, which is always a concern for me.

TYLER,
I've been dealing with combination skin for years, my oily T-zone is my biggest enemy! I'm always on the lookout for products that can keep my skin happy, my pores under control, and oil at bay. I have a pretty regimented beauty routine, so I love whipping out the GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD Activated Charcoal Treatment mask when I’m looking to give my skin a special treat.
The combo of charcoal and the blend of acids is the answer to my skincare prayers! I can literally see it drawing the dirt, oil, and congestion right out of my pores. But besides 20 minutes of skincare bliss, this product helps keep oil at bay, pores clear, and my skin smooth for 24 hours — quite the accomplishment!
