STUDIO SKIN 15 HOUR WEAR HYDRATING FOUNDATION ($42.00)
Created to hydrate and look good in any light, this foundation is your new go-to. In a city where image is everything, and photos are part of everyday life, this LA-based brand definitely knows how it’s done. Smashbox is the only brand with Flashbox Lighting Lab, where they test and perfect color consistency across 22 shades. The blendable, oil-free formula has a natural finish with medium to full coverage that looks amazing for 15 hours. Throughout the day, lighting changes, but your makeup won’t! It’s fragrance free, smooth and silky. I tried 1.1 Fair, a light shade that instantly blended in with my skin, creating buildable coverage. The non-sticky formula doesn’t look cakey and looks as good 6 hours later, as it did when I first applied. For more sheer coverage, warm between fingertips before applying and mix in 1-2 drops of your favorite face oil, creating a custom glow. Blend well over skin with brush, sponge or fingertips—starting at center of face. Build your way to customizable coverage.
Swatched:
1.1 Fair
4.0 Golden Tan

HALO HD FOUNDATION SPF 15 ($45)
HD cameras capture everything, so how do we cover our imperfections? Smashbox studio pros developed this long-wearing, sweat-resistant formula to evolve with camera capabilities and give you flawless, sheer to medium coverage that’s undetectable to the naked eye. This foundation evens out your skin with 100% Liquid Light Technology. It works with all undertones, has a buildable sheer to medium coverage that won’t look cakey. Scent-free, creamy and smooth, it lasts all day long.

4 Light Warm Beige
This waterproof, hydrating 24-hour concealer looks great in any light. It blends flawlessly without creasing, caking or settling. Use it under the eyes and anywhere else you need coverage. It’s not as thick as most concealers, so it lets you build your coverage as needed, without looking cakey.

ALWAYS ON LIQUID LIPSTICK ($24)
This liquid lipstick is so pigmented, it’s like paint — so use sparingly. Perfected on-set in their L.A. photo studio, the long-wear, water-resistant liquid lipstick features Advanced Polymer Technology that makes it stay put and look as fresh and flawless for up to 8 hours. The liquid matte formula is infused with lip-smoothing Primer Oil complex for suede-soft lip color in 20 shades. It’s smudge-proof, budge-proof and non-feathering. Use a drop for a sheer application, or paint on for a full, bold pout.
