Physicians Formula The Healthy Foundation Review

Physicians Formula InstaReady Concealer Review
Physicians Formula InstaReady Full Coverage Concealer is a full coverage liquid concealer that is supposed to be long-wearing, have a weightless feel, “mattify, blur, and visibly retexturize skin”, and protect against UVA/UVB rays with SPF 30 physical sunscreen.

Laura Geller Filter Finish Setting Powder Review
Laura Geller Filter Finish Baked Radiant Setting Powder is a universal powder designed to “blur flaws, balance your skin tone, and illuminate your face with a warm natural glow.” It contains 0.24 oz / 7 g and retails for $32. It can be purchased from Laura Geller and Ulta.
NYX Sculpt & Highlight Duo Review
NYX Sculpt & Highlight Face Duo is a two-in-one cream product containing both a highlighter and contour shade. The formula is not as emollient as the type of cream product you’d find in a pan but it offers a finish that looks more like skin than a powder. It doesn’t smell fragranced but it does have a very mild paint-like smell that I did not find noticeable during normal use.
Physicians Formula Cushion Foundation Review
Physicians Formula Cushion Foundation is talc-free, has SPF 50 broad spectrum sunscreen in the form of 8.4% titanium dioxide, and 3.95% zinc oxide. It doesn’t smell like anything to me. It comes in 3 shades, contains 0.47 fl oz / 14 mL, which is about half of what you get in a typical bottle of foundation and retails for about $16.
Cover FX Custom Cover Drops Review
Cover FX Custom Cover Drops is a new type of base makeup that is supposed to offer the ability to customize your coverage/color/finish to your heart’s content.
Hourglass Diffused Light Ambient Lighting Powder Review
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders are meant to mimic different lighting sources and affect the way light falls on the skin, giving it a softer, more flattering look. Hourglass describes Diffused Light as “a soft, warm, pale yellow powder that conceals redness and gives skin clarity—like a soft ray of morning light.” It is formulated without parabens, talc, fragrance, nanoparticles, and gluten.
