These supercharged foundations don’t just enhance; they also protect, repair and prevent.

  If your foundation isn’t working overtime for your skin, fire it! Today’s skin perfecters do a lot more than simply mask redness, dark spots and roughness; they treat those problems, too. This new breed of foundations contains high doses of active ingredients to cover all of your anti-aging concerns – including revving up radiance, diminishing dark spots and ridding skin of wrinkles. As a bonus, this generation of foundations has micronized pigment properties, which offer an invisible finish. So it may be time to recruit a new foundation.
