Pep-Start Hydroblur Moisturizer, $29.50; Clinique
Get super hydration with a mattified look with Clinique’s latest pep-start line. This hydroblur moisturizer keeps your face fresh all day long and gives it a velvety look, a perfect base for concealer or foundation. Or, wear it on its own.
Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser, $6.99; Maybelline
Take care of those pesky pores that seem to never go away. This gel can be used as a spot treatment for areas like the nose, cheeks or chin, where you want to make big pores disappear, and it’s lightweight so you won’t even notice you’re wearing it.
Camouflage Cream Wake Up Effect, $5.99; Catrice Cosmetics
No matter how much sleep you got, this creamy, matte cream will make you look like you’ve gotten your recommended zzzs. Blendable and hydrating, it won’t look cakey or dry out your delicate under eye area.
m-61 Hydraboost Serum 2.0, $82; Bluemercury
Packed with vitamin B5, this serum should be layered on prior to your moisturizer as it will hydrate and firm your skin and will reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Ormedic Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex, $19; Image Skincare
Organic ingredients are used in this lip treatment that glides on smooth and hydrates your delicate lips. But there is more to this than hydration; it also visibly enhances the appearance of volume and hides fine lines.
