One of the reasons why we do beauty posts is to introduce you to brands you may never have heard of otherwise. We meticulously comb through all the new product and launches and try on every cream out there to give you an honest answer. When we say Erborian's BB Mask is our number one favorite product of all our years of research, we mean it. It's SPF 20 and loaded with ginseng and Africana fruit extract so it goes on really smooth and feels like velvet. It grabs your skin and holds on to it, covering everything up with one layer. Yet it's not that heavy. It stays moisturizing our skin because it's technically a hyped up tinted moisturizer, but it doesn't make it oily. Don't ask us how it works, just know that it does.
Second in line is Shiseido's Synchro Skin Glow. It's really lightweight and matches our skin perfectly, which sometimes is hard to do. I put a sheer layer on in the summer if I'm looking to get rid of some redness and under eye darkness. It dries fast but doesn't suck the moisture from your skin. A little loose powder and you're set.
If you're scared of getting a foundation online because you're worried about matching your skin, then it's time to get MatchCo. It's an app that let's you take five pictures of your skin on different parts of your body - it analyzes your skintone and then blends a perfectly matched all-in-one foundation for you. The bottles are personalized with your name and the date that it was made. Make sure you're in a well lighted room before you take the pictures.
