I use ALLL It Cosmetics. I feel like the older I get, the drier my skin gets. So CeraVe is my moisturizer, THEN I use It’s You Only Better CC Cream. It’s magical. Even better with their anti-redness stuff (can’t recall the name).

Clinique’s Moisture Surge CC cream. It’s one of the few tinted moisturizers or foundations that doesn’t further dry out my already crazy dry Retin-A skin. I’m also pale as hell so the tiniest bit of warmth on my skin makes me look distinctly witch-y, and this has amazing cool-toned shades.

Mary Kay CC Cream. Perfect light texture, a little goes a long way and several options for color.

I would do the pictures++if I knew how so just words for now. I think it depends on WHAT you need the product to do. Because of AutoImm health issues— MUST have serious sunprotection and redness coverage. SO for me its Clinque Moisture Surge SPF 30 color corrector blahblah. Heavy but works, stays in place all day in Read more

I’ve been using Supergoop (I really don’t like the name)- but it’s been solid for a year now (for me). My skin is pretty dry and I have some occasional facial spots of psorasis. I always use bronzer as well, and it spreads well on top of it. Read more

I have dry-ish skin. I used to be all about the Nars tinted moisturizer, but then I discovered this Givenchy stuff, and it makes the Nars stuff seem very chalky. It’s pretty fucking amazing, actually

I’m very picky about my tinted moisturizer, having been in the beauty industry and received and tried every one under the sun for free. My favorite is Too Faced Beaury Balm. It has physical sunscreen (a must for me and anyone else whose skin is sensitive to chemical additives and wants more photostable protection out Read more

Guerlain Baby Glow. It smells AMAZING, lasts forever, and makes even my terrible (uneven, blemished, dull) skin look pretty good in a flash.

Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer.

There is a tinted option, but since I hate having any tint on my face whatsoever, I prefer the non-tinted one. It’s light and it dries fast, it doesn’t leave me feeling like there’s stuff on my face, and it has SPF 47, which protects my pale northern skin year-round.

It’s not a BB cream exactly, but it’s amazing. It’s Cicapair from Dr. Jart and it has an SPF 30. It looks green in the jar, but it’s color correcting so if you have any redness in your skin, it neutralizes it. It evens out my complexion beautifully. It has something in it called Tiger Grass, apparently tigers rub on

Nars Pure Radiant! Never streaky, and the perfect balance of moisture without being too oily. And I say that as a person with olive skin which is typically not very foundation-friendly. Read more

Bobbi Brown forever and always! I’ve been desperately missing it since I got pregnant (it uses oxybenzone for the sunscreen aspect which is a no-go) and it will be up there with margaritas and hot dogs for my big postpartum celebrations, between diaper changes.

Burts Bees tinted lip balms are my jam (red dahlia is my color). I am pale skinned and tend to find my lips are also pale and disappear into my face. This balm has enough color where others will realize I do in fact have lips, but it feels and glides on just like lip balm. Lipstick is dead to me. This is all I need. Read more
