‘Not so basic’ basics
Foundations
and concealers find new life with formulations that contain clinical
skincare ingredients. Kimiko is the first complete makeup collection
that fuses treatment technology within each cosmetic product. Their
Multi-tasker Treatment Concealer diffuses dark circles and puffiness on
the outside, while incorporating ingredients to improve eye-area
appearance over time ($39; kimikobeauty.com). Hourglass Cosmetics has
mixed Matrixyl into its Veil Fluid Makeup foundation, to promote
collagen production and help fight signs of aging ($60;
hourglasscosmetics.com). And Per-fekt Beauty‘s Skin Perfection Gel is
enriched with vitamins and antioxidants to repair, protect and — of
course — perfect skin ($47.50; sephora.com).
Who doesn’t want to banish their bags and elongate their lashes? Eve Pearl’s Concealing Eye Treatment allows you to cover those dark under-eye circles, while nourishing the area with nutrients ($42; evepearl.com).
And all-natural skincare company Korres has come out with a new Color Collection filled with homeopathic helping ingredients. Korres Deep Color Mascara contains pro-vitamin B5 to strengthen, moisturize and condition, as well as rice oil, which intensifies color.
Mineral movement
This
most likely isn’t the first time you’ve heard about mineral makeup, but
beauty experts are still buzzing about the innovation — and for good
reason. In addition to being all-natural, Mineral Fusion’s Minerals
products are enriched with unique ingredients, like white tea, red tea
and pomegranate, that offer protection against environmental conditions
and stresses while providing coverage for your complexion
(gloskincare.com). Even drugstore staples like Neutrogena are jumping
on board, by creating their own mineral formulations ($12;
drugstore.com).
Pretty pucker
Teeth
whiteners have taken off in recent years, but Dr. Pia Lieb knows that
an extra step is something women don’t always want to think about. She
created SexySmile, a three-in-one Whitener-Plumper-Gloss so you can
grab your makeup and whiten on the go ($36; sexysmileonline.com).
