Hourglass IMMACULATE Liquid Powder Foundation

This Liquid Powder Foundation by Hourglass Cosmetics is brilliant! Matte powdery finish, oil free, fragrance free,water-resistant, synthetic dye-free, gluten free, and vegan. I was looking for a foundation like this one, liquid to powder matte finish and non greasy. It’s super light on the skin and doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a foundation. You can even skip your powder. Marta approves:)

Eyes – Smudge Sephora’s Retractable Waterproof Liner onto upper and lower lash lines and apply shadow all over. It’s a messy, imperfect look so no need to be exact.
Lips – Go for a bold yet feminine fuchsia tone like Sephora Maniac Long-Wearing Lipstick in Mat 01. Top off with Sephora Sweet Candy Gloss in Apple Pomegranate.
