Get even more out of your makeup

My summer complexion conundrum was deemed solved as soon as Saie’s Slip Tint and Glowy Super Gel took up residence in my makeup drawer—but there’s always a little room for improvement, right? Don’t get me wrong, I’m still obsessed with how healthy and radiant my skin looks when I use these products. However, I’ve been reminded that the sheer (pun intended) ease of applying tinted moisturizer can lead to the assumption that blending is unnecessary. (Newsflash: It is necessary.)

You’re obviously going to need a tool for this, and I may have discovered your foundation’s (or tinted moisturizer’s) new fluffy best friend. Designed to fit into the palm of your hand, Dior’s No. 18 Backstage Face Brush is densely packed with super-soft synthetic bristles that make applying (and blending) and type of liquid, cream, spray or powder foundation a breeze. Best of all, you’re supposed to apply your complexion-coverage product directly to the brush before smoothing it on—which means no more extra mess for your fingers or hands.
