An ELLE editor says: “If I were the kind of woman who spent her money freely at the farmer’s market every weekend, this would be my Saturday foundation. However, because I am the kind of person who goes to the farmer’s market on a budget, this foundation is my once-in-a-while splurge-y pick. This foundation gives my skin the most radiant, pretty coverage, all while feeling like nothing heavier than a tinted moisturizer. The good news is that you only really need one pump for your whole face. The bad news is that once you try this, you won’t be able to stop, and you’ll want to wear it every single day.”—Kathleen Hou, ELLE beauty director
