One for when your face lacks any sort of radiance and resembles an arid, dusty moonscape (“there’s no life on this planet, Captain!”): Bobbi Brown’s Extra Illuminating Moisture Balm. This hydrating, subtly pearlescent cream gives a nice, even glow that…
In my original review post and video review of the Victoria Beckham makeup collection for Estee Lauder I mentioned that my top pick, if you were going to buy one item, would probably be the Modern Mercury Highlighter. Sort of risky to…
