La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-in-Foundation

The product: La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-in-Foundation Why we love it: The latest addition to La Prairie’s popular Skin Caviar range, the Essence-inFoundation combines cellular technology with colour artistry in one convenient (and very on-trend) cushion compact. We’re loving the fact this makeup product also packs a powerful skin-benefiting punch.

The hydrating fluid inside the foundation emulsion leaves the skin looking smooth and refined, while the imperfection-blurring foundation formula provides natural-looking coverage. The release, which is available in eight skin tone-matching shades, is the first of its kind to feature highly concentrated Caviar Water infused in the compact. Meanwhile, the luxury skin care brand’s exclusive Cellular Complex that uses biotechnological research to “give new life and energy back to the very cells where beauty is born” is also on offer in this multitasking compact. Featuring “soft-focus pigments,” the Skin Caviar Essencein-Foundation formula smooths skin’s imperfections such as discoloration, fine lines and even slight acne scarring without becoming a makeup mask. And, the lightweight formula wears well on skin, not migrating around throughout the day. While the prestige product comes at a price, each blue-and-silver compact comes with a refill foundation pod, so there’s twice as much product on offer than with most cushion compact offerings.

The price: $255
