PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD If you’re not one of the lucky few blessed with truly flawless skin, Bésame Cosmetics can help. Its Brightening Face Powder ($22) helps address common complaints such as redness, dullness and sallow complexion with five formulations made for different skin tones and issues. Free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates, the translucent matte face powder not only corrects problems, but also sets makeup, absorbs oil, brightens the skin and subtly highlights the complexion without any added shine or shimmer. Ingredients such as vitamin C, squalene and lecithin soothe and hydrate the skin while allowing for multiple applications throughout the day without powder buildup. Want to give it a try?
