You better sit down for this: mineral foundation has gone uber-high-tech!

This brand new offering from Lancôme promises to take the stress and mess out of minerals – rather than buffing loose minerals into your skin, its micro-massagers apply the foundation with 7,000 micro-vibrations per minute for seamless blendability with a lot less elbow grease.

Lancôme Ôscillation Powerfoundation Micro-Vibrating Polishing Mineral Make-Up ($48) is talc-free, oil-free and fragrance-free and is available in 12 shades.

I haven’t tried this vibrating foundation yet but I’m dying to see if it really creates “pixel-perfect” skin. If you’ve taken the new Lancôme Ôscillation Powerfoundation Micro-Vibrating Polishing Mineral Make-Up for a test drive—let me know how you like it!

Nobara has been an industry classic for years – celebrities and lay people alike remain devoted still to its beautiful shades and insanely natural coverage.

Now, shu uemura has unveiled the favorite foundation in a convenient stick form! I LOVE stick foundations – they make transporting the complexion perfecting power of foundation portable and put great skin within my reach all the time, and for that, I am very thankful!

How to use: “For best results, blend foundation with Synthetic Brush 14 for wide coverage and Synthetic Brush 12 for more precise areas.”–shu uemura

This all-new offering from Philosophy seems to be presenting itself (in so few words) as the liquid makeup alternative to mineral makeup.

Philosophy touts its water-based formula as being “as good for your skin as any skincare product,” and includes treats like antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and plant-based moisturizers. More importantly, the product offers realistic coverage and leaves skin looking dewy and natural.

Can’t wait to check this out!

I’ve been a big proponent of tinted moisturizers and sheer foundations for years; sometimes, a girl just needs a hint of a tint!

Unfortunately, many women with oily/combination skin have been forced to shun tinted moisturizers, as the formulas are often too emollient for their needs. Oily girls, rejoice!

This brand new NARS Sheer Matte Foundation promises to deliver sheer, buildable coverage that controls oil and shine with a finish that’s beautifully matte.

And for those with normal skin looking for a satin-finish, NARS Sheer Glow Foundation is surely the formula for you. With an exclusive Complexion Brightening Formula, this foundation promises skin that’s more hydrated and luminous than ever.

Can’t wait to see these for myself!

NARS Sheer Matte and Sheer Glow Foundation are available at Nordstrom for $42.
