finishing touches

Clockwise from top left: For the capricious client, Bibo introduces Wet/Dry Foundation, shown in Deep, which can be applied dry for a sheer, light finish or dampened for more intense, creamy coverage. Skin-conditioning vitamin E keeps the powder silky to the touch and smooth, not cakey, on the skin. The Loose Powder, featured below in Neutral, adds the final touch with an ultra-fine, velvet-like texture that nourishes the skin with vitamin E and soothing cornstarch.

The essential extracts and vitamins soften and nourish, while the light-reflecting luna essence imparts a radiant glow. And best of all is the self-affirmation message engraved on the compact's inside mirror that reads, "Smile. You're Beautiful." [phone]; www.tonytina.com. Two must-haves for naturalists, La Bella Donna's Compressed Mineral Foundation, shown in Marta, and Loose Mineral Foundation, shown in Umbria, are both made from the purest minerals and contain no irritating additives or fragrance. The light-refractive powder in each provides a soft, natural glow as it defends against damaging UVA and UVB rays. (800) 74-BELLA; www.labelladonna.com.

Ideal for the client on the go, Molton Brown's Under Control Compact Loose Powder, shown in Let's do Lunch, embodies the sheerness of a loose powder yet it's pressed, making it easy to apply and travel-friendly. Light-diffusing particles yield a smooth, luminous glow and the oil-free formula and oil-absorbing silica keep shine at bay. www.moltonbrown.com.
