 The Best Foundations
By Carolyn Brundage
I've tested and tried four dozen liquid foundations in the past several months and rounded up a definitive list of the best liquid foundations and tints on the market.
Love it! Face Atelier Ultra Foundation
Ideal for skin in need of more coverage or mature skin
"Because looking good is the best revenge!" These words, scribbled in ivory print on the side of the charcoal box that houses this miraculous liquid foundation, had me reminiscing of that one mean girl in high school with the perfect skin and hair.
And while I've no desire to get even, I'm happily faking that creamy complexion I once envied. My secret? Face Atelier's silicone-based Ultra Foundation, which forms a lightweight, breathable second skin that appears flawless.

 Long Lash Infatuation: LATISSE
LATISSE™ solution is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for thin or sparse eyelashes to make them grow longer, fuller and darker.
LATISSE™ is believed to affect the growth period of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this growing period; and second, it increases the number of hairs in your lashes. Each evening, just apply the once-a-day treatment to the base of the top lashes, just like eyeliner. Results may be seen starting at 4 weeks with full, lush results after 16 weeks.

 Buy this, not that: Which products really help you save face?
The book Eat This, Not That! offers up food swaps that promise to yield calorie savings that add up. Well, we've got our own little black book and it's filled with products that can save your beauty budget and your good looks.
Buy This: EmerginC's Swift Lift
Not That: Ceramic Skin Smoother from Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals
Perricone's Ceramic Skin Smoother is a pricey product - $75 for one ounce - that didn't produce the expected results, specifically helping to correct "fine lines, wrinkles and skin imperfections." EmerginC's Swift Lift sells at a slightly higher price, $79 at emerginc.com, but came through on its promise to deliver a noticeable - yet temporary - firming and tightening effect. (Gotta love the honesty at EmerginC.) Apply a few drops daily either under makeup or moisturizer, or even mix it in with your liquid foundation for a daily boost.
