Makeup products are becoming more and more skincare-like by the day and Becca Cosmetics is introducing a new fusion of makeup and skincare with its No Pigment Virtual Foundation. While no-makeup makeup has been around for a while, this product takes the idea to a new level with a blurring and hydrating transparent-matte foundation product.
The smoothing foundation offers all-day oil control features, sharing the benefits of a traditional foundation with a formula that allows natural skin to shine through. According to the brand, the "new hybrid of makeup and skincare uses Clear Light Blur Technology to manipulate light to visibly smooth skin and blur the appearance of imperfections." Like many skincare-infused makeup products, the silicone-free formula is infused with hyaluronic acid but it boasts a cool, clear formula that's virtually invisible when applied.
