Makeup or skincare? No need to choose

Nothing sits as long on or as close to your skin as makeup. Yet, for the longest time, most makeup products were created with zero benefit to the skin. Thankfully, that is changing. There are now mascaras that condition and strengthen your lashes, lipsticks infused with peptides and hyaluronic acid, and foundations, like Laura Mercier’s latest, which is chock full of antioxidants that treat everything from fine lines to dark spots. You shouldn’t have to compromise on skincare for a bit of colour.
