Truly, I hate foundation. I avoid wearing it at all costs, save for the occasional touch-up at a beauty event or something. I don’t even wear it for weddings—why bother, when today’s high-tech primers manage to eradicate uneven texture and BB and CC creams have such dreamy creamy textures that you can barely feel them? And that’s the biggest complaint I have about foundation—that first, you feel it, and second, you can see it! And at the end of the day, when it’s all lifty and white, emerging from the cracks around your nose and under your eyes??!! Grossness. But then this DiorSkin Nude Air Serum showed up and turned my thinking on its head. It’s cray cray cray lightweight and serves as the ultimate base for my beloved RMS "Un" Cover-up, (a worthy splurge), allowing it to glide over it like a sunscreen-lubed-up baby down a water slide.

So if you’re a foundation girl who needs to re-up her supply for summer, make sure to add this to your beauty shopping list.
