Essential Face Compact

You get a two-in-one foundation and concealer, plus a gleamy highlighter, in this chic new compact from top NYC makeup artist Fara Homidi. Homidi has been using it backstage at Victoria Beckham and Gabriela Hearst and on magazine covers to create glass skin, matte ’90s makeup, no-makeup makeup, and more. It starts with Smooth Veil Soft Matte, a velvety cream-to-powder foundation-meets-concealer: As a foundation, it’s buildable and medium coverage and leaves a soft, natural, blurred finish. Used as concealer, it seamlessly covers imperfections and spots (we recommend Homidi’s Petit Conceal Brushfor this); either way, the combination of Amazonian cupuaçu butter, kaolin clay, and rice powder feels incredible going on. Layer the Smooth Veil with the Shine Baume, a sheeny highlighter balm made with unique hyaluronic acid microspheres, sunflower seed oil, and responsibly sourced mica to deliver a dewy radiance. The two are packed into a glossy and totally refillable tomato-red compact that goes anywhere. Use it withHomidi’s Buffer Brushfor the most flattering, natural finish.
