Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation + Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream

A powerful foundation deserves a powerful moisturizer for prep, which is why we always like to start with the Ultra Facial Cream before a heavy-hitter like Luminous Silk. Not only does this moisturizer prime your skin nicely, it also works to enhance your natural dewiness to make this foundation look even better.

For major hydration with a natural finish, look no further than this CeraVe and IT Cosmetics combo. While the moisturizing cream will do heavy duty lifting to make your skin a whole lot less flaky, the matte foundation will work to keep you shine-free but still hydrated.
