Blithe Makeup Prep Essence

A pea-sized amount of this goes a long way. It goes on as a gel then morphs into a watery film that helps your foundation cling on better and gives it a glowy sheen. Plus, it acts as a protective barrier against environmental pollutants,and prevents makeup from clogging pores. What can we say, we love our multi-tasking products.

$52 for 30ml, available at Sephora.
