We can't all be so lucky to be blessed with a flawless complexion just like Blackpink's Jennie (though we can certainly wish for it!), but we can definitely fake it with the arsenal of beauty products out there. Whether you're looking for a dewy finish of a newborn cherub, or an airbrushed look that will give Rupaul a run for his crown, here are the makeup products that you can try to achieve a flawless complexion.

For a dewy finish: HERA Glow Lasting Cushion Foundation, $79

1/6

Glow-boosting foundations can look too shiny after a while in high humidity, but not HERA’s Glow Lasting Cushion Foundation. A lightweight water-based formula, it utilises a Multi-Dimensions Radiant technology to imbue skin with moisture for a from-within glow, with translucent pigments and a Sheer Fitting Film technology ensuring optimal lustre.

For a dewy finish: Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, $76

2/6

For a fluid option, there’s the Hollywood Flawless Filter from Charlotte Tilbury, which gives the dreamy aesthetics of ’50s Hollywood and is formulated with a lightweight, moisturising Glossy Oil that works to reflect light while keeping skin hydrated for up to 24 hours.

For a natural-looking finish: Chantecaille Future Skin Cushion Skincare Foundation, $195

3/6

Hitting all the right notes, Chantecaille’s Future Skin Cushion Skincare Foundation looks totally natural and feels completely weightless. The water-based cushion also has skin-loving ingredients such as bionymph peptide, which stimulates collagen synthesis, and botanical sugars, which help reduce pollutant adhesion on the skin.

For a natural-looking finish: Gucci Beauty Fluide De Beauté Fini Naturel, $100

4/6

Favour a liquid formula? Reach for Gucci Beauty’s Fluide De Beauté Fini Naturel, which goes on like second skin for feather-light, breathable wear. It comes in 25 shades, so you’re assured of a colour match.

For an air-brush like finish: Tom Ford Beauty Traceless Soft Matte Foundation, $145

5/6

Lending skin a gorgeous matte luminosity, Tom Ford Beauty’s Traceless Soft Matte Foundation has microsphere powders that diffuse light for a soft-focus effect while optically blurring imperfections. The long-wearing, humidity-resistant formula also has a hydrating blend of peptides and lady’s thistle extract to regulate sebum production.

For an air-brush like finish: Sulwhasoo Perfecting Foundation, $72

6/6

Sulwhasoo’s Perfecting Foundation, too, delivers velvety-smooth coverage that masks surface flaws while wearing comfortably. Bonus: It comes with ingredients that work to hydrate and strengthen skin.
