7. Glossier Futuredew Oil-Serum Hybrid
Glossier is a classic, and it’s so popular for a reason! One of my favorite Glossier products is the Futuredew Oil-Serum Hybrid. What is it? Glossier describes it as “a shortcut to the way your skin looks after a full skincare routine—dewy, glowing, cared-for—in one long-wearing product.” I couldn’t agree more. This serum leaves your face feeling refreshed and glowy, but not overly-hydrated or oily. Best used as the last step in your skincare routine, this product doesn’t interfere with makeup but instead acts as a solid base to your primer and foundation, adding that extra natural-looking glow. It’s 100% plant-based, its main ingredients being jojoba, grapeseed, evening primrose, and rosehip oils. The oils are suspended in water to create a cushiony, silky formula that your skin will love.
