Below, we break down the latest talk of the town. KATE HELFRICH AND SARA BACHIS, SEPHORA COLLECTION PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT THE BUZZWORD: Serum foundation. THE BREAKDOWN: Compared to creams or liquids, serum foundations contain fewer thickening agents, which means that they are lightweight and have a higher concentration of active ingredients and pigments. Because of this, you use less serum foundation for your desired coverage than you would with a liquid formula. THE BEST BETS: SEPHORA COLLECTION Teint Infusion Ethereal Natural Finish Foundation A moisturizing foundation with a barely-there finish. Dior Diorskin Nude Air Serum SPF 20 With its sheer finish, this designer foundation screams luxury the second you touch it.
