A Perfect Marriage

The Avon Ideal Shade Mousse Foundation Stick ($10; Avon.com) may look like a typical foundation stick, but instead of being thick or chalky—which is what we expect from a solid—it instantly melts into a smooth, creamy texture as it glides over skin. How's that, you ask? The tinted formula in its center contains moisturizing jojoba. When that mixes with the outer ring of pure pigment, it creates a consistency that's sheer and easy to blend (yet substantial enough to disguise a blemish). It's our favorite way to touch up on the go.
