your Beauty Our duty

Christian Breton No Makeup Powder, $40, at Henri Bendel (NYC) or call 800-848-6835

Christian Breton's No Makeup Powder is that rarity in the increasingly specialized beauty world, an effective product that pulls not just double, but triple duty: as a concealer, foundation, and light bronzer. For those for whom base is a four letter word, Breton's clever mix of violet (to correct discoloration), white (to illuminate), and beige (to balance and bronze) pigments offers an alternative route to flawless skin. Best of all, Breton's commitment to universal beauty means that the all-purpose perfector works well across a wide spectrum of skin tones. As Seen in Elle!
