  • Our take on the Essential Duo

    The Essential Duo bundles two bestsellers: a 20 ml Changing Foundation that adapts to your skin tone, and a Mauve Eye Perfecting Shimmer Stick for brightening tired eyes. The foundation is lightweight and buildable, aimed at shoppers tired of hunting for a shade match. The shimmer stick is a quick brightener rather than a full eye look. The set also includes a liquid blush, a dual-ended build-and-conceal brush and a lengthening mascara, so it covers base, cheeks, eyes and lashes in one go. It suits someone building a simple everyday routine; shoppers wanting full-coverage or precise shade control may find the adaptive foundation less predictable.

    About the Essential Duo

    This set pairs the Changing Foundation with the Eye Perfecting Shimmer Stick in Mauve. The foundation adapts to your skin color. It is lightweight and buildable, and it conceals redness and imperfections for a natural look.

    The shimmer stick brightens tired eyes and adds a subtle glow. Its pigments enhance the natural look of the eyes, leaving them looking refreshed and more vibrant.

    The set also includes three extra items: the Vibrant Cheeks Liquid Blush, the 2-in-1 Build & Conceal Brush and the Gilded Lashes Mascara. It dries down to a smooth, non-sticky finish once blended. The dual-ended brush blends and conceals. The mascara adds length and volume without clumps or flakes, and it lasts up to 16 hours.
