Great summer base...I've tried a lot of different summer light-foundation type BB creams, including most of the the Korean cushions. ...I bought this last summer and used it all summer in place of my foundation (usually Im a full coverage gal, but being as oily as I am nothing stays in tact during the warm months).

What it is:
A version of the iconic Translucent Loose Setting Powder in a glow finish that sets makeup for up to 12 hours of luminous, weightless wear.

What it does:
Laura Mercier has taken their iconic, cult-favorite Translucent Loose Setting Powder and infused it with pearl pigments so you can lock in your look for up to 12 hours with a healthy, glowing finish.

This lightweight, innovative powder allows you to keep a natural glow, and extends the wear time of foundation by up to double, without adding weight or texture. It creates a healthy-looking, radiant finish with a touch of sheer coverage that resists settling into fine lines and pores. This no-flashback formula means you'll look great in photos.

so, I started off with a full head of blue ruin (also iconic) for the summer but I decided to let my roots grow out so my hair could breathe a little. what I loved most about this purple was how easy it was to transition colors because of its gorgeous cool undertones. plus, the gradation from my naturally dark roots to this vibrant ultraviolet was something else!!! ...I LOVE the smell of the dye, which is a huge thing for me because I hate dyes that smell too artificial or perfumy, but since GDY uses essential oils like bergamot, it smells fresh, refreshing, soothing, and comforting.
