Beauty Scoop: Face Odyssey

The future of foundation has landed.

The future of foundation has landed, and—no surprise—it arrives courtesy of the Japanese. Inspired by the culture’s demand for precision, SK-II Air Touch Foundation ($195, at Holt Renfrew) is distributed through a sleek, robotic-looking dispenser in tiny, positively charged particles, which are attracted to the negative ions it disperses on the face.

Because the particles land next to—not on top of—each other, the result is an exact, flawless application. If the technology alone doesn’t convince you, consider that it was put through its paces on runways and on-set by international makeup guru Pat McGrath—and it got her unequivocal seal of approval.
