"It's infused with key ingredients like vitamin E, jojoba, almond, and grape to nourish the skin while providing flawless coverage; plus, it's vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates."

Cream foundations give that enviable dewy glow.

"Physicians Formula is infused with organic jojoba oil, aloe vera, and botanical cactus flower to nourish and hydrate the skin while providing a smooth, satin finish," says Pfropper. "It's also cruelty-free, vegan, and free from harsh chemicals and synthetic preservatives."
