Run, Don't Walk—Glossier's Cult-Loved Concealer Formula Is Now a Foundation
If you're like me and have used your Glossier Stretch Concealer ($20) down to the last little bit in the pot, you're going to want to listen up. Normally, as a beauty editor with a very short attention span, I don't exactly use any makeup formula until the last drop, but this creamy, buildable concealer is the exception and a forever favorite. It contains elastic-like waxes that stretch and move with your complexion, creating a true second-skin, dewy finish you just can't find anywhere else. My only complaint? That the formula didn't come in a foundation. Rumor has it, though, that so many Glossier customers reported using the concealer all over their faces that the brand finally gave in and created a foundation formula to match! It's just our luck that it drops today.
I know—you're positively drooling. Even if you're not quite yet, keep scrolling. I'm breaking down everything you need to know about Stretch Concealer's new sister below. You might also be wise to make haste, as this highly anticipated formula is bound to sell out.
All About Glossier's Stretch Fluid Foundation Formula
True to the original Stretch formula, this foundation provides a lightweight, second-skin finish. According to the brand, this formula is composed of 89% skincare ingredients and 11% color pigment. It's a gel-cream emulsion rich in hydrating ingredients like glycerin and squalane, so it won't dry your skin out throughout the day. It can even help repair a damaged moisture barrier. Additionally, plant extracts like wild rose berry and plankton work to help reduce the appearance of excess oil or shine on the skin, making it great for most skin types—even oily. Even if your skin is sensitive to fragrance or is acne prone, this formula could still be a match for you. It's totally noncomedogenic and fragrance-free.
Lastly, it provides medium coverage and comes in 32 shades. In the age of Fenty Beauty and 50+ shade ranges, that doesn't sound overly impressive, but these shades are unique and totally flexible. They can adapt to your specific complexion and work to enhance the natural beauty of your skin tone. So go ahead—smash that buy button. I don't think you'll regret it, especially if you're already a stan for the concealer!

Trust me—this isn't your average lip balm. The entire Who What Wear beauty team agrees that this ultra-nourishing formula is one of the best out there for chapped lips. It contains antioxidants and natural emollients that soothe dry, cracked lips in record time. My favorite shade is this barely-there rose.
I love using this mascara for an easy everyday look. It doesn't offer overly dramatic length, but it doesn't clump or flake, which is exactly what I want in an everyday formula.
This brow gel visibly defines, thickens, and shapes for your best brows yet. I like to use a shade or two lighter than my hair color so that it gives my brows more of a natural look. I'm not sure why it works, but it does!
We've had many good things to say about this perfume. One of the many is that it's designed to adapt to your personal body chemistry, so it will smell slightly different on everyone. Notes of pink pepper, iris, and ambrette seeds give it a sparkling scent that's perfect for any season.
This seamless, buildable gel-cream blush is great to use on both your eyes and cheeks. It's sheer enough that it blends easily but pigmented enough that it gives your complexion the perfect summer flush.
