Our eyes are always set to the stars on the Oscars red carpet for spring beauty inspiration, and America Ferrera easily tops our list for her fresh and flawless ‘no-makeup makeup’ look. The Barbie girl’s natural beauty took center stage as she beamed throughout the night, and it was all due to one skin-loving and editor-approved Covergirl foundation. Even better? It’s super affordable — and seeing a 65 percent off price drop on Amazon right now.
The Best Supporting Actress nominee sparkled in none other than Barbie pink, which perfectly matched her rose-toned halo glow from the apples of her cheeks to her trendy nude-pink lips. Her radiant complexion comes courtesy of Covergirl’s Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation, which just so happens to be an editor-tested favorite for its extraordinarily lightweight feel and natural finish. The glow-boosting formula is 100 percent vegan and sensitive skin-friendly, and is powered by creamy, hydrating coconut milk and soothing aloe extract to infuse a healthy-skin glow.
WWD Shop editor Claire Sullivan tested the foundation for three weeks, and was happy to report back that the red carpet-worthy product didn’t smear, smudge, or appear streaky over eight hours of wear time. “As someone with sensitive, dry skin, I’m always looking for clean foundations that go big on moisturizing ingredients,” she said. “The formula is packaged similar to a tinted moisturizer — and applies just like one, as well, as this creamy liquid has light but buildable coverage. There’s a slight smell to the formula, but the cushiony, cooling effect on my skin makes it well worth it.”

The ‘glass skin’ perfecter goes on to blur the complexion like a filter, while depositing nourishing ingredients for a smoothing, lit-from-within glow. It offers especially convenient application as well, as it can be applied with just your fingertips and seamlessly melts buildable coverage into the skin.
Nearly 5,000 Amazon shoppers swear by the Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation, with one deeming it “the most beautiful, lightweight product,” adding that she “literally dreams about products like this” for her sensitive, acne-prone skin. Others say it doesn’t feel like they’re wearing any makeup at all, that it lays thin upon the skin, and makes for an ideal everyday complexion product, especially in the warmer months.
Like Ferrera, the product’s healthy dose of dew will no doubt have you looking bright-eyed and bushy tailed for spring and beyond — and there’s no better time to stock up while every shade is at a discount.
