Beauty Roundup: Screen-safe bases, puppy highlighter, and the new Ordinary clone

Happy weekend, everyone! If you’re like us and still recovering from those insanely campy and absolutely glorious MET Gala looks, this week’s beauty roundup will help bring you that zen, back-to-reality beauty dose that you need. We’ve got the latest on a new skincare player to rival TO’s fuss-free formulations and Happy Skin’s latest high-tech creation! We’re also spilling the deets on Gucci’s return to the beauty world and something called a puppy dog highlighter?!

Each product is ingredient-led, which allows you to better target the different needs of your skincare regimen. You can now find The Inkey List in Beauty Bar stores, and on Sephora PH.
