Primed, To Go with Urban Decay Ultimate Ozone Primer Pencil

Inspired by their 24/7 Glide-On Eye Lip Pencil, Urban Decay’s Ultimate Ozone Multipurpose Primer Pencil is the result of years of product hacking from Urban Decay’s product development team.

Since it first launched, the team has been using the clear Ozone pencil not only to make lipstick and lipgloss last and prevent feathering, but to fill in fine lines around the eyes before concealer, and even clean up smudged mascara. Finally, inspiration struck – why not make more Ozone available to everyone? Ultimate Ozone is a primer in a chubby pencil form, with a bigger barrel for more versatility. The moisturizing formula never feels dull or cakey, and jojoba oil will even nourish your skin as it ensures a smooth application.

Sheer genius, no?

Customized Color – You Already Own

Custom Cover Drops from CoverFX are pure pigments that allow you to customize any product in your beauty regimen and control the level of coverage. These color drops can be mixed with anything liquid, think: moisturizers, serums, oils, primers, foundations, tinted moisturizers and more – to turn them into a custom cosmetic base.

The formula features Flash Fusion™ technology, so as soon as you drop, everything but the pure pigment flashes off, weightlessly transforming your favorite beauty product in the palm of your hand. The pigments are also coated with Lecithin, which is biochemically similar to skin, smoothing the pigment particles so they spread easily.

It’s simple to use, too. Just place your usual product into the palm of your hand, drop in Custom Cover Drops, mix with your fingertips and transform into perfect customized coverage, from a sheer tint (1 drop) to a full coverage foundation (4 drops). Available in 25 shades.

Cover FX Custom Cover Drops, $44, this April at Sephora stores nationwide.
