12 Benefit Products Every Beauty Girl Should Own

As a teen, I was befuddled by this tin every time I stepped into my local Sephora . . . but that didn't stop me from smoothing some of the product onto the back of my hand and reveling in its velvety texture. Now I know that it's a luxurious primer in solid form. Slick it onto your face before applying foundation to lock it in place, or dab some on top of your makeup to mattify a shiny T-zone — how you use it is up to you. Though many innovative primers have hit the market since Dr. Feelgood launched in 2004, this remains a tried-and-true favorite of amateurs and artists alike.
