So I wasn't surprised at all when she was cast as Tinker Bell in Disney's live-action Peter Pan & Wendy (out now). Shahidi's take on the iconic fairy is truly gorgeous—thanks in part to some key Dior makeup products.

Using a skin-blurring makeup primer before you apply foundation is a given for most beauty shoppers—but one of the go-to ingredients, silicone, remains debatable. "Silicones smooth and plump the skin while locking in moisture due to their occlusive nature," says Melodie Reynolds, founder of Elate Beauty. However, concerns have risen amongst clean beauty fans and environmentalists alike that silicones may not "simply dissolve as they go down the drain," as Reynolds puts it. While research is still ongoing, opting for a silicone-free makeup primer can help assuage any worries. Ahead, shop our editor-approved formulas that smooth skin and lock in makeup, all without silicone.
