Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer
Nine ingredients. Read that list and it looks like something anyone could make, and thirty years of nobody making it says otherwise. It has been in professional kits since the nineties because it is the only thing with that consistency: solid enough to sit where you put it, thin enough to become a foundation if you work it.
