Enjoy 36-hour colour-true wear that balances skin with oil control and hydration. With 60 shades available, there's one made for everyone. This reimagined Double Wear offers enhanced makeup and skincare benefits for truly "made for more" performance. It features a lightweight, more fluid texture providing medium to full coverage with a dimensional, never-flat matte finish. The foundation is weather-proof, gym-proof, and transfer-proof with waterproof colour coverage. It boasts 60 true-to-skin shades, now with enhanced pigments and a more dimensional finish. Enjoy 36-hour oil control and immediate hydration, with continued use reducing oil production and maintaining skin's moisture for 72 hours. The non-drying formula unifies uneven skintone, covers imperfections, and reduces the look of pores. It is non-fading, non-poring, non-caking, non-streaking, and won't settle into lines. Colour coverage is sweat-, heat-, and humidity-resistant, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It is a non-comedogenic foundation. If you're a Double Wear fan, you'll appreciate the same true-to-skin match in an even better formula. We recommend getting re-shade matched for the best possible match. For those preferring extra control, a reusable pump is available. Key Ingredients include Polymer Mesh Matrix Technology for breathable wear and colour lock, Double Balancing Complex (AlgaNiacin) for oil control and hydration, Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid for moisture, Niacinamide for sebum reduction, and Brown Algae Extract for oil reduction.
This buildable, breathable foundation is for individuals seeking a long-wearing, flawless matte finish that lasts up to 36 hours. Its key benefit is providing full-coverage makeup with significant skincare advantages, balancing oil control and hydration. A potential caveat is the need for re-shading if you are a returning customer, as the formula has been enhanced. It offers 60 true-to-skin shades, features weather-proof and transfer-proof color, and improves skin's oil production and moisture balance over time.
