Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals seeking a foundation that offers both immediate cosmetic enhancement and long-term skincare benefits. The key win is achieving a natural, luminous matte finish with buildable coverage that lasts up to 16 hours while improving skin quality over time. A potential consideration is finding the perfect shade match, as undertones (warm, cool, neutral) play a significant role in the final look. This foundation is formulated with 82% skincare ingredients, including niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and white mulberry extract, to moisturize, smooth fine lines, and enhance skin elasticity. Its 71% natural origin formula is non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The foundation offers medium, buildable coverage, a luminous matte finish, and is resistant to heat, humidity, and perspiration, ensuring color stays true throughout the day.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this foundation?

The primary benefit is its dual action: it provides immediate cosmetic enhancement with a luminous matte finish and buildable coverage, while also delivering skincare benefits that improve skin quality over time.

How do I determine the correct undertone for my skin?

Warm (W) undertones are for skin with pink, apricot, or copper tones. Cool (C) undertones are for skin with golden, ocher, or bronze tones. Neutral (N) undertones are for skin with no particular dominant tone.

Is this foundation suitable for oily or dry skin?

Yes, it is formulated for all skin types. Its 82% skincare base helps to moisturize, making it suitable for dry skin, while its luminous matte finish and resistance to humidity are beneficial for oily skin. Setting with powder may enhance longevity for very oily skin types.

Can this foundation be layered for more coverage?

Yes, the coverage is buildable. You can apply a second thin layer or tap extra product onto specific areas to achieve higher coverage or to blur imperfections.

What are the key skincare ingredients in the formula?

The key skincare ingredients are niacinamide (to nourish, smooth, and improve skin quality), pure hyaluronic acid (for moisturization), and white mulberry extract (an antioxidant that plumps and protects the skin).

How long does the foundation typically last?

The foundation offers up to 16-hour long-lasting hold and resists heat, humidity, and perspiration, ensuring the color remains true throughout the day.

What is the percentage of natural origin ingredients?

The formula comprises 71% ingredients of natural origin.

How should I clean the foundation bottle?

Clean the bottle with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents.

Troubleshooting

Foundation appears cakey or heavy

Ensure skin is well-moisturized before application. Use less product and blend thoroughly. Try applying with fingertips for a more natural finish.

Color does not match skin tone perfectly

Re-evaluate your undertone (Warm, Cool, Neutral) and select the shade that best matches. Consider using a shade slightly lighter or darker for contouring or highlighting if needed.

Poor longevity or fading throughout the day

Ensure skin is properly prepped and set with a light dusting of powder if you have oily skin. Reapplication might be necessary for very long wear days, though the formula is designed for extended hold.

Difficulty blending the product

Ensure your skin is hydrated. Warm the product on your fingertips before application or use a damp beauty sponge for a seamless blend.
