CONTINUOUSLY CARE FOR YOUR SKIN
HELP KEEP YOUR SKIN NOURISHED AND HYDRATED
Base makeup with skincare benefits
The biggest advantage of skincare-infused makeup is that it combines the benefits of skincare like hydration with the benefits of makeup, like helping to smooth, conceal and mattify. It's designed to target specific skin types, whether your is dry and dull or oily and blemished, meaning you can apply makeup that's almost totally tailored to you.
FOUNDATION WITH HYALURONIC ACID
Want to cover up dry skin but find your makeup just highlights dry patches? What you need is a hydrating foundation with hyaluronic acid, like Fresh Nude Foundation. Enriched with vitamin E and natural origin hyaluronic acid, it helps leave skin looking smoother, plump and replenished with moisture for 24 hours. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that retains 1000x its weight in water. So when you apply Fresh Nude Foundation, you get a double whammy of natural, dewy coverage and long-lasting moisture.
Powder foundation with tea tree oil
This full coverage powder foundation doesn’t just conceal redness, and blemishes, it helps control excess oil and shine too. Enriched with sustainably sourced Community Fair Trade tea tree oil from Kenya, it leaves skin looking clearer, day after day. It's also non-comedogenic and sweat resistant, and helps skin stay smooth, fresh and mattified for 12 hours, without setting into fine lines or clogging pores.
Skin tint with edelweiss extract
Our Second Skin Multi-tasking Skin Tint is the perfect ‘no-makeup makeup.’ Enriched with Community Fair Trade moringa seed oil from Rwanda, and edelweiss extract, it nourishes skin with moisture, improves its overall appearance, and helps protect against environmental stressors. And it leaves totally natural light finish, that lasts for 12 hours.
Concealer with vitamin C
This silky, crease free formula is designed to conceal, correct and highlight. This little superhero is enriched with vitamin C and helps to brighten the appearance of your skin, leaving it look lit-from-within. It targets uneven skin tone and conceals dark circles to leave your complexion looking even more radiant. And it’s totally buildable, giving you control over coverage.
makeup primers with dual benefits
You may have used a makeup primer that keeps your face in place for the day, but what about one that keeps your skin happy too? Hydrating primers are a thing, and they're exactly what your makeup bag needs.
FAQ'S
From why skincare only makes makeup better, to whether or not it actually works under your foundation, we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions.
WHY IS SKINCARE IMPORTANT FOR MAKEUP?
DOES MAKEUP AFFECT SKIN?
IS MAKEUP SAFE FOR SKIN?
DOES SKINCARE WORK UNDER MAKEUP?
In short, yes. It helps to tackle your skin concerns, moisturising any pesky dry patches and creating a smooth base for your makeup so that it applies evenly. A good tip is to wait a few minutes after applying your skincare before going in with your makeup – this allows the products to properly sink in, meaning your makeup will glide over the top without setting in patches.
