The Power of 5 Mineral Ingredients

Unlike traditional foundations packed with fillers and synthetic ingredients, this clean beauty favorite is made with just five mineral ingredients—nothing else. It's a vegan makeup product that’s great for all skin types, including dry skin. Yes, you heard it right, a powder that doesn't dry out the skin. Even better, it won’t clog pores and actually promotes clearer, healthier-looking skin over time.

How to Apply: The Infamous 3-Step Swirl, Tap, Buff Method

Achieving an airbrushed finish has never been easier! Follow this simple three-step application method:

  • SWIRL the powder into the cap using the Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush.
  • TAP off any excess product.
  • BUFF into the skin using circular motions.

This motion transforms the mineral powder into a creamy texture, melting seamlessly into the skin for a natural, luminous finish.

Versatility for Every Look

Whether you're going for a no-makeup makeup look or using it as a base for full-glam beauty, this foundation is your go-to. It provides all-day coverage and adapts effortlessly to your routine.

Skin-Loving Ingredients & Benefits

  • Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide provide mineral SPF 15 protection against UV rays.

  • This non-Comedogenic formula won’t clog pores, making it ideal for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
