Glo Skin Beauty Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18 - Alabaster

A light liquid foundation that evens out your skin while making it glow, with mineral sun protection factor 18 included.

Why it works

Dull skin usually doesn't need more color, but more light. This formula contains diamond powder: microscopic particles that diffuse light instead of reflecting it harshly. As a result, fine lines and imperfections are softened without making you look shiny or glittery.

The coverage is light to medium and buildable. It also contains vitamin C and rosehip oil as antioxidants, along with cica and seaweed for hydration and a calm skin barrier. The sun protection comes from zinc oxide, a mineral filter that sits on top of your skin rather than absorbing into it.

The texture is liquid and light, feeling more like a nourishing cream than make-up.

For whom

For those whose skin looks flat or tired and wants to bring some life back into it. Also great for drier or more mature skin: it doesn't settle into lines like a matte foundation might.

If you have very oily skin, this is probably not the right choice: the glow you're looking for here is something you already have naturally.

And one more important thing: factor 18 is a nice extra, not a replacement for your sun protection. If you are going outside for the day, still apply a proper SPF underneath.

How to use it

Shake the bottle well before use, as the mineral pigments will settle. Apply after your serum and cream, using a foundation brush or your fingers. Work from the center of your face outwards and always blend down past your jawline, so you don't get a visible line at the transition to your neck.

About this shade

Alabaster is the lightest shade in the range. Alabaster is a very pale, almost white stone, and this color follows that direction.

What I'd like to share with you

Test your shade on your jawline, in daylight, and not on the back of your hand. Your hand rarely has the same color as your face and will almost always steer you toward a shade that is too dark. If you are doubting between two, take the lightest one: you can fix a shade that's too light with bronzer, but you'll see one that's too dark all day long.

And one thing I often see: people use it like a classic foundation and want to cover everything up. That's not what this is made for. Apply it thinly over your entire face and then touch up one or two spots with a concealer. This is how you maintain the exact glow you chose it for.
