Glo Skin Beauty Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18 - Tahini

A light liquid foundation that evens out your skin while making it glow, featuring SPF 18 mineral sun protection.

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. This softens the appearance of fine lines and imperfections, 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, and 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 instead of absorbing into it.

The texture is fluid and light, feeling more like a nourishing cream than makeup.

Who it's for

For anyone whose skin looks flat or tired and wants to bring it back to life. It is also great for drier or more mature skin: it won't settle into lines the way a matte foundation can.

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

And something else important: SPF 18 is a nice extra, not a replacement for your sun protection. If you are going outside for the day, make sure to 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 over your jawline, so you don't get a visible line at the transition to your neck.

About this shade

Tahini is around the middle of the range, with the warm, soft beige color of sesame paste.

My advice

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 lead you to a shade that is too dark. If you are debating between two, choose the lighter one: you can fix a shade that is too light with bronzer, but you will see a shade that is too dark all day long.

And something I see often: people use it like a classic foundation and want to cover everything up. This isn't what it was made for. Apply a thin layer over your entire face and then touch up one or two spots with a concealer. That way, you keep exactly the glow you chose it for.
